The Eurovision Song Contest 1980 was the 25th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on April 19, 1980 in The Hague. The presenter was Marlous Fluitsma, although each song was introduced by a presenter from the nation represented. In some cases, this was the same person providing the commentary. All the introductions were made in the language in which the song was performed, with the exception of Ireland. Thelma Mansfield introduced the song in Irish, whereas the song was performed in English.
Israel, winner in 1979, declined to host the show for the second time in a row, as the IBA could not fund another international production, and the Israeli government turned down a request to extend the IBA budget. Moreover, the date that was eventually set for the 1980 contest by the European Broadcasting Union coincided with Israel's Day of Remembrance for their casualties of war, so Israel decided not to participate at all. After Spain, the 2nd place winner of 1979, and reportedly the UK, refused to host, the Netherlands finally agreed to host the show in a small-scale production. According to Yair Lapid, son of Tommy Lapid who was then the IBA director general, Lapid called his counterpart at NOS and convinced him to take the "undesired honour", when he realised that the extra cost could paralyse the regular work of the IBA. The same arena in The Hague used for 1976 - the Congresgebouw - was chosen, with parts of the opening film from 1976 being reused in the introduction and the same set designer (Roland de Groot) taking charge of the design. For the first time since 1977 and 1978, there were no filmed postcards between the songs, with a guest presenter from each nation introducing the entries. NOS spent just US$725,000 on the project.
Anna Vissi & the Epikouri
Participating countries
Morocco joined the Eurovision family for the first (and so far only) time. It is rumoured that they were only brought in to replace Israel.
Monaco withdrew, and would not return until the 2004 semi final.
Each country had a jury who awarded 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points for their top ten songs. However this year for the first time, countries were required to cast their votes in ascending order, 1,2,3 etc. This change made for the added excitement of waiting for each country to award their highest 12 points at the end of each voting round.
Australian-born Johnny Logan, representing Ireland, was the winner of this Eurovision with the song, What's Another Year which was wrtten by Shay Healy. This was Ireland's second time winning the competition, having won in 1970 with All Kinds of Everything.
Johnny Logan
Germany were runners-up this year. They would finish in second place again the following year, finally winning it in 1982. Germany would go on to finish second again in 1985 and 1987, making the 1980s their most successful decade. United Kingdom returned to form by coming third.
The Netherlands gained a strong lead early on, getting the maximum 'douze points' from three of the first four voting countries. This was not to last, however, as Germany and eventually Ireland overtook them.
Returning artists
Three artists returned to the contest this year. Katja Ebstein already represented Germany in 1970 and 1971, Maggie MacNeal represented the Netherlands in 1974 as a member of the duo Mouth and MacNeal and Paola represented Switzerland in 1969.

How can I help a family member with cancer?
The kind of care a cancer patient needs depends largely on the stage of cancer he has. According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer's progress can be divided into five stages. Stage 0 cancer means abnormal cells are present but have not spread to nearby tissue. Stage I, stage II and stage III means cancer is present and may have spread into nearby tissues. Stage IV cancer has metastasized, or spread to distant parts of body. This article will focus on caring for cancer patients with stage IV cancer who may not expect to make a recovery.
There are various types of cancer caregiver support you can offer as a family member. You can help support your cancer patient emotionally and physically as they cope with pain and discomfort and as they make end-of-life plans.
Helping a cancer patient emotionally and spiritually
As a family member, you may be a great source of comfort to your husband, mother, brother, or daughter who is a cancer patient. According to the National Cancer Institute, you can keep the cancer patient company and listen to her talk about memories from her life. You can also listen as she expresses fear and concern about dying. You can talk, watch movies, read, or just spend time with her.
If the cancer patient is spiritual, you can pray with him and arrange visits from spiritual leaders and church members. You can make sure he has meaningful objects, such as spiritual symbols or books, close at hand.
Helping a cancer patient stay comfortable
According to the American Cancer Society, physical symptoms in the last 2 to 3 months of life may include fatigue, pain, decreased appetite, and problems breathing. Cancer patients with stage IV cancer may be offered palliative care. Palliative care is also called comfort care, supportive care, or symptom management according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the goal is not to cure the cancer. Rather, palliative care seeks to improve the quality of life of the cancer patient and treat symptoms and side effects.
As a caregiver of a cancer patient, you can assist with palliative care. According to NCI, you can ask if the cancer patient is comfortable or experiencing any pain. If she is experiencing pain, you can contact the doctor or nurse and report that prescribed dose of pain medicine appears to be ineffective. You also can monitor symptoms such as anxiety, restlessness, nausea and vomiting in the cancer patient and report these to the doctor or nurse as well. Contact a nurse or doctor if the cancer patient is unable to urinate or empty his bowels, is having trouble breathing, or shows discomfort by grimacing or moaning.
Helping a cancer patient with end-of-life plans
If you're a caregiver to a cancer patient, you may encourage her to make a make-end of life plans in writing, if she has not done this already. According to the California State Bar, a will is a legal document giving instructions to be carried out after your death. Things a cancer patient might want to include in a will and end-of-life plans are:
- Directions for burial or cremation
- Beneficiaries of her estate
- Specific directions on distributing certain assets, such as jewelry
- Guardianship for minor children
- Care plans for pets
- An executor of the will to collect and manage her assets, pay debts, and distribute assets to beneficiaries
As a caregiver, you can reassure the cancer patient that you will honor advance directives, such as wills, recommends the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Cancer caregiver support
If you've be coping with a loved-one's cancer diagnosis for a long time, you may feel that you need cancer caregiver support. According the NCI, a cancer patient's health affects their loved ones more than the loved ones realize. Caregiving for a cancer patient can result in feelings of fatigue, stress, depression and anxiety. Cancer patient caregivers can take a step back and ask for support from friends and family, which may relieve some of the burden of caring for someone who is sick or dying.

