In a recent Baker Institute Blog post, Bonner Means Baker Fellow Joe Barnes discusses the public protest over pensions and government employees.
Barnes writes that many workers feel that if one part of the working class receives low benefits, then the other part should too. "For tens of millions of our citizens, the American Dream has become precisely that: a fantasy," he writes.

There's this little girl that I have had the privilege of praying for and following for a couple of years now. She used to be known as Lucy, but when she was adopted by her forever family they named her Teresa. Teresa has a heart that is needing a miracle. Her parents have left no stone unturned for her and the doctors are saying that she might not make it through this year. But we know a God that can perform miracles and has a heart for orphans. Please pray for this precious child.

The interview was recorded in San Salvador, El Salvador,on June 19 1997.The Interviewer was Jean Krasno. In the twenty years since the signing of the Peace Accords, El Salvador has made impressive progress in expanding political and media freedoms, reforming the military and security forces, lowering rates of poverty and inequality, improving respect for human rights, and reforming electoral institutions. Today, however, El Salvador faces unprecedented security and economic challenges. An upsurge in transnational crime, including narcotics, weapons, and human trafficking, has intersected with longstanding problems of gang violence such that El Salvador suffers one of the highest homicide rates in the world. El Salvador's economy continues to struggle amidst the global recession and weak economic recovery in the United States, the country's largest export market. 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z Sr. Miguel Saenz, June 20, 1997 Saenz, M. http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh/handle/123456789/3121 2019-03-28T10:03:18Z 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z Sr. Miguel Saenz, June 20, 1997 Saenz, M.

During its session on 22 November 2012, the Academy of Language elected, to occupy the place left vacant by the death of Eliseo Álvarez Arenas in September 2011, our colleague Miguel Sáenz, who takes his place in 'seat B'. Sáenz is inconstestably an emblematic translator. A translator at the UN before devoting himself to literary translation, in that capacity he was awarded the most important prizes. Along with the National Book Prize in 1981, the National Prize for Children's Literature in Translation in 1983 and the National Prize for a Body of Work in 1991, he is the only Spanish translator to have won the EU's Aristeion Prize (1998), and also the only one to have been awarded an honorary doctorate by Salamanca University in 2002. In its reaction, the office of ACE Traductores said: 'As a spokesperson for the whole of our profession, we want to congratulate Miguel Sáenz and rejoice at the presence in the Academy of one of its founding members, committed to all our struggles and demands, a member of the joint commission of translators and publishers, whose first words to the press after his election were a claim for his profession, our profession, "the eternal absentee when we talk about the chain that ensures the spread of literature." 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z

Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves. 1 Timothy 6:2 (NIV).
Perhaps none of us in America can imagine this kind of predicament: being a slave who follows Jesus while serving a master who also follows Jesus. It's true. We can't truly imagine it because we aren't slaves. There is no American citizen alive today who was an American slave, is the child or grandchild of a slave, or has any personal experience with legal slavery in the United States. It was outlawed as a legal institution 154 years ago. Yet, back then, it was very real. There were real slaves and masters believing in the same Jesus while one lived in cruel servitude to the other. Yes, slavery still does exist as a criminal exercise on this planet, even within the United States. But that isn't what we're talking about (yet hold the thought).
Perhaps the closest parallel we of the 21st Century could draw is supporting a boss who you know believes in God. We aren't talking about supporting someone who says they believe yet says or does things to rebel against Him. I'm more talking about supporting a boss who is harsh, tough, demanding. Perhaps a leader or manager who insists that you always give your best, always hold to the highest standards, always demand more from you.
You know, like Jesus would. Jesus could be hard and demanding of people who were egregious offenders, people like the Pharisees. Yet He was also demanding of His closest friends, even as He usually interacted with a softer approach. You and I, we like to say that we'd give Jesus worship, faith and (at least) respect, right?
Perhaps He has given us hard taskmasters in our lives to serve purposes that we don't fully see. Perhaps He allows others in our lives to push us to do things that reveal the best in us; iron sharpening iron. Perhaps God works on us, collectively and individually, through authorities (as my pastor friend, Phil, recently reminded in a sermon). Perhaps we should respect the boss, the CEO, the leader, the US President, because God is working even through them. Perhaps God even still allows slavery in our world so that others might be reached by Him, through it.
Perhaps? Yes. Yes indeed, Jesus does all these things to us and for us and for our overall good in His Kingdom. Knowing that, shouldn't we do our best to render respect and honor to those above us even if they sometimes seem like slave masters? Perhaps. You know the answer.
For further reading: Philemon 16, Proverbs 27:17, 1 Timothy 6:3.
Wonderful Savior, we often fail You through things like slavery. Thanks for Your patience, and teach us today to respect authorities, bosses, and leaders over us.

