Flights to New Zealand with Qatar Airways
The wealthy nation of New Zealand is on just about everyone's wish list of top places to see, and when you travel to New Zealand with Qatar Airways you'll soon see why these beautiful islands are so popular. From spectacular mountain ranges and vistas of wild and pristine countryside to high art and culture in world-class cities, New Zealand makes an exceptional travel destination.
Christchurch and Auckland are the two most popular cities with tourists. Nicknamed as the City of Sails, Auckland in particular is full of interest, and a home to a range set of cuisines. The city has an exciting café culture and is popular for its beach life and golfing holidays.
A little further out you'll find the Bay of Islands, a haven for water sports. Enjoy some diving, kayaking or snorkelling, or venture out to some of the nearby cities and learn more about Maori culture. In these cities you'll find a range of trendy cafés, restaurants, art galleries and recreational reserves.
In many ways, New Zealand is like a giant adventure playground centred around outdoor sports and activities. There's a huge range of opportunities for skiing, kayaking, trekking and cycling in this extremely diverse landscape. New Zealand's forests, snow-capped mountains and dramatic coastlines are home to thousands of species of plants and animals, and natural features like geysers draw the visitors all year round.
The stamp of British culture is still evident everywhere in New Zealand, but many other cultural groups are represented here too, including indigenous Maoris and different European nationalities. The country is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan even now, as new waves of immigrants arrive from the Pacific islands and Asia.

Denmark is the home of Mærsk, the world´s largest container shipping company
The European Union has taken (too) tough measures against CO2 emissions from cars, trucks and airplanes. But why has the EU been so passive with regard to emissions from ships (with estimated 5% of global greenhouse gases, and double the carbon pollution from aviation.)?
The key person for keeping shipping out of the CO2 emissions controls is the Climate Action Commissioner from Denmark, Connie Hedegaard. That is why the New Europe Magazine
recently sent an open letter to the commissioner:
There is something rotten in the Kingdom of "Denmark," indeed, dear Commissioner, and in this case Denmark stands for certain Commission services responsible for CLIMA and MOVE. Otherwise, how can one explain that in legislating for the CO2 emissions tax on maritime transport, the Commission assigned the issue to the International Maritime Organization, IMO, while refusing to assign the same issue in aviation to the corresponding International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)?
As a consequence, aviation (which counts for 1.6% of global emissions) will be taxed as of 1 January 2012 while shipping (responsible for 2.7% of total emissions), God knows when will be taxed, if ever, certainly not before 2050 (according to your Communication COM (2011) 112).
The result of this situation, dear Commissioner, is that the EU budget is losing millions every day, which it will never recover, while you fail to exert any kind of control over an industry, which systematically and heavily pollutes the EU and the world. "Intellectually speaking" dear Commissioner, someone under your nose, has granted preferential treatment to the shipping industry with several billion Euros lost to the Community and Member States budgets every year.
Hedegaard has lately been speaking about a "possible" EU level proposal in case the IMO does not come up with a solution:
In a statement on 28 June, Climate Action Commissioner Connie Hedegaard said it was "high time" for an agreement with the IMO.
"Much as we prefer a global solution, the member states and the European Parliament have asked the Commission to present a possible proposal to reduce shipping emissions for 2012 in the case the IMO fails to find a solution," she said.
Not very strong words, from this lady, who always has been demanding strong action against all kind of "polluters".
Could it be that there really is something rotten in the Kingdom of Denmark, as New Europe thinks?
Before trying to answer the question, it may be useful to know that Mrs. Hedegaard´s native country is the home of Mærsk, the world's largest container shipping company.

Age: 23 (Sept. 20)
Height: 6'2" Weight: 230
Nobis, a two-time All-American and winner of the 1965 Outland Trophy, was the first overall selection by the expansion Falcons in the '66 NFL draft and received a large bonus to keep him away from the Houston Oilers of the rival AFL, who also took him in the first round. He became the centerpiece of the new club's defense, moving directly into the starting lineup at middle linebacker.
1966 Season Summary
Appeared in all 14 games
(Bracketed numbers indicate league rank in Top 20)
Sacks – N/A
Interceptions – 0
Fumble recoveries – 1
Awards & Honors:
NFL Rookie of the Year: NEA, Sporting News
Pro Bowl
Falcons went 3-11 to finish seventh in the NFL Eastern Conference.
Nobis followed up his noteworthy rookie season by achieving first-team All-Pro honors in 1967 from the Associated Press and New York Daily News as well as a second Pro Bowl selection. He was again a Pro Bowl selection in '68, along with being a consensus second-team All-Pro, but knee injuries cost him most of the 1969 and '71 seasons. When healthy, he was still a premier linebacker and was selected to two more Pro Bowls, following 1970 and '72. Nobis played through 1976, a total of 11 years and 133 games, and ended up with 12 interceptions – two of which he returned for touchdowns – 13 fumble recoveries, and five Pro Bowl selections while playing for a team that never reached the postseason. The Falcons retired his #60.
Rookie of the Year Profiles feature players who were named Rookie of the Year in the NFL (including NFC/AFC), AFL (1960-69), or USFL (1983-85) by a recognized organization (Associated Press – Offense or Defense, Newspaper Enterprise Association, United Press International, The Sporting News, or the league itself – Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year).