Mr Issa Aremu, a former Governorship candidate in Kwara State on Sunday called on Nigerian leaders to promote the values and legacies of late Maj.-Gen. Babatunde Idiagbon.
Aremu made the call in a lecture to commemorate the 20 years anniversary of the death of Idiagbon in Ilorin, Kwara.
Idiagbo served as Chief of Staff Supreme Headquarters under the military regime of Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Bhuari from 1983 to 1985 and was a former graduate of Nigeria Defence Academy and Naval Postgraduate School.
Aremu, who is the general secretary of the National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, said it would beneficial for those at the helm of affairs to promote the legacies and values of Idiagbon as a way of moving the country forward.
He described Idiagbon as a selfless, incorruptible, versatile, courageous leader whose passion for equity, fairness and integrity was second to none while his tenure lasted.
"It is not enough to immortalise or recognise the late Idiagbon by naming institutions or landmarks against his name.
"To me, every Nigerians, more importantly our present leaders, stand a lot to gain by promoting the values he stood for which contributed to the enormous achievement recorded during his stewardship," he said.
Aremu while applauding Idiagbon's background and profile said such was the magic wand that assisted him to become the number two citizens under the military administration of Buhari.
"He doesn't rely on any godfather but his profile and background stood for him and this resulted in the numerous achievements to his credit.
"We have leaders today who are carriers of dual citizenship holding double passport, leaders who are not loyal to their followers or the country.
"Anything goes as far as it satisfy their selfish and personal interest; so it is better for us to always check the profile of our leaders before they are appointed into sensitive positions," he said.
Brig-Gen. Saliu Bello, a former Military Administrator of Kebbi state, who also doubled as the Chairman of the occasion, urged the youths to take a cue from the exemplary life of Idiagbon.
He described Idiagbon as an epitome of discipline, transparency and uprightness who did his best to promote moral values among Nigerians.
Mr John Adegboye, the President of The Zealous Kwara Youths, in his remarks, said the Buhari/Idiagbon regime should be remembered and celebrated for championing zero tolerance to bribery and corruption, filthy environment and ungodly attitude.
"The regime was the first to put in place the best mechanism to zero tolerance in addressing bribery, corruption, reckless driving, indiscipline and immoral act, lateness to work and other illicit acts.
"These issues all combined are the main reasons why Nigeria is yet to be among the first World Nation," he said.

It seems that Democrats are getting even more outrageous and radical with each passing day. On Thursday, Twitchy said that Democrat White House hopeful Beto O'Rourke told Chris Hayes that he would tear down parts of the border wall that are already in place. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., another one of the many Democrats considering a run for the White House in 2020, followed up by saying she could support O'Rourke's call to tear down existing barriers.
Democrat Senator Kirsten Gillibrand on removing existing border barriers: "I could support it" pic.twitter.com/t0mm6reOfm
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) February 15, 2019
If there was ever any doubt that Democrats support open borders, this should remove them.
"I'd have to ask folks in that part of the country to see whether the fencing that exists today is helpful or unhelpful," she told Fox News. "I could look at it and see which part he means and why, and if it makes sense, I could support it."
Fox News added:
O'Rourke, who's seriously mulling a White House bid of his own, said Thursday in an interview with NBC News that he'd "absolutely … take the wall down," referring to the barrier by El Paso, Texas.
O'Rourke, who came close to upsetting GOP Sen. Ted Cruz in last November's Senate election in Texas, argued that the existing 600 miles of wall and fencing along the 2,000-mile border have "not in any demonstrable way made us safer."
Republicans quickly criticized O'Rourke, charging that he embraces open borders.
Quite an agenda for the Democrats, wouldn't you say?
agenda items:
removing border barriers
banning private health insurance
getting rid of affordable energy
supporting infanticide https://t.co/cmYw4UrBv7
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) February 15, 2019
While speaking in New Hampshire, Gillibrand also claimed the border crisis is "manufactured." In other words, she thinks it's all FAKE!
2020 Watch: On @realDonaldTrump declaration of #BorderEmergency along US-Mexican border, @SenGillibrand -in NH- says "I think this is manufactured, I think this inappropriate… it's not only reckless but it's unwise." #nhpolitics #FITN #Immigration #nypolitics #mapoli pic.twitter.com/ogzSuVcA5r
— Paul Steinhauser (@steinhauserNH1) February 15, 2019
"I think the only national emergency is the humanitarian crisis that President Trump has created at our border by separating families from children and treating people who need our help inhumanely. I think this is manufactured, I think this [is] inappropriate," she said.
Odd, we don't recall her angst when Obama separated families at the border…
Exit question: How high does the body count have to get before she'll recognize that a problem exists?

The Boys Who Danced With The Moon

Can you ever escape the past? Kiran Wells, a mid-30's professional living on the West Coast, thought he was safe until an anonymous letter arrives from his hometown. Its only contents- an old newspaper clipping about a drowning twenty years earlier. Leaving career and friends behind, Kiran returns to the place of his youth to find the conjurer of his past.
Kiran is a quiet and shy teenager with a taste for alternative music growing up in a suburban northern town during the mid-80's. The arrival of two students, the confident and rebellious Marius and the naive, cloak-wearing Moony, awaken Kiran. On the eve of graduation, fate turns the volume off in Kiran's world and his memory fades to black.
Returning to his hometown, Kiran is forced to confront the demons that haunt him. His future depends on whatever hope he has left and the life or death decision he must ultimately make. Will he hear the music again?
The Boys Who Danced with the Moon is a coming of age tale of friendship, youth, and love.
The novel is available in paperback and ebook formats.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
REVIEW from the Booklife Prize (a division of Publisher's Weekly)
Plot: This skillfully crafted YA mystery novel revolves around a past event that continues to haunt its protagonist. Oleksiw offers a realistic portrait of a suburban town in the 1980s and of the ties that bind individuals to the place of their origins.
Prose: Oleksiw works in a clear, lyrical prose that effectively conveys the unfolding events, while kneading at the more elusive aspects of the story, as filtered through time, tightly held secrets, and memory.
Originality: Oleksiw deftly blends a coming-of-age story with elements of a mystery, resulting in an insightful and refreshing YA novel with crossover appeal to an older audience.
Character Development: While the protagonist remains somewhat of an enigma throughout the novel, readers will come to know him through his relationships with other characters. The circumstances of the mystery will keep readers fully engaged, as will Kiran's quest to rediscover, or perhaps reclaim, his soul.

The crash following the UK's historic vote to leave the EU took the pound to a thirty year low with the most dramatic one day fall since 1971.
A week ago travellers and investors could get $1.50 for every pound. That fell to $1.37 on Friday morning and to $1.32 by Monday.
However, a slight increase since around 3pm on Monday June 28 saw the value rise to $1.33 by Tuesday morning.
This means that compared with a year ago, Americans will be paying 20 per cent less for everything that comes from Britain.
Great news for the tourist industry and those selling to the US, bad news for those wanting to go on holiday or import from the US.
Value of £ vs $
The impact in Birmingham following Brexit has been twofold.
A Birmingham MP has warned that HS2 investment is now in the balance while councillors are demanding government replaces the city's £300 million EU funding.
Meanwhile, city leaders have warned of an increase of racism and hate crime across the city.