Let me introduce myself and tell you a little about what I do. My name is Ric Foster, I'm the Public Lands Department Manager and I have been with Sharetrails.Org/BRC for just over ten years. I'm usually the guy on the other end of the phone when you call the office…

Public Lands Department Manager
Let me introduce myself and tell you a little about what I do. My name is Ric Foster, I'm the Public Lands Department Manager and I have been with Sharetrails.Org/BRC for just over ten years. I'm usually the guy on the other end of the phone when you call the office and want to talk to someone about whatever public lands issue you may have in your area.
I have a number of different jobs here including monitoring the agency news feeds for upcoming meetings and comment deadlines, keeping the computers in the office up and running and troubleshooting issues with software and emails. I do research, packaging and shipping, graphics and a host of other things for the organization. Most recently I have been working with Michael Patty, our Magazine Editor and resident graphics guy, overseeing the design and completion of the new website. (sharetrails.org)
We have spent a lot of time working to give the new website a fresh new look, to make it easier to navigate and most importantly user friendly. So please take a few minutes, check it out and let us know what think. You can do that by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. While you're on the website you should take the opportunity to sign up to get our Action Alerts and Land Use Updates. Which is also a clever way to talk about one of the most important aspects of my job. Of all the information that comes into the public lands department, a lot of it needs to go back out to you, our members, so you are aware of that next Forest Service or BLM meeting, comment period, piece of legislation and what you need to do.
During our most recent fundraiser we asked you to answer a few questions when you sent back your return cards. The questions were about Sharetrails.Org/BRC's mission and about your recreating outside your home state. Along with that we also asked you to go online and take a brief 12 question survey with other questions dealing with land use and our alert system.
A couple of the questions dealt with where you recreate, your involvement in recreational access issues and how you get your information about these issues. The survey showed that most of you not only recreate in the state you live in but often recreate in other states. (This will be become more important later.)
Not surprisingly over 80 percent of you that took our survey are either somewhat or very involved in recreational access issues in your area. Knowing that the land use process is more often than not a multi-year process and takes time and commitment, we applaud your involvement and stand ready to help whenever possible.
What was a little surprising, was that only about 58 percent of you are signed up to receive our Action Alerts and Land Use Updates. With over 80 percent of you being involved with recreational access issues in your area and in neighboring states, it is important to get information from the agencies about land use planning, public meetings and comment periods by any means possible. Hence the need to sign up to receive alerts.
Sharetrails.Org/BRC's Action Alerts are free, easy to sign up for. One of the cool features of the system is that it allows our subscribers to select if they want to receive ALL of the alerts that we send out or just alerts specific to their STATE. It also allows you to select other STATES you may want to get alerts on. We also send out national alerts which go to all subscribers and usually involve information on land use issues or legislation on a national level, which could affect everyone.
It's important to know that the agencies send out information about planning, comment periods and public meetings by email, snail mail, media releases and articles in the local newspapers. On occasion we don't get any type of notification at all. This is when we rely on our members and subscribers to let us know of any planning efforts going on in their area. So feel free to send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Public Lands Department at 208-237-1008, ext. 2.
To sign up simply go to sharetrails.org/subscribe. Don't forget, for all those people that are on social media, you can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google+.

A Complete Home Physical
Even if you've looked in every nook and cranny of the home you want to buy, we at BOWES Real Living Real Estate believe it's crucial for you to protect yourself by having a home inspection conducted when you purchase a home. A professional assessment by a reputable home inspector could possibly uncover any problems (large or small), alerting you to any needed repairs and updates. With your BOWES Real Living Real Estate agent's help, you may even be able to negotiate for repair or replacement of items before the purchase is complete.
You'll have the opportunity to bring in a home inspector of your choosing once you've made your offer conditional upon a home inspection. The inspector will perform a comprehensive evaluation of the home and property, doing everything from testing outlets and faucets; to identifying signs of dampness, termites or carbon monoxide; to making sure walls are strong and windows are secure.
Hire an inspector you can count on
If you don't already have a particular inspector in mind, ask someone you trust for a reference. The inspection will cost several hundred dollars (actual cost depends on the size of the property and complexity of the report), so it's important that you feel confident about the person conducting it and the quality of his/her work. In fact, your BOWES Real Living Real Estate agent is a good resource for home inspection references, as he/she has undoubtedly worked with a number of quality inspectors.
It's best to schedule your home inspection during daylight hours. If possible, you and/or your BOWES Real Living Real Estate agent should attend; expect it to last from 2-4 hours, depending on the size of the home. And feel free to ask questions of the inspector - the more you know about your potential new home, the better.
Take care of repairs
The inspector should deliver a written report upon the completion of the home inspection. It's perfectly normal to have a handful of small issues that need attention or repair. Work with your BOWES Real Living Real Estate agent to decide which of these to ask the seller to handle or pay for, and which you'll handle yourself.
Here are a few sample repairs and their associated costs:
Remember there is no perfect home and even if your home inspector finds no serious problems, the inspection can pay off indirectly. In addition to identifying immediate-need repairs, you'll be alerted to future maintenance issues as well. It's always good to know up-front what to expect, and how much such repairs could cost.