Rochester receives an average of 31 inches of rain and 44 inches of snow each year. Rain and snowmelt that falls on buildings, streets, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces cannot soak into the ground. Instead, this stormwater will run off the landscape into area waterways.
Stormwater runoff does not go to the Water Reclamation Plant for treatment - rather, it runs to our rivers, lakes and streams, often without treatment. As stormwater moves across the landscape, it collects dirt, debris, and chemicals. This pollution is carried through storm sewers and ditches to our waterways. Untreated stormwater can be harmful to people and aquatic plants and animals. Your actions on the land have a great impact on the quality of our surface waters. Clean streets means clean streams!
As our community grows, so must or commitment to protecting and improving the quality of our water resources. Our lakes, rivers, and wetlands help make Rochester one of the nations' most livable communities. Keeping our water resources clean and usable is in everyone's interest.

A Chicago bus passenger found a gun on a seat early Wednesday morning, mistook it for a toy and accidentally fired it, grazing a woman nearby, police say.
The 45-year-old man found the small gun on the #47 CTA bus southbound on West 47th Street at South Kildare Avenue, in the Archer Heights neighborhood on Chicago's Southwest Side, around 6:30 a.m., according to police and CTA officials.
He thought the gun was a toy or lighter and picked it up, and it discharged, police said. A bullet struck a vent under the row of seats, and a fragment struck a 47-year-old woman in the left thigh.
Police said the bullet did not go through the woman's skin or clothing, and she declined transport to a hospital.
Police said no charges will be filed, and the incident has been deemed an accident. Officials are trying to track down the owner of the gun.

Snapshots from South Korea: The Best Things I Ate in Busan
On a recent trip to Busan, South Korea, I planned my days around the food. Since it'd been about six years since my previous visit, my old favorites were a must, and a few new dishes were squeezed in where time allowed.
Busan, being a port town, has a cuisine that's strongly focused around seafood, plus starchy snacks and vegetables; and with a large Korean-born-Chinese population, it also presents Chinese-Korean dishes with distinct flavors, some of which were etched in my food memory from my last visit. (I have yet to find a jjajangmyeon and jjampong in the U.S. that can match the ones in South Korea).
From street eats to restaurant classics, here are some of the best things I ate (and a few photos that were just too good-looking to leave out).

Today was a great day. I'm still managing really, really well. The only thing that freakin' KILLS me is to cough! Ugh, it feels like I'm getting stabbed in the stomache for real. Everything else is fine though. I can get up and down by myself from my recliner and the toilet. I sit at the table to eat my meals. I made myself a bowl of soup and grabbed my own snacks. I am managing very well. I have taken pictures, and edited them, and have them all read for posting. I am still going to wait until Tuesday though, when I get these bandages off and have more to show. Then I've decided to post them to a private, password protected blog. I will share that password with those of you whom request the info from me. I will not be setting this blog to private. It is helpful to too many people and I don't want to take that away.

SPOILERS: Seriously, if you haven't seen Guardians yet do not read until you have.
Guardians was very fast and entertaining. So fast that I didn't have time to consume a lot of the little nods and easter eggs that were left for Marvel fans scattered throughout the movie. I'm just now slowly going through threads and gathering info about all the background minutiae.
The screenshot you are seeing above is from Thor: The Dark World. In the post credits scene we get our first intro to the Guardians universe and the space Liberace lair of The Collector, an obscure and ancient character in the Marvel universe. Notable in this scene is the gooey cocoon above. If the internet is correct, and by gosh everything on the internet is always correct, the above cocoon contains the regenerating form of Adam Warlock.
I've known about Adam Warlock since the seventies and always appreciate when Marvel gives due to some of the older Silver Age characters. I have no idea how far this is going to go or if Marvel is going to pursue this at all, but supposedly during Guardians of the Galaxy you can see the broken, open cocoon. I am unsure if this is during the post credits scene or during the movie. I'm looking for more photo evidence now.
Adam is significant because he possesses one of the Infinity gems that Thanos is looking for, specifically the Soul Gem. For those unfamiliar with the infinity gem saga this is what I expect the plot of Avengers 3 will be about, with the Infinity gems being at least part of the plot for every Marvel movie going forward. If anyone can confirm this, give me a shout or feel free to discuss it on our Facebook page.
Bonus: The Marvel Cinematic Universe lore is getting so dense it is difficult to predict where they are going to go. Here is a nice little pic of Adam Warlock from the animated Planet Hulk feature.
The Guardians make a couple of cameos in this feature as well. Significantly one of the main alien races in Guardians of the Galaxy were the Sakaarans, from the planet Sakaar, which is the setting for Planet Hulk.