Everyone thinks they are a fantastic cook or somewhat skillful on the grill and they may be right. But plenty of barbecue parties have been ravaged by someone brandishing a giant fork who believes they understand all there's about barbecuing.
Although you do not need to be an expert cook to produce delicious food, I highly recommend following a few straightforward tips and tips to transform your ordinary bit of fish or meat or maybe a vegetable into a top-notch outdoor dining experience.
It's not important if you're using an electric BBQ or a charcoal one, grilling is a labor of love which needs expertise, commitment, and most importantly, training. Here are a couple tips.
1. Properly handle food
Improperly handled food may turn your BBQ into a bust. Nobody enjoys spending nearly all the day from the restroom. Always keep the meat cold (but not frozen) before you set it on the BBQ. Outdoor cooking substantially increases the possibility of food spoiling as a result of warmer temperatures.
Never allow uncooked meat, poultry, seafood, or poultry close to other foods and meals surfaces. Constantly keep the food covered. If the uncooked food has been left out for more than three hours, then toss it out.
2. Season the grill
As many people year their cast iron skillets, we ought to season the BBQ prior to and after grilling. Coat the surfaces of the grates with cooking oil that could withstand high heat (such as canola and olive oil).
Make sure the surfaces are evenly coated, wipe off excess oil with a paper towel. Turn in your grill and allow it to be for approximately fifteen minutes, or till the oil burns. Don't forget to retouch the oil coat.
3. Prepare the setting
Before turning to the BBQ, be sure all of the tools and utensils you are likely to desire is going to be organized on a table near. The same is true for the fish, poultry, fruits, and veggies you are likely to cook, nevertheless, be sure you practice appropriate food safety and preparation. Doing this ahead will save yourself a great deal of energy and time.
4. Don't pierce the meat
Never poke the meat if it's connected like sausages. Do not use forks to undo or go beef. Each of the succulent juices that give the meat its flavour will vanish to the flames and you're left with a sterile, dull sorry excuse for a beef. Turn the meat afterwards. If you have successfully grilled a slice of meat, allow 5 minutes to permit the beef to recompose itself.
5. Give the meat a little room
The meat needs considerable distance around it to allow proper heat transfer, ventilation, and cooking. Overcrowding the BBQ can result in uneven cooking and meat parts not cooking at the exact same moment. Make sure you have sufficient gas so the fires do not stop whilst in the middle of a roast.
6. Reheat pizza using a grill
BBQs are a terrific way to reheat pizza. Simply place the heat on low, preheat it, set the cold pizza on the grill and close the lid. Leave it for a few minutes or until the cheese melts.
7. Use aluminium foil
Use an aluminium foil to make bags or components to cook delicate foods like veggies and fish. Do not place the foil bag on the jar, instead put it on the warming rack with the lid.
8. Grill as oven
Grilling is foods cooking with direct warmth whilst roasting is the opposite. You can turn your BBQ into a toaster with a few straightforward tricks. You can now cook fish, poultry, and other roasted food, not use a toaster.
Preheat the grill with all burners on, and following the grill is satisfactorily warm, turn off half the grill then place the meals which you are likely to shake on the unlit side. Don't neglect to use a thermometer to check if the food is finished.

Real bride blog Laura …. Our first trip to Paris! Part 2
So you have read all about how Josh and I met… now read on for our first romantic break together
It was in the April of 2016 we decided we wanted to go on a romantic trip to Paris for a few days. It would be our first holiday together and I was feeling really excited about spending a few days alone with Josh on what was my first time to Paris. We arrived at our accommodation and it was lush, you could see the whole city with a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower from our window. We couldn't wait to go out and visit "Gai Paris" we didn't even unpack our suitcases, we went straight out to explore – there was so much to see.
We walked along a street and past all the amazing designer boutiques; there were cafes and small bars, (which I had only ever seen in magazines). After all this walking we felt hungry and we bought a yummy Nutella crepe from a small stall in the town. We wanted to take a closer look at the Eiffel Tower so we walked across Le Pont D'lena Bridge and saw the tower up close, it was amazing. There were lots of souvenir stalls and entertainment; we even saw a couple getting married on the bridge – how romantic!
During our time in Paris we did lots of things each day, we visited the Notre Dam, Arc de Triomphe where we climbed the stairs all the way to the top and the view of the city was just breath taking. We then visited the Louvre where we saw the Mona Lisa painting and many more famous paintings and exhibits. We also visited the Love Lock Bridge where we talked about the future and more holidays together, and then we wrote our initials on a lock which sealed our love and placed it on Love Lock Bridge forever.
One morning we woke up and decided we wanted the whole Paris experience so we took a stroll and found a place where we had a typical French breakfast of coffee, orange juice, and croissants. It was definitely a holiday of indulging, having fun and relaxing together.
A special souvenir portrait of us both which was sketched by a street artist is hanging in our home and brings back many happy memories of our first holiday. We had the best time and we left feeling really happy and excited about planning our future together.