Have You Noticed Something Missing in Tuscaloosa This March?
Okay, it's the weekend and the local forecast is a wet one, with lots of clouds and scattered rain. I say, fine with me! But, why? You may be surprised.
Sure, we would all prefer a nice, warm and sunny weekend. So, why would I think it's a good thing for a total washout with rain? It's simple. I'm not thinking about whether or not it's sunny, cloudy or rainy. Rather, I'm thankful for such a quiet month of March when it comes to severe weather.
If you've lived in the Tuscaloosa, Alabama area for awhile, you know this month marks the start of our spring severe weather season. As much as we love the area, we run the risk of having threatening severe thunderstorms and worse, destructive tornadoes.
Do you realize, as we move into the last week of the month, there hasn't been a single tornado or severe thunderstorm watch issued. Zero. What's even more surprising, there hasn't been a single tornado or severe thunderstorm watch issued in the United States this month. Really. The entire country, none. Zero. It's more than unusual, it has never happened before.
Greg Carbin, who serves as a warning coordination meteorologist for the Storm Prediction Center commented:
This has never happened in the record of SPC watches dating back to 1970. We are in uncharted territory with respect to lack of severe weather.
There is no one clear reason to explain the lack of tornadoes. We're in a persistent pattern that suppresses severe weather, and the right ingredients -- moisture, instability, and lift -- have not been brought together in any consistent way so far this year.
So, it may be a little wet this weekend around town, let's be thankful for the weather we really don't want. Look at the National Weather Service map below for the month of March. ZERO watches. Nice!
This weather chart plotting the frequency of Severe Thunderstorms and Tornado Warnings is a stunning sight, 2015 is far below years past.
This weather geek is amazed. It may be quiet, but we should always be prepared. See our Severe Weather Guide with lots of helpful tips.

Courtesy of the Naval Research Laboratory hide caption itoggle caption Courtesy of the Naval Research Laboratory As a young U.S. Army soldier during World War II, Rollins Edwards knew better than to refuse an assignment. When officers led him and a dozen others into a wooden gas chamber and locked the door, he didn't complain. "It felt like you were on fire," recalls Edwards, now 93 years old. This is Part 1 of a two-part investigation on mustard gas testing conducted by the U.S. military during World War II.

Articles. American and British English spelling differences. One of the ways in which American English and British English differ is in spelling.
Historical origins[edit] Extract from the Orthography section of the first edition (1828) of Webster's ADEL, the root of many American vs. British English differences: -re, -er (6); -our, -or (7); Dropped e (8); -or vs. -er (10); -ce, -se (11); doubling consonants with suffix (15) American medical text from 1814 showing the British English spellings still used at the time, such as "tumours", "colour", and "centres". In the early 18th century, English spelling was not standardised. Webster was a strong proponent of English spelling reform for reasons both philological and nationalistic. The spelling systems of most Commonwealth countries and Ireland, for the most part, closely resemble the British system. Latin-derived spellings[edit] Popularity of some of the spelling differences mentioned on the English Wikipedia as of March 2013. -our, -or[edit] Derivatives and inflected forms Exceptions.

Thats right, surprise!
I have actually been working on this and a pre-release version is now finished and available to download on the Chrome extension site. You can get it here: Perapera Chinese for Chrome Yes its only Chinese for now, and some features are missing, but let's not dwell on whats missing. The main functionality is there and the new themes as well. The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2013: 1-50. Run by the three Roca brothers, El Celler de Can Roca in Spain has replaced Noma atop the list of The World's 50 Best Restaurants The awards, sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, were announced tonight in a glittering ceremony held at London's famous Guildhall.
Restaurants in France and the US dominated the top 50 - each country has six representatives on the list – but the growing gastronomic influence of countries in South America and Asia is clear with new entries from a number of nations including China and Peru. However the top story from the night was undoubtedly the trio of Roca brothers knocking René Redzepi's Noma off its long-held number one spot. The same three UK restaurants which were present on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2012 were also the only British venues to make the top 50 this time around, however there was a change in positions.

From the get-go I knew it was going to be a busy day, so I pulled out my trusty Crockpot and started throwing in ingredients for taco soup. I got a recipe for taco soup from one of those neighborhood recipe exchanges years ago. I can't find it anymore, but I remember it was really simple - cooked ground beef, canned vegetables and beans with a taco seasoning packet in a slow cooker and you've got yourself some taco soup. I thought about that recipes as I rummaged through the fridge and pantry.
The taco soup I was making wouldn't involve quite so many cans, it may have taken a few extra minutes to slice vegetables and blend spices, but it would be gluten free, clean eating, healthy, and tasty.
"Clean eating" is a kind of a funny term for food if you think about it. I mean, I assume any edible product is made in a clean facility with proper sanitary regulations practiced. That's not what clean eating means though.
What is Clean Eating?
It means the food is as unprocessed as possible and free of artificial ingredients or production methods that drastically alter the original form (man-made, chemically altered, or genetically engineered/modified). In other words grown organically. This doesn't just mean that you stick with whole foods, but also that the source of your whole foods has been grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides, animals are grass-fed, free-range, and not given growth hormones or antibiotics. Our clean eating list also includes gluten free too.
In other words that packet of taco seasoning with it's preservatives and, yes, gluten fillers isn't clean eating.
Does that seem like a lot to remember to you too?
It did to me at first too. So I just started paying attention more to labels (something that I already did anyway when shopping for gluten free food). Here's my Clean Eating & Gluten Free Costco Shopping List to help narrow down some of the confusion at everyone's favorite warehouse store.
I made my taco soup for our meatless Monday meal, but you can add some ground beef to yours if you like.
1 lb. ground beef, opt. (organic, grass-fed)
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, cubed
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 cup frozen corn
2 - 1/2 cups soaked black beans (rinsed and drained) or 2- 15 oz. canned black beans, drained
1 - 15 oz. can organic diced tomatoes
1 cup salsa (homemade bottled, fresh, or store bought)
2-3 cups vegetable stock
1 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. ground Himalayan salt or sea salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
Cook ground beef in a skillet with onions and garlic until cooked through. While that cooks chop and prepare veggies, measure out spices, etc. If you're enjoying this soup meatless, then don't worry about precooking anything. Combine all ingredients a crockpot, stir, cover and set to low. Cook for 4-6 hours. Serve with corn chips and toppings.
Top it with any combo of:
sliced green onions
sliced black olives
lime juice
fresh cilantro
grated cheddar cheese