Pozor, zmena finálnych súradníc!
EN: The longest continuously-running film festival in Slovakia, the Artfilm Film Festival was established in 1993, the same year in which the Slovak Republic was founded.
The Artfilm tradition came into being thanks to the initiative of two film directors: the festival's long-time artistic director, Peter Hledík, and Vladimír Štric, who worked as program director until 2004. And since the festival's earliest developments, Slovak actress Božidara Turzonovová has chaired festival committee.
According to Hledík, the festival's founding was connected to its time. Due to the closing of Koliba Studios right at the start of the 1990s, funding for Slovak cinema rapidly dried up, and films stopped being made. Artfilm wanted to make up for this. The first annual festival commenced on 14 June, 1993 in Trenčianske Teplice, under the auspices of UNESCO. It was an intimate presentation of documentary films, and it screened in just one cinema for two hundred viewers.
This first festival was dedicated to films about the baroque period, because 1992 had been the international year of the baroque, resulting in many films being shot on this subject. In reaction to the break-up of Czechoslovakia, the organizers decided to create a comprehensive overview of documentary film work throughout the Czechoslovak era. The first year's guest star was British avant-garde filmmaker Peter Greenaway.
As time went on, the festival's organizers became increasingly aware that limiting the festival to documentaries was unnecessary, and they consequently widened its scope. In 1995 came the first major turning point in the festival's history: its focus shifted to a presentation of films concerning art and artists. It was also that year when the first Actor's Mission Award was bestowed, to Italian actor Franco Nero. And to this day, nearly forty Slovak, Czech and international performers have arrived to accept this prestigious award, including world-famous stars such as Geraldine Chaplin, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Gina Lollobrigida, Catherine Deneuve and Ornella Muti, and Slovak and Czech performers including Jozef Kroner, Emília Vášáryová, Ladislav Chudík, Jiří Bartoška, Iva Janžurová and Bolek Polívka.
The competition of feature films was introduced to the programme in 1997, as was the expansion of the festival to include screenings in Trenčín.
In 2001, Artfilm started awarding a variety of national and international film professionals as well, with the Golden Camera, for their notable contributions to the world of cinema. The prize has been received by more than twenty artists, among them Martin Hollý, Dušan Hanák, Juraj Jakubisko, Andrzej Wajda and Miklós Jancsó.
In 2002 Artfilm began to define itself as a festival of film artistry, and since then it has focused on feature films from around the world. 2002 also saw the arrival of the popular open-air cinema – the Čadík Brothers' Travelling Cinematograph.
Several more festival landmarks took place in 2007. First of all, it celebrated its 15th anniversary, for a cumulative total of 105 festival days, and having screened over 1500 feature-length, medium-length, and short fiction films, as well as animated, documentary, and experimental works. It was also in this year that the number of festival cinemas increased, and Peter Hledík became the director of the Actor's Mission Award.
In 2009 so far, Peter Nágel has assumed the role of program director, and Artfilm has changed its name to Art Film Fest.
What started as an intimate gathering of filmmakers and fans has over the course of the years become one of the most prominent cultural events in Slovakia.
Thanks to the festival's expansion into Trenčín, Artfilm has also drawn new audiences.
The number of visitors grows each year. While 1993's Artfilm was attended by a modest 400 guests, four years later attendance levels surpassed 15 000 film fans. In 2007, Artfilm welcomed close to 25 000 visitors, and last year this number rose to nearly 30 000.
From its onset Artfilm has distinguished itself with the intimate atmosphere of Trenčianske Teplice and its thermal spas. As at any film festival, quality films and interesting personalities go without saying, but Artfilm's tremendous asset is its truly familial atmosphere, allowing visitors to meet and converse with festival guests on the streets of Trenčianske Teplice.

In the 1980's, one of the most legendary pools was the San Juan Capistrano Pool in California. Founder of Team Pain, Tim Payne, had the opportunity to skate the infamous backyard pool and noticed it's strengths and weaknesses. According to Tim, "the pool had an amazing deep end, but the shallow end wasn't as good; it needed some tweaking." Tim thought if there could be a bowl with a similar deep end, but a shallow end that allowed you to keep your speed, it would be perfect! In 1989, Tim got the opportunity to build this "dream-bowl" when he was commissioned by Henry Finch and Nancy Moore of Charleston, SC to design and build a completely unique skatepark. The result was the now legendary "Charleston Hangar." The Hangar was quickly noticed by the skate industry. At the time, there wasn't amazing skateparks popping up left and right like there are today. The Charleston Hangar became an outlet for East Coast skateboarders and helped solidify professional skateboarding on the East Coast. The bowl was eventually moved to Johns Island, SC about 10 years later. The Charleston Hangar Bowl has now come full circle for Team Pain and we are hyped to be constructing it in the concrete medium for Arvada, Colorado! When this park is finished, you should definitely go skate it to say that you have been a part of skateboarding history!

July is Smart Irrigation Month and with the region's recent heat, it's a good time to review simple watering strategies that will keep your landscaping beautiful and healthy.
– Zone Defense: Schedule each individual zone in your irrigation system appropriate for the type of sprinkler, drip irrigation, garden, sun or shade exposure, and soil in that section. Different zones will almost always need different watering schedules.
– Water Belongs On Your Lawn: adjust sprinklers to water your lawn only, not the driveway, street or buildings.
– Easy Does It: Saturate root zones and let the soil dry. Watering too much and too frequently results in shallow roots, weed growth, disease and fungus.
– Timing: Watering during the heat of the day may cause losses of up to 30% due to evaporation. Prevent water loss by watering when the sun is low or down, winds are calm and temperatures are cool — typically between the evening and early morning.
– Water More Often For Shorter Periods: Setting your system to run for three, 5-minute intervals lets soil absorb more water than watering for 15 minutes at one time, reducing runoff.
– Be Smart. Smart controllers adjust the watering schedule based on the climate, often saving 30-70% in water.

When it's ready. Have patience.So when exactly will Transformers: Prime be released?
When it's ready. Have patience.So when exactly will Transformers: Prime be released?
How's that good? I don't get home from work til much later.OK, Atomic Betty has Finally! has Good Times on the Weekdays! . I might get to see 1 of the Episodes....
Live action sitcoms are one thing, but when animation is involved, that changes the rules, IMHO. I'm personally willing to give the original TF and G.I. Joe series a try if they were to air them either during the day or just before bedtime hours. Those, and any other classic animated shows they decide to pick up. I don't really like the idea of not being able to watch a show I might like simply because it's past my bedtime...TheVofSteel said:Wow, this network is starting to remind me of old school Nickelodeon.
Kids' programming during most of the day, classic TV shows late at night.
I would rather like the network to pick up films that we haven't seen before on any of the kid oriented networks. It just makes me think that it will return again on Cartoon Network or even FX which is catered to just about everyone in terms of programming.Updated the top post. Zap2it is listing episodes for 10am-5pm on Sunday 10/10. The first movie to air on The Hub will be Garfield: The Movie on 10/10 at 12pm.
They're already getting into the habbit of mini-marathoning shows and airing multiple episodes of the same show throughout the day much like their competition does, I was kind of hoping for something different with the scheduling from The Hub but I guess I was silly to think something like that.
Since it's not a 100% official schedule then I'm still kind of hoping that the schedule changes and becomes more diverse, but I'm not going to hold my breath on it or anything since I've been let down by other networks before.
Cable or satellite, it doesn't matter. If you have Discovery Kids, then you'll get The Hub. The whole channel is changing; it's not just something that's only happening in select areas.Well, i have Cox, i don't know if it will changed into the Hub on Oct 10?
This remark, Pogorikifan24, actually brought this awesome tidbit in my interest (http://www.atomiccartoons.com/development/atomic-betty-redux/).All i can Hope is Atomic Betty being Keeped on The Hub.
Since there might be a Sequel Series... They might air it on The Hub in the Future. But, I'm Hoping Atomic Betty will still remain on The Hub . Cause That was an Exciting Surprise ^^.

THE LITTLE GIRL WAS SCREAMING AND sobbing as her voice played back on the answering machine: "I've been kidnapped by a man with a knife, and oh, my God, here he comes…" Then the phone message stopped abruptly. Linda Inghilleri recognized the voice at once. It belonged In her goddaughter. Katie Beers, just two days shy of her 10th birthday. She was supposed to he with family friend John Esposito, spending the afternoon of Dec. 28 at a nearby indoor amusement park. But when Inghilleri telephoned Long Island's Spaceplex Family Fun Center, she learned the worst. Katie had disappeared—and a frantic Esposito was searching for her. "I'm sorry," he kept sobbing as he spoke to Inghilleri. "I'm sorry."
Immediately police in Suffolk County, N.Y., began an intense, highly publicized search for the 4-foot-tall girl with dark blond hair. But detectives strongly suspected Esposito, 43, from the start. Not only did they discover Katie's hat and coat in the back of his black Nissan pickup truck, they found her handbag in his house. Then they learned that Esposito, a building contractor, had a disturbing history. In 1977 he had pleaded guilty to attempting to abduct a 12-year-old boy from a Long Island shopping mall.
That was enough to launch what Det. Lt. Dominick Varrone freely ad-mils was "a campaign of intimidation." In a predawn raid on Dec. 31, police searched Esposito's home in Bay Shore, N.Y., but came up empty. Three or four cops followed Esposito round the clock, going everywhere he went, even up and down the aisles in the supermarket. They asked his twin brother, Ronald, to try to convince him to take a lie detector test. They even leaned on his lawyer. "We know your guy has her or knows where she is," one officer told attorney Andrew Siben. "He better start talking."
On Jan. 13, Esposito finally broke. He led police to the renovated garage behind his home, which he used as an office. Then, as startled detectives watched; he unscrewed four bolts holding a stereo cabinet in place and eased it out of the wall. Underneath was a rug covering a 200-pound concrete slab so heavy it had to be raised with a block and tackle. It sealed a vertical shaft leading to what can only be called a dungeon—a 6-foot-by-7-foot windowless chamber. Police called out Katie's name and, after what seemed like a very long time, heard her answer softly, "I'm here."
For 16 days the girl had been chained by the neck in a soundproof box—2 feet wide, 7 feet long and 3 feet high—that was mounted inside the chamber. Her only light was from a television set and from a closed-circuit monitor that showed what was going on inside the main house. The room was chilly and damp; moisture seeped through the walls. "This was straight out of Silence of the Lambs" says Clint Van Zandt, supervising agent of the FBI's behavioral sciences lab in Quantico, Va. "It was a prison from medieval times."
Every evening Esposito brought Katie salami sandwiches, pizza and diet soda and gave her enough freedom to go to the bathroom in a jury-rigged ; portable toilet lined with a black plastic bag. "Very often she couldn't hold herself [until Esposito showed up]," Varrone says, "And she relieved; herself under the TV." The stench was intense. Once, Esposito spent time with her watching America Most Wanted on television. The program that night was about her disappearance.
Esposito had dragged the screaming girl into the chamber after he tried to touch her sexually, police say. She had become upset and he panicked. In all, Katie spent 381 hours there, most of the time alone. She worried that she would never be found. And she wondered if stains she saw on the sheets meant other children had been there before her. But Katie, who had already had her share of life's hard knocks. was resourceful. "Sometimes I would think of this as a Home Alone game," Katie told police afterward. "Sometimes I would think about Dorothy [in The Wizard of Oz]. I would say, 'There's no place like home. There's no place like home.' "
For Katie Beers, home was no place for a child either. Indeed, caught between two barely functional families, she was the center of a grim drama devoid of the saving magic of fantasy. When she was 2 months old, her mother, Marilyn Beers, 43, a cab driver who admits she has no idea who Katie's father is, found taking care of her daughter so overwhelming that she gave Katie to a woman she had met in her cab—Linda Inghilleri, 39. For the next five years Linda and her boyfriend, Sal Inghilleri, 39, whom she eventually married, lived in a series of apartments. Then, in July 1988, Sal suffered a heart attack and the Inghilleris moved in with Marilyn Beers, her son, John, then ,11 and her mother, Helen Beers, who owned the house.
The place was squalid, filled with garbage and overrun by eats, roaches, even rats. Katie, then 6, had few friends. Other kids made fun of her because of her messy home, calling her "dirty Katie" and "the cockroach girl." "She was never clean, always underdressed," says Mary Ann Rio, a hairdresser in a nearby shopping center. "On the coldest days she'd wear a thin jacket, no hat, gloves—half the time she didn't have shoes."
Katie spent most of her time running errands for her extended family—especially for Linda, who was confined to a bedroom after losing a leg to complications from diabetes. Neighbors say that Linda would summon Katie by thumping on the floor so she could but cigarettes, candy and food. At least twice a day Katie did the laundry. "She was so tiny, but she was very independent," says Trudy Welsh, who works at the QT Laundromat in West Islip. "She used to stand on the wagons to reach the machines. I felt so sorry for her. She'd be here at 11 at night." Sometimes Katie would talk to Welsh over a cup of coffee. "I'd say, 'Katie, you're not old enough to drink coffee.' And she'd say, 'I've been drinking coffee since I was 4.' "
In 1990. Katie went shopping in a local supermarket but didn't have enough money to pay for the food. Police were called and took her home. After seeing how the family lived, I ho officers contacted child welfare authorities. Case workers visited but didn't find enough wrongdoing to intervene. Not long afterward, a bank foreclosed on Helen Beers's second mortgage and both families were evicted. Katie went with the Inghilleris to a rented bungalow in Bay Shore. There she had her own room, which was decorated in Disney: 101 Dalmatians bedspread, rug and drapes, Beauty and the Beast pictures on the wall. Sal, also a cab driver, says they were happy, but in January 1992 Marilyn Beers took Katie back, accusing Sal of molesting the girl. He was charged with first-degree sexual abuse and is expected to stand trial soon. He denies fondling Katie, but police say he signed a written confession.
Katie moved in with her mother, John and grandmother in a tiny one-bedroom apartment in a converted garage in Mastic Beach, 35 miles east of the Inghilleris. In September she began fourth grade but was soon sent home with head lice. Marilyn cut the girl's hair short and returned her to school, but she was sent home again—for the same reason. She never returned to class. She did, however, return to the Inghilleris, even though Sal was under a court order to keep away from the child. Katie stayed with Linda and Sal on weekends. It was then that she began seeing Esposito—even though Marilyn Beers had accused him of molesting John. Katie's half brother. She never filed formal charges.
Esposito was unmarried and always showering neglected kids with gifts and attention. He maintained a lavish recreation room—unlocked at all times—where kids could shoot pool, play video games and help themselves to bowls of candy. During the 1980s he had tried to join the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program, but the organization turned him down when it found out about his criminal past. A few years later he reportedly put an ad in a local newspaper. volunteering as a Big Brother. "We thought he was weird," says Phil Vollaro, 17, who grew up down the block from Esposito. "He was nice, but he'd have mood swings.
On Dec. 28. the day Katie disappeared, Esposito promised to take her to Toys R Us and the Spaceplex center to celebrate her upcoming birthday. At the toy store he bought her a Barbie workout tape, a troll doll and a Home Alone 2 Nintendo video game. Their next stop was a 7-Eleven, where a video camera caught Katie buying a Slurpee with a $5 bill and putting the change in her small purse. From there they went to Esposito-home, where he tried to fondle and kiss her. When she became upset, he locked her in the dungeon he had secretly built 18 months before, just after his mother died and he was alone in the house for the first time. There he forced Katie to make the fake kidnapping tape, which he played over a pay phone at a nearby service station. Then, police say, he raced to the indoor amusement park and began a show of looking for Katie.
Near the end of her confinement, Katie told police, she tried to trick Esposito into releasing her. "I told John that I was sick and I had to see a doctor. He said, 'You're going to have to wait.' And he left." She never expected to see him again. "Before he left, he told me that he was going to hang himself and leave a note on him and police would find me." But he went to his lawyers instead, and they called the police. Now, indicted on 11 counts of kidnapping and sexual abuse, Esposito is in an isolated cell, held on $1.1 million bail. Siben; his attorney, says Esposito is depressed: "He's tired, looks like he lost a lot of weight and is having a very difficult time."
Now that Katie has been released, things are looking up for her. She is in a temporary foster home and has already enrolled in school. Meanwhile, a family court is deciding whether Marilyn Beers is fit to raise her. But perhaps more important is the simple fact Katie Beers is alive, something police attribute to the harshness of her life. "She's a feisty little girl," says Detective Varrone. "Some of the things she's been through helped her survive."