WATCH: Panic! At The Disco "This Is Gospel (Piano Version)"
Panic! At The Disco released a piano version and video for their song "This Is Gospel." Now, if you are expecting a sweet three and a half minute video of Brendon Urie playing the piano, then you obviously don't know P!ATD very well whatsoever.
Throughout the video various items, from confetti to barbecued chicken, fall from the sky landing on Urie and his white piano. It's a weird concept, and kind of distracts you from how beautiful this track is in a stripped down version. To really appreciate both the song and video, you should really play it twice – once while watching the video, and once just listening to the song.
You can watch the video after the jump.
P!ATD will be heading out on The Gospel Tour, with Walk The Moon, Magic Man, and Youngblood Hawke, beginning in July. You can buy concert tickets here.
You can purchase a CD here.

Recently, in order to make rational use of the Yangtze River coastline and strengthen the maintenance of the Yangtze River ecology and river safety, the Zhenjiang Municipal Government urgently needs high-resolution orthophotos within 500 meters of the Yangtze River, and superimposes it as an image base map and water conservancy thematic information... The project area starts from Jurong City Avenue in the west and west to Xilaiqiao Town in Yangzhong City. The ground resolution requirement is 8 cm.
A drone with a wingspan of 2.5 meters rises slowly on the beach on the banks of the Yangtze River. This is a vertical takeoff and landing drone built for aerial surveying- MMC's'GRIFLION M8. This drone combines the advantages of multiple rotors and fixed wings: flexible take-off and landing, limited by the environment; fast flight speed, long battery life, can be equipped with high-definition cameras; with RTK+PPK system, one button At the same time of accurate take-off and landing, it meets the requirements of high-precision drawing.
Before taking off, the flying hand has uploaded the carefully planned route to the drone. According to the 8 cm resolution requested by the customer, the aerial overlap ratio is set to 75% of the heading, 70% of the sideways, and a total of 41 flying frames. After about an hour, thanks to the RTK centimeter positioning, the plane finally landed at the takeoff point. After a simple equipment inspection and disassembly work, the flying hand drove to the next takeoff point.
During the flight operation of the drone, there are often 6-7 winds and heavy rains. The Corbett mapping team completed the 400-square-kilometer flight in just 15 days, acquiring more than 21,000 high-quality drone images with an image resolution of 42 million pixels. Finally, the staff imported the data into the Pix4Dmapper for processing, and stitched all the scattered drone data into a continuous, standardized, measurable image map. It provides reliable information for the government to fully understand the development and utilization of the Yangtze River coastline.

Pangea Pham The Pangea Project
Published Aug 14, 2007As hard as it is to deliver original themes on hip-hop these days, once you add generic thug raps to the mix, well, a wing and a prayer are about all you have left. On The Pangea Project, Bostons five-member Pangea Pham attempt to break through with an inclusive approach that reaches out to both stereotypically "street and "underground enclaves, with the individual personality of each integrant finding room to shine on their specific tracks. The record starts out on solid ground with scowling synth clapper "Why We Out Here, followed by crewmember Tystormzs waste-laying attack on misguided thugs on the grimy "Slide. Focused storylines save the brief mid-record club excursions, while the sheer breadth of rhythmic attacks bouncy and double time on the Ludacris-style "Ridin, using soul hooks and head-nodding beats on "Look What Youve keeps this album interesting when the mediocre lyrics wear thin. If nothing else, it shows that sometimes both are better than this or that in the often-divisive hip-hop game. (Acuta)

FORGET Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and glittering Hollywood award ceremonies.
Another 'Oscars' battle is heating up and one of the finalists is a lot closer to home. Snoutwood Trotters at Laburnum Farm in Great Sankey has made it into the final of the Countryside Alliance Awards. Known as the 'Rural Oscars', Liam Tickle and Rebecca Scott, who run the pork farm, are one of just four finalists in the food and drink category for the north.
The couple started out with two Gloucester Old Spot pigs, Salt and Pepper, in 2009. Today they regularly produce their own litters of the rare breed pigs, which are outdoor reared.
Rebecca said: "We are both completely overwhelmed – it feels fantastic to have been nominated and recognised for what we do in Warrington."
The couple will find out in mid February if they have won in their category and will be invited to an awards ceremony in London at the House of Lords in March.
Rebecca, a former St Gregory's High School pupil, added: "To be a regional finalist is already an outstanding achievement for us both, but to go to the next level in the competition would be so rewarding. The awards exist to give rural businesses a voice and it would be a great way to put our area on the map. Many of the finalists are third, fourth and fifth generation farmers, so for us to be competing as first generation farmers from such urban backgrounds, learning from scratch, is unreal."
Snoutwood Trotters, which had more than 40 nominations for the awards, went from being a hobby to a business quickly after Liam asked for 'pigs' for his 21st birthday present from Rebecca's dad Walter.
Liam, a former Penketh High School student, added: "I enjoyed natural history and always enjoyed cooking, but at no point was farming a possibility until I met Bec. We had been watching a few TV shows including Jimmy's Farm which inspired us to research the idea further. It looked like something we would thoroughly enjoy doing so off we rushed for two pigs."
Liam was told that providing he fenced the land and built a suitable shelter he could keep the pigs in a spare bit of woodland that Walter owned for his horses.
Rebecca, 26, said: "I always knew that Liam was up for new challenges but I definitely didn't expect him to suggest pigs as a 21st birthday present. I thought he was mad, but I am so glad he suggested it as now I cannot imagine life without them."
Now the couple have between 70 and 100 pigs at any one time. They started selling pork from a tiny fridge in a gazebo at the front of the farm in 2011 but since then the business has grown significantly with a log cabin shop built in 2014. Sales are currently fortnightly.
Liam, 27, who balances his time between Snoutwood Trotters and full time work as a mobile engineer, said: "We used to have queues down the road when we were selling less meat, but as we have increased our herd we have coped with demand a lot better.
"It gives us an opportunity to have chats with our customers over a cup of tea, and offer them pig tours. It feels great to have support from our customer base who have pushed us to keep going."
Rebecca added: "The best part of the job is waking up on a Sunday morning, putting on our wellies and spending a full day on the farm together. There's no better feeling in the world.
"Having our 55 stone boar, Bruno, helps us to stand out. Selectively breeding our sows that now stretch back four generations on some of our lines, we have really pushed the breeding of our Gloucester Old Spots to become some of the best out there. To have achieved this in such a short space of time with no previous experience of pigs whatsoever is remarkable."
DAVID Morgan

Laptops are so much cheaper now than they used to be, so it is much easier to buy one to use for occasions when your desk PC is not convenient. Even using a laptop in a different room in the house can be helpful, for example if you want to check your emails at the same time as a good TV programme is on, or when you want to be spending time with the family as well.
A laptop is also useful for children doing their homework as they can bring the laptop into the room where you are so you can keep an eye on what they are doing and answer any questions they have. However, with all this sharing and carrying the laptop around the home, there is the possibility of some damage occuring to your laptop – especially where children are concerned. Loose or lost keys on a laptop keyboard can become really annoying because it interrupts the flow of your work every time you come to the missing key.
Here at Laptop Power we can supply you with laptop parts to replace the damaged section of your laptop. We have laptop parts to be compatible with most brands so you will be able to find what you need for your laptop.
Life is easier when you know that you can continue to use your laptop in a way that is convenient for you and your family, with the knowledge that should it become broken, you can get the replacement laptop parts that you need.

3151445km by the misanthrope specialty co.
driving back from austria yesterday, i was really focused on the cars on the highway - checking out every station wagon that passed us. i am wracked with nerves and guilt over finding a new car and disposing of my old one (that latter deed is done). i feel like i let boris down and am having a really confused time figuring out my feelings towards what amounts to a bunch of metal. i think some of this examination speaks to a greater relationship with stuff. it's a field of exploration that i often find myself in. after all, i am in the business of making things. i hope they are things that will last, be useful and/or enrich the psychic space of those around them, but they are still objects, material. i do know deal in transcendental awakenings. well, not that i know of, anyway.
my friend sarah recently mentioned me in a post she wrote about similar issues of stuff, repair and quality. i am happy to find compatriots in this material-based confusion. i don't feel much closer to any awakening, but it is nice to know that other people are plumbing these same murky depths.
but back to boris, i still cry whenever i think of him. like now. i cry like he was a friend i have lost. worse, still, i had to made the call to terminate our relationship. it feels obscene to spend time embroiled in such angst over a material object when the world is filled with people struggling through real life and death challenges daily.
still, when i told mike (a dear friend and car enthusiast who helped me retire boris while i was in europe) about my shameful weeping, he had this to say:
thank you, mike, for understanding my feelings possibly more than i do and for being unapologetic about them. none of it is making me less of a materialist, i guess, but it sure makes me feel better.I'm glad Boris spent the night at our place and that I had the solemn charge of making sure he went away with dignity.When the man picked him up he parked out front and asked me to drive it out from the back. I rolled the window down to let him know that he'd have to get in through the passenger side and he stopped me when I went to roll it back up saying no to worry about it.It was raining that day. I did not leave it down.
feel free to call me opulent or share your own feelings about material emotions below.