New legislation proposed in several states make foreclosure a nonstarter for community associations.
The Foreclosure Process and How HOAs Recover Money
In a condo or HOA the normal method to collect delinquent maintenance fees is to send an owner to the attorney. The attorney will then move the process through the courts. This means foreclosure for delinquent maintenance fees. The object is to foreclose and take "intervening title" on properties.
It's "intervening title" because in most cases the unit still has a mortgage. Soon enough the lender is coming for their collateral. The association can hold title but they cannot sell the unit as it may have a debt attached to it. With luck the association can get this title without too much expense and rent out the unit. That is the only way the association can recover money if somebody does not bid the unit when it goes for sale.
The association foreclosure worked in the past but now it is becoming obsolete.
The rental revenue may cover losses for maintenance fees. It may also cover the rehabilitation of the unit, commissions and marketing of the unit to a renter. There are also the legal costs & fees that the association spent to get the title.
With luck the association can hold on to this unit long enough to recover their money. Its a hard way to recover delinquent maintenance fees. It is also an obsolete maneuver to foreclose to recover money.
This is how it has always been, especially during the real estate meltdown of the last decade. Now, the times they are a changing.
New Law Proposed in FL Removes Ability for Associations to Collect Rents
In Florida, an amendment to Florida Statute § 697.07 has been proposed. This new law will entitle banks to step in and take those rents. In essence this completely neutralizes the benefit of foreclosure for community associations.
Delinquent maintenance fees, legal costs, late fees, late interest will remain a loss. Only the lender will benefit when an association forecloses. In other words there will be no good reason for a community association to foreclose on a unit. They will not be able to monetize it should they prevail in court.
These are not isolated events but a trend. Banks may be slow learners but they will always make decisions that will benefit their bottom line in the end.
New Law Proposed in SC Removes Foreclosure as an Option for HOAs
In South Carolina a bill pre-filed this month would prohibit HOAs from foreclosing at all. This bill would strip this power from associations. "Real property used as a primary residence may not be sold if the action was instituted by a homeowners association attempting to collect unpaid dues, fee, or fines", the proposed bill states.
These are not isolated events but a trend. Banks may be slow learners but they will always make decisions that will benefit their bottom line in the end.
Association foreclosures are likely to become less common nationwide. This is a good thing! Community associations and their attorneys have long abused this power. Small debts get inflated with legal fees, and the case gets moved to foreclosure. Ultimately this does little to benefit the association.
Eliminating foreclosures will limit community association's power to collect delinquent assessments. Fortunately, there are other alternatives to recovering delinquent maintenance fees.
The Real Estate Meltdown is Over, But We're Acting Like It's Still Going On
People are fallible and don't always manage their financial affairs well. Such people need a wake up call, NOT their home confiscated.
In 2009, during the height of the real estate meltdown, many properties did not have equity. Originally purchased by "Flippers and investors," many were simply abandoned. Banks were stalling foreclosure and these properties were sitting there rotting. In those times it made good sense for the association to rush to the courthouse and foreclose on delinquent units.
Today most homes have equity and are appreciating in value. It's unlikely the current owners would let the property be taken from them if they can avoid it. If equity outweighs the debt it would be foolish to lose a property. Most units delinquent in their maintenance payments will pay without legal intervention.
A Viable Alternative to Foreclosure Is Available for Smart Community Associations
Eliminating foreclosures will limit community association's power to collect delinquent assessments. Fortunately, there are other alternatives to recovering delinquent maintenance fees.
Retaining a collection agency that specializes in community association debt is becoming an increasingly popular option.
Many collection agencies work on a contingency basis, while Lawyers get paid regardless of the outcome of the cases they take. This means collection agencies are much more motivated to seek a timely resolution.
Less Negative Impact on Community Members
Strategies employed by debt collectors have a much lower impact on your community. With a strategy of engagement and education, these agencies are looking to resolve issues and improve communications within the community. This is done with the use of proper notifications, outbound calls, credit bureau reporting, letters sent to mortgage holders, placing of liens, and other techniques.
Frankly, association foreclosure on delinquent owners is obsolete. Even without the change in the laws this method to collect on delinquencies needs to be reconsidered.
It's time for management companies and boards of directors to think how the future collects and engage specialized collection companies to collect delinquent condo and HOA debts.

Taking A Nature Walk
November 30, 2009
The lone Canada goose and reflection was taken last week on a walk.
Thank you every one so very much for your wishes and blessings.
Thank you for allowing me to get on my crate the week before.
Hopefully I didn't offend to many of you (maybe you got to thinking about it) when I wrote about the subject of carbon.
Let the madness begin.
Thanksgiving went off without a hitch.
Still, there is so much to be thankful for on a daily basis.
Even the birds had a treat.
As every year I offer them the seeds from squashes and some years pumpkins.
Friday morning gave us a tease of things to come, as there was about an inch of snow on the grassy areas.
It melted rather quickly, however.
Christmas decorations are pretty much up (I don't go hog wild like I did in my youth).
Bird activity comes and goes, but it seems to be picking up some.
You may notice that some birds come and go at certain times of the day.
Like all creatures, birds too are a creature of habit.
The first of the month.
Time to give the feeders and baths one more good cleaning and sanitizing before the cold settles in on many of us.
A good 10% chlorine bleach solution will do the trick.
If you have crud stuck in and on your feeders, forget the bleach and go directly with 'Oxygen Bleach'.
Place hot water (not so hot to melt plastic) and a liberal dose of 'Oxygen Bleach' in a large container and place your feeders in it.
The chemical reaction will foam up and remove the crud while sanitizing at the same time.
Rinse well or you will have a powdery residue left over, but either way, this product is all natural and will not harm your wildlife at all.
If you don't know what 'Oxygen Bleach' is, think name brands like 'Oxy Clean'.
I use Oxygen bleach all the time for deep cleanings on many items.
For a quick clean,
Spray your feeders with rubbing alcohol and leave it.
The alcohol sanitizes and evaporates before you know it.
Besides germs and diseases, seed and feed can go bad when it sits in wet conditions for to long a period.
Remember to keep your water sources fresh as well.
I have a dilemma.
In the past, I would do special letters on readers favorites and memories throughout the year and they have always been a hit.
I certainly enjoy putting them together and it encourages reader participation.
Recently, however getting reader participation for favorites or memories has been a bit taxing and no one enjoys that.
So, I will leave it up to you.
Do you want me to continue this tradition?
If so, I need participation without feeling like I'm begging.
In the past I discouraged last names for what I figured to be for your safety and security.
From now on, you may include your last name if you choose to do so.
This way, you can show your friends and family that you are published in a United States and Canada wide newsletter.
Send your Christmas favorites or memories along with your.....
First Name (Last is optional):
City or Region:
State or Province
I look forward to your participation, even if you have shared in the past, please do so again as readers continue to come and go.
You may want to share memories as a child or starting your own family.
Maybe it's going out and cutting a fresh tree or hanging lights on the palm trees.
Singing carols, church plays or anything you so choose.
Christmas season is special.
Thank You.
One of my walks this past week had a mission to it.
With camera in had, I went out to shoot some pictures of nature.
Now, you may think there isn't a whole lot out there to photograph in Michigan this time of year, but you are wrong.
In fact, nature provides something year round.
No matter where you live.
One only has to open their eyes to see.
The photos provided are from my nature walk (plus a sunset from last week).
Here in Michigan, other than birds, a few animals and some evergreens, very little else shows any sign of life.
Most deciduous trees and shrubs have lost there greenery.
Wildflowers, weeds and much of the native grasses have gone dormant or killed off by Autumn frosts.
Cooler weather has forced insects, amphibians, reptiles and some mammal species into hibernation or dormancy.
With the lack of color and wildlife, there are still many reasons to get out and enjoy the natural world around you.
Even this time of year you can find interesting and educational things on a nature walk or in your neighborhood.
This past week I enjoyed a late November day and a nature walk.
With my camera in hand, I went looking for something in particular.
A bird nest.
Not just any nest, but the digs or hangout of our local resident Red-tailed hawks.
This is an ideal time of year, as most trees are naked.
I think I know where to look, but it will take some hiking.
It also gave me a chance to turn my walk into a newsletter.
So I went looking for other bird nests in the brush and small trees.
It gives me an idea of where they nest.
It also helps to gage local populations and other things.
Robins are amazing architects and builders.
Sometimes the nest is patched up and used again and in some cases, records show the nest to be used the following year.
Yes, robin nests often survive the severe weather conditions many of us have throughout the course of a year.
When you are out and about, you may want to take a peak in an old nest.
Here you will see that a field mouse is taking advantage of this robin nest that was built in the cover of a wild Juniper.
Now that is nature at its creative best.
Taking advantage of what is out there.
Walks will show you the remains of an old dove or cardinal nest.
Depending where you live, you may find a tight, down lined nest from an American goldfinch.
If you are blessed, you may find the walnut sized nest of a hummingbird. (I have yet to be so blessed).
You may even find an old nest ravaged by a predator.
When walking, keep your eyes open to your surroundings.
You may see a tree that has been rubbed by a deer or possibly a flattened area where some deer may bed down.
If you keep your ears open, you may even hear the thumping of hooves or crashing through the underbrush.
Look closely, what may look like a ubiquitous squirrel nest may be that of an owl or a species of hawk.
The neatness and all the sticks tell me that this nest isn't from a tree dwelling rodent.
Woodchucks or groundhogs are very common around here, yet they go into hibernation by mid November.
What was interesting, is this creature wasn't here a week ago.
The hole was.
Was this woodchuck dragged from its hole and killed?
It appears to be the case, but from what and why.
You can see that it has been picked on or nibbled at, but not feasted on.
I have seen a badger around here last year, and I know they will use old woodchuck holes and feed on woodchucks, but this one hasn't been feasted upon.
No matter...........................................
It is part of nature that I would not have seen sitting inside.
My walk continues and I do spot a few deer as they crash through the brush and splash through the creek.
I am purposely making noise, because it is deer hunting season.
I know I am withing city limits, but that doesn't stop some from illegal hunting.
While on your walks, you may notice a deer rub like this on one or several locations.
On with my quest.
A month ago, when many trees were filled with Autumn's colors, I spotted a Red-tail hawk take flight from a distant clump of trees.
A well protected area.
This would be an ideal location for a nest.
Through some thickets to the edge of the creek I came to the opening and up in a distant tree was my treasure.
Separating me and the giant trees is a swampy area so I had to find a location to get a better picture.
A close up if I could.
Surrounding the area to the west is a rather large wetland, so my best bet is to get a zoom shot.
This picture is quite a distance from me, but you can easily tell it is a large nest constructed of sticks and twigs.
No hawk, but I finally found what I was looking for.
Red-tail hawks can and will use the same nest from year to year.
Thay are also quick to abandon a nest (even with eggs or young) if they feel threatened.
It is always wise to steer clear of nesting birds when possible.
Don't you just love a successful walk?
Keep your eyes open and you just might come across something besides a nest.
Keep your eyes open for lichen, moss or even toadstools.
I hope you enjoyed the photos and a bit of my nature walk.
Be sure to get out there and take advantage of what God has to offer us.
It may not sing or bloom.
It may not run or make noises.
But, there is always something exciting going on in the Natural World around us.
Well, it is time to fly for now.
Before I go, here is your positive thought for the week.
God Bless.
There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
John Andrew Holmes
I like this quote.
Don't you?
Read it again.
It isn't the physical exercise that is so good for your heart.
It is the feel good work you do that makes your heart beat a little faster and grow just a tab bit more.
Reaching down could mean you are helping a fellow human being back to their feet after they just tripped and fell down.
You could be helping a friend that stumbled back to their feet.
Or, reaching down could be helping another that is experiencing a rough time or season in their life.
Reaching out to help those that just lost a loved one.
In these rough times, reaching out to others that lost a job or their home.
Reaching down to lift up the down trodden.
Helping the homeless and the helpless.
Volunteering at a shelter or mentoring a young boy or girl.
When you have finished reaching down to help another, I mean truly help..............
You walk away with that feeling of joy.
You also walk away with a feeling of sadness.
You feel your heart grow and you feel gratification as well.
You may say to your self "I can do this" or "I like helping other" or "I feel good"
This my friend is the best exercise for your heart.
It is also part of what we are made to do.
God wants us to help others.
To help the weak and those that can't help or stand up for themselves.
This is what really exercises the heart my friend.
Until next time.
"Treat the earth well:
It was not given to you by your parents,
It was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our
Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."
Ancient Indian Proverb
Your friend indeed,
Ron Patterson
Better yet, have them sign up so they can receive their own letters.