The use in dicamba-tolerant crops is only allowed in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida (excluding Palm Beach County), Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee (excluding Wilson County), Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
Additional state restrictions and requirements may apply. The applicator must comply with any additional state requirements and restrictions.
Engenia can be used in specific field and row crops, fallow and postharvest croplands, and sod farms. Engenia does not control grass weeds and must be used sequentially or tank mixed with a grass herbicide for a complete weed control program. See Tank Mixing Information section for important information on herbicide tank mixes or Crop-specific Information section(s) for recommendations on sequential programs.
Product Stewardship Practices
- Apply Engenia herbicide to weeds 4 inches or less in size for best performance.
- Apply Engenia at the labeled rate to minimize the likelihood of weed resistance occurring. DO NOT apply at less than the labeled rate. See Crop-specific Information for labeled rates by crop.
- Use Engenia as part of a herbicide program that includes the use of residual herbicides and herbicides with alternate sites of action to reduce resistance selection pressure.
- Select only EPA-approved nozzles that produce extremely coarse to ultra-coarse spray droplets. See www.engeniatankmix.com for the list of nozzles approved for use with this product.
- Maintain boom height 24 inches or less from target.
- Identify areas of sensitive nontarget crops/plants and maintain proper setback distance from these areas (see Treatment Zone Awareness and Buffer Requirements (Sensitive Areas, Sensitive Crops and Residential Areas) section for Spray Buffer requirements).
Sensitive crops in agricultural and/or residential settings can include, but are not limited to:
- non-DT soybeans
- cucumber and melons (EPA Crop Group 9)
- flowers
- fruit trees
- grapes
- ornamentals including greenhouse-grown and shade house-grown broadleaf plants
- peanuts
- peas and beans (EPA Crop Group 6)
- peppers, tomatoes, and other fruiting vegetables (EPA Crop Group 8)
- potato
- sweet potato
- tobacco
- Thoroughly clean spray equipment before and after application.
Mode of Action
Dicamba, the active ingredient in Engenia, is a Group 4 (WSSA) herbicide. Herbicides in this group mimic auxin (a plant hormone) resulting in a hormone imbalance in sensitive plants that interferes with normal plant growth (e.g. cell division, cell enlargement, and protein synthesis). Engenia is readily absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots; translocates throughout the plant; and accumulates in areas of active growth to provide postemergence control of emerged weeds as well as moderate residual control of germinating weed seeds.
Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4 herbicides. Weeds resistant to Group 4 herbicides may be effectively managed using herbicide(s) from a different group and/or by using cultural or mechanical practices. Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species at www.EngeniaQuestions.com. Consult your local BASF representative, state cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds. Additional information about weeds which are known to be resistant to dicamba can be found at www.Resistance-Information.BASF.US.
Resistance Management
While weed resistance to Group 4 herbicides is infrequent, populations of resistant biotypes are known to exist. Resistance management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates multiple options including chemical, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics. Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement, optimum seeding rate/row spacing, and timely tillage.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, the following steps should be followed where practical:
- Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbicide program.
- DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed control during the growing season.
- Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present.
- Apply full labeled rates of Engenia for the most difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes. See Crop-specific Information for labeled rates by crop.
- Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended to reduce early season weed competition and allow for more timely in-crop postemergence herbicide applications.
- Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of action more than twice a season.
- Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in weed species.
- Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
- Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your BASF retailer, representative or online at www.EngeniaQuestions.com.
- If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a herbicide having a mode of action other than Group 4 and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as is practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
- For more information about weeds that are known to be resistant to dicamba go to www.Resistance-Information.BASF.US.
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
- Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other modes of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
- Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative modes of action.
- Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 4 herbicides.
- Avoid making more than two applications of Engenia herbicide and any other Group 4 herbicides within a single growing season unless mixed with another mechanism of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
- Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
- Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before and after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