NASHVILLE – An investigation by Special Agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment and arrest of a Lebanon man charged with theft from his stepfather's estate.
On June 12th, at the request of 18th Judicial District Attorney General Ray Whitley, TBI agents began investigating Roger Dale Garrison. Garrison served as the power of attorney for his stepfather Talmadge Owen and his mother Agnes Owen. Agents learned that between October 2009 and December 2010, Garrison moved a Certificate of Deposit valued at about $140,000 to a Westmoreland bank account in Garrison's name and wrote himself checks from Talmadge's account for more than a year after the death of his stepfather.
On November 5th, a Sumner County Grand Jury indicted Garrison, charging the 56-year old man with Financial Transactions from Felony Theft Proceeds and Theft of Property. Today, Garrison was arrested and booked into the Sumner County jail where he is being held on a $10,000 bond.

Personally really like the flavor of this juice although I do add ice menthol.
By Frank from England
This was my second juice from v4 vapour. And it's awful. Tastes so much like perfume. And the smell from the exhale was making my mrs bork
Like rotten old lady perfume
By Vespii
This was the perfectly flavoured Blue Raspberry for me, however it burns out my Aspire Atlantis evo 0.4 coils within hours. Maybe it could work for you, I also put a menthol nic shot in it, but I've used those before and it didnt contribute to my coils being wrecked.

Anavar is a primary solution for both athletes and bodybuilders. It has a series of uses, but it is also ideal to people who need some recovery. Since it stimulates the amounts of calcium in the skeletal system, it is great for people after a rough trauma, chronic infections, problematic surgeries and other similar problems. It is great to lose weight, but also to gain weight. It works wonders on HIV patients whose muscles are wasted because it helps them get back on their feet. All in all, when compared to other steroids, it helps you lose fat without having any side effects on the actual muscles.
Month: August 2014
What Makes Steroids So Important For Athletes
Perhaps athletes represent the most common category of people who get steroids for a top notch performance. Basically, taking steroids on a regular basis will severely reduce the fatigue while enhancing the endurance and actual performance. Athletes can engage into physically exhausting activities without really feeling tired. The same rule applies to bodybuilders. In the long run, such results cannot be obtained otherwise. Even if they can, the achievement might take months or even years. However, professional athletes who need to attend various competitions are supposed to be very careful about the steroids they take. Otherwise, they risk being suspended or banned.
Benefits Of Orally Ingested Steroids
The best steroids depend on several factors. The method of administration is very important. Aside from the classic injections given by doctors, you should pay attention to orally ingested drugs too. These varieties are more popular. Not all of them require medical prescriptions. They are also less expensive. As if all these were not enough, orally administered steroids are less powerful, so their potential side effects are very mild. Whichever your selection is, discuss it with a doctor. Research various steroids over the Internet as well and try to find a product that will truly meet your necessities and expectations.

Values education is a subject that may be neglected in some educational settings. An absence of values education may lead to dysfunction in society. Scholars have only recently become interested in the importance of values education (Koh, 2012). Although the National Education Policy in Bangladesh has long emphasized the inculcation of values in educational institutions (Ministry of Education, 1974, 2010), recent research has revealed the inadequate implementation and practice of values education (UNICEF Bangladesh, 2009). The purpose of this basic interpretive qualitative study was to understand the high school graduates' perspectives regarding values education and the values they learned while attending a Catholic Church-sponsored school in Bangladesh. The research protocol comprised semistructured, open-ended interviews and a focus group discussion with 12 participants. The participants were purposefully selected and were interviewed in sessions lasting 40-75 minutes. Data was analyzed using an inductive and constant comparative process. Analysis revealed seven values education related principal themes that were relevant to the study's purpose and research questions. The values education related themes were: (1) learning specific values through relationships, (2) learning values through school culture, (3) long-term impacts of school experiences, (4) benefits of co-curricular activities, (5) necessity of values education, (6) school's duties in implementing values education, and (7) acquired values that conflict with societal norms. In addition, analysis also provided information about the participants' meaningful memories and experiences during their 8 years of schooling that connected to learning values in school. Five recommendations were proposed for further research to gain an in-depth knowledge of current practices in values education: (1) duplication of qualitative research with teachers as participants, (2) a qualitative research with female or mixed participants, (3) a similar qualitative research with participants of general schools, (4) a qualitative study with current students as participants to understand the current practices, and (5) a quantitative study to investigate the correlation between learning values and co-curricular activities and school programs. Three recommendations were proposed for the institution that the participants were associated with: (1) the findings of this study should be shared with faculty and administration, (2) the school should assess and explore ways to enhance cultivating values and what might be done differently in cultivating values, and (3) efforts should be made to emphasize integrating values education into the curriculum for inculcating values in school.