- Manage weeds in and around fields during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
- Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further guidance on weed control practices as needed.
Crop Tolerance
Crops growing under normal environmental conditions are tolerant to Engenia when applied according to label directions. Crop injury may occur under stressful growing conditions (e.g. low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, drought).
Application Instructions
Apply Engenia by ground to actively growing weeds as a band, broadcast, or spot spray application for postemergence control of emerged weeds as well as moderate residual control of germinating weed seeds. Make postemergence applications of Engenia when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing. An adjuvant is recommended with Engenia for best postemergence activity; refer to Tank Mixing Information section and Crop-specific Information sections for details. Postemergence activity may be slowed or reduced under cloudy and/ or foggy or cooler weather conditions, or when weeds are growing under drought or other stress conditions. When targeting dense weed populations and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use higher spray volumes and a higher application rate within an application rate range.
Cultivation should be delayed until 7 days after applying Engenia or a reduction in weed control may occur. Use extreme care when applying Engenia to prevent injury to desirable plants. Engenia may cause injury to desirable sensitive plants when contacting their roots, stems, or foliage.
Application Methods and Equipment
Apply Engenia by ground. Thorough spray coverage is important for best broadleaf weed control and can be improved with adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume selection. Calibrate application equipment for accurate target spray volume and application rate to ensure uniform distribution of spray and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas. Adjust equipment to maintain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above the labeled use rates. Engenia herbicide may be applied using water; consult crop specific information sections of this label for other spray carrier options.
Ground Application
Banding Applications
When applying Engenia by banding, use the formula given in the label to calculate the amount of herbicide and water volume needed
Broadcast Applications
Unless noted in the crop-specific information section, use a spray volume of 15 gallons of water or more per treated acre. Thorough coverage of existing vegetation is essential for postemergence applications; higher spray volumes may be necessary for optimum performance.
Wiper Applications
Engenia may be applied through wiper application equipment to control or suppress actively growing broadleaf weeds, brush, and vines. Use a 50% solution containing 1 part Engenia to 1 part water.
- DO NOT apply more than 12.8 fl ozs/A of Engenia [0.5 lb dicamba acid equivalent (ae) per acre] per application.
- DO NOT contact desirable vegetation with herbicide solution. Wiper application may be made to crops (including pastures) and noncropland areas described in this label.
EXCEPTION: DO NOT use wiper application on non-dicamba-tolerant cotton or soybean.
Use Precautions
- Maximum Seasonal Use Rate - Refer to crop-specific information sections for maximum seasonal application rates for each crop or use pattern.
- Stress - Application to crops under stress because of lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbicide injury, mechanical injury, or widely fluctuating temperatures may result in crop injury.
- Rainfast Period - Engenia is rainfast 4 hours after application. Postemergence activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation occurs within 4 hours of application.
Use Restrictions
Applicator MUST ALSO follow restrictions under Crop-specific Information section(s).
- DO NOT apply this product aerially.
- DO NOT apply Engenia with ammonium-containing additives, conditioners, or fertilizers (e.g. AMS, UAN). Small quantities of AMS can greatly increase the volatility potential of dicamba.
- DO NOT apply Engenia if expected rainfall amount may exceed soil field capacity and result in soil runoff in the next 24 hours.
- DO NOT apply Engenia if wind speed is less than 3 mph or greater than 10 mph.
- DO NOT apply Engenia at night. DO NOT apply earlier than one hour after sunrise or later than two hours before sunset.
- DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes.
- DO NOT apply Engenia through any type of irrigation system (e.g. chemigation).
- DO NOT tank mix Engenia with LorsbanR insecticide.
- In DT cotton, DO NOT apply Engenia later than 60 days after planting or mid-bloom, whichever comes first.
- In DT soybeans, DO NOT apply Engenia later than 45 days after planting or R1, whichever comes first.
Crop Rotation Restrictions
Use the following information to determine the required interval between Engenia herbicide application and rotational crop planting as well as replanting after crop failure because of environmental factors such as drought, frost, or hail. Determine the rotational crop interval for tank mix products and use the most restrictive interval of all products applied.
Cut-surface Treatment
Engenia may be applied as a cut-surface treatment for control of unwanted trees and prevention of sprouts of cut trees. Mix 1 part Engenia with 1 to 3 parts water to create the application solution. Use the lower dilution rate when treating difficult-to-control species.
- Frill or Girdle Treatment - Using an axe to girdle tree trunk, make a continuous cut or a series of overlapping cuts. Spray or paint the cut surface with the solution.
- Stump Treatment - Spray or paint freshly cut surface with the water mix. Thoroughly wet the area adjacent to the bark.

Amma Theodora said, 'Let us strive to enter by the narrow gate, Just as the trees, if they have not stood before the winter's storms cannot bear fruit, so it is with us; this present age is a storm and it is only through many trials and temptations that we can obtain an inheritance in the kingdom of heaven.' The same amma said that a teacher ought to be a stranger to the desire for domination, vain-glory, and pride; one should not be able to fool him by flattery, nor blind him by gifts, nor conquer him by the stomach, nor dominate him by anger; but he should be patient, gentle and humble as far as possible; he must be tested and without partisanship, full of concern, and a lover of souls. She also said that neither asceticism, nor vigils nor any kind of suffering are able to save, only true humility can do so.

A wise man associating with the vicious becomes an idiot; a dog traveling with good men becomes a rational being.
"Sure, we'd faced some things as children that a lot of kids don't. Sure, Justin had qualified for his Junior de Sade Badge in his teaching methods for dealing with pain. We still hadn't learned, though, that growing up is all about getting hurt. And then getting over it. You hurt. You recover. You move on. Odds are pretty good you're just going to get hurt again. But each time, you learn something.
Each time, you come out of it a little stronger, and at some point you realize that there are more flavors of pain than coffee. There's the little empty pain of leaving something behind – gradutaing, taking the next step forward, walking out of something familiar and safe into the unknown. There's the big, whirling pain of life upending all of your plans and expecations. There's the sharp little pains of failure, and the more obscure aches of successes that didn't give you what you thought they would. There are the vicious, stabbing pains of hopes being torn up. The sweet little pains of finding others, giving them your love, and taking joy in their life they grow and learn. There's the steady pain of empathy that you shrug off so you can stand beside a wounded friend and help them bear their burdens.
And if you're very, very lucky, there are a very few blazing hot little pains you feel when you realized that you are standing in a moment of utter perfection, an instant of triumph, or happiness, or mirth which at the same time cannot possibly last – and yet will remain with you for life.
Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it.
Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it's a big part, and sometimes it isn't, but either way, it's a part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you're alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another."
― Jim Butcher
It has been a bad season (year), like a frog being in hot water. Hausa.
Wind by Ali Cobby Eckermann
she sits on a rocky ledge
overlooking frog song
puncturing a choked river
at dusk
it is only here native birds sing
their evening lullaby
echoed between red banks
overgrown with weeds
it's like life slips away in the evening
a resounding of Salientia castanets
soon to fall silent
like flaking moss
she listens for earth song
under the algae and foreign reeds
and just as darkness falls
a fish jumps rippling memory
May every old fairy, from Cork to Dunleary, Dip him snug and airy in river or lake, Where the eel and the trout may feed on the snout Of the monster that murdered Neill Falheerty's drake
Airy, Fairy Lilian,
Flitting, fairy Lilian,
When I ask her if she love me,
Claps her tiny hands above me,
Laughing all she can;
She 'll not tell me if she love me,
Cruel little Lilian.
When my passion seeks
Pleasance in love-sighs,
She, looking thro' and thro' me
Thoroughly to undo me,
Smiling, never speaks:
So innocent-arch, so cunning-simple,
From beneath her gathered wimple
Glancing with black-bearded eyes,
Till the lightning laughters dimple
The baby-roses in her cheeks;
Then away she flies.
Prythee weep, May Lilian!
Gaiety without eclipse
Whearieth me,
May Lilian;
Thro' my every heart it thrilleth
When from crimson-threaded lips
Silver-treble laughter trilleth:
Prythee weep,
May Lilian!
Praying all I can,
If prayers will not hush thee, Airy Lilian,
Like a rose-leaf I will crush thee, Fairy Lilian.
Lord Tennyson

"The sea was cruel and selfish as human beings, and in its monstrous simplicity had no notion of complexities like pity, wounding, or remorse… You could see yourself in it… while the wind, the light, the swaying, the sound of the water on the hull worked the miracle of distancing, calming you until you didn't hurt anymore, erasing any pity, any wound, and any remorse."

"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them."

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is your school calendar?
The Academic School year runs from the end of August through June. Please see the academic calendar.
- What are your school hours?
The school opens at 7:50am and classes start at 8:10am. The school day ends at 2:35pm for Lower School and 3:30pm for Secondary. Extracurricular activities run from 2:45pm to 3:30pm for Lower School and from 3:30pm to 4:30pm for Secondary.
- Do the students wear a uniform?
Students should wear regular clothing for normal school lessons and proper shoes (shoes without adequate protection for feet are not acceptable). We require a Physical Education (PE) uniform which can be purchased at school. Primary students wear their uniforms to school on the day they have PE classes. Secondary students change into their PE uniforms before PE classes. The student's name should be clearly marked on their PE uniform.
Children who enter the Early Years Programme are expected to wear clothing that enables them to manage their own toileting i.e. no jeans/belts that they themselves cannot fasten and unfasten. We consider it important for the children to be independent in terms of these appropriate skills for their age. Children in Early Years are expected to wear soft-soled, closed-toe shoes and suitable clothing for Physical Education and play every day.
Please see the Dress Code for further guidelines on appropriate clothing.
- Does the school have food service?
Students can bring their own lunch and snacks to school. They are expected to bring their food container, the water bottle and re-usable cutlery clearly labeled with their name.
School also offers food service. All meals are cooked on-site. Parents may order lunch from a limited menu in the cafeteria. A lunch time supervisor collects the containers and takes them to the appropriate eating area (only for Lower School students).
The Early Years students are expected to eat and drink independently, having acquired the basic skills at home.
ISH has a cashless cafeteria system. Parents make a deposit in the Finance Office and the amount of the purchase will be debited from the student´s account. Email updates on your balance will be provided each week that you make purchases.
- Does the school have transportation service?
ISH provides a transport service to safely drop off and pick up students. Parents need to register by completing the appropriate form in the main office. Please note that the transport service is available only to the pre-determined areas and on routes that can reasonably be justified in terms of cost and time. It may, at times, not be possible to provide transportation for some students. For Transportation Fees, please check the Financial Information.
- Does the school offer extracurricular activities?
Extracurricular activities are offered to the children, from 2:45pm to 3:30pm for Lower School and from 3:30pm to 4:30pm for Secondary. They include ceramics, arts and crafts, ballet, sports, chess, taekwondo, fun games, computer games, among others. They are headed either by internal or external teachers. There are two extracurricular sessions that roughly correspond to the two semesters of the school year: one from September to January and the other from February to June.