|Chapter 44. libpq
Postgres supports asynchronous notification via the LISTEN and NOTIFY commands. A backend registers its interest in a particular relation with the LISTEN command. All backends listening on a particular relation will be notified asynchronously when a NOTIFY of that relation name is executed by another backend. No additional information is passed from the notifier to the listener. Thus, typically, any actual data that needs to be communicated is transferred through the relation. libpq applications are notified whenever a connected backend has received an asynchronous notification. However, the communication from the backend to the frontend is not asynchronous. Notification comes piggy-backed on other query results. Thus, an application must submit queries, even empty ones, in order to receive notice of backend notification. In effect, the libpq application must poll the backend to see if there is any pending notification information. After the execution of a query, a frontend may call PQNotifies to see if any notification data is available from the backend.
PQNotifies returns the notification from a list of unhandled notifications from the backend. Returns NULL if there are no pending notifications from the backend. PQNotifies behaves like the popping of a stack. Once a notification is returned from PQnotifies, it is considered handled and will be removed from the list of notifications.
PGnotify* PQNotifies(PGconn *conn);The second sample program gives an example of the use of asynchronous notification.

This is ridiculous. Whatever your thoughts on decorum in baseball or whatever, one of the games best players should not be getting thrown out of the game in the first inning. Maybe if he spit on the ump. Maybe.
But that's exactly what happened here when Miguel Cabrera argued too vociferously, in Brian Gorman's estimation, that he did not swing at a pitch that hit him in the knee that was clearly causing him discomfort.
Gorman tossed him and then he tossed Jim Leyland, who came out to advocate for his player. It was the second time these two teamed up for a double-ejection like this. Enjoy the remaining eight innings of not watching Miguel Cabrera play baseball, everyone.

If you've made another recipe that called for Garlic Mayonnaise and happen to have some left over in the refrigerator, a dollop of it on the plate makes a delicious addition to this hearty, rustic dish.
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed
- 4 sweet or spicy Italian pork sausages (preferably flavored with fennel; about 3/4 pound)
- 16 large whole radicchio leaves
- 16 small jarred onions, quartered (about 4 ounces or 1 cup)
- 2 large garlic cloves, grated or minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- Kosher salt
- 2 15-ounce cans giant white beans, rinsed and drained (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- High-quality extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the oil's almost smoking (you will begin to smell the oil at that point).
- Add the sausages and cook, turning them often for even browning, for about 10 minutes, until they're browned all over but not cooked through.
- Move the sausages to the side of the skillet to continue to cook while you sear the radicchio.
- Put a couple of radicchio leaves in the skillet in a single layer and cook them for about 45 seconds on each side, until they're seared and wilted slightly.
- Remove the leaves to a plate and cook the remaining leaves in the same way, adding a bit more oil to the pan if it's dry.
- While you sear the radicchio leaves, continue to cook and turn the sausages for another 10 minutes, until they're cooked through, and transfer them to a plate when they're done.
- Add a bit more olive oil if necessary to coat the skillet.
- Add the onions, garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt and sauté for about 1 1/2 minutes, until the onions are soft and the garlic is soft and fragrant, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn't brown. Reduce the heat to medium, add the beans and broth, and simmer them until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the oregano and season with kosher salt.
- Arrange four radicchio leaves in a clover pattern on each of four plates.
- Spoon the beans over the radicchio, dividing them evenly, and drizzle them with the sauce left in the skillet.

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,Sepia Saturday contributers will tell, but I may be able to make a claim as the closest follower of Alan's theme this week. I believe this young lady, pictured in an unnamed 4¼" x 3¼" paper print from c.1910-1914, and doing her best to ignore the persistently annoying younger brother still in nappies, is well into her training for a career to be spent astride ponies of the inanimate kind. Judging by her apparent age, she may even be the same curly-headed young Queenslander who later caught the roving eye of that wheeled toy horse in 1937.
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
And she shall have music wherever she goes.
Here, however, she is less concerned with pretending any skill at polo or other frivolous pursuits. It is clear that she is determined to ride her steed through the jungle ahead, but is just starting to appreciate the importance of an unexpected photo opportunity. For more of those captured moments presented by a squad of sepia sycophants, check out Sepia Saturday's offerings.

Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg Bake Brownies, Rap Together
Fish, meet barrel. When Snoop Dogg visits The Martha Stewart Show, of course the plan is to bake brownies together, just to set up a pot joke. Says Snoop Dogg, "Trying to make some brownies, but we're missing the most important part of the brownies." Martha replies "You want green brownies... the greener the better" And then they break into an awkward rap. Martha Stewart is street!

Back in 2005 Leeds four-piece This Et Al were setting tongues wagging and limbs flapping with their experimental rock that evoked comparisons with artists as varied as Queens Of The Stone Age, My Bloody Valentine and Kate Bush; see this review for proof.
When their debut album Baby Machine dropped a year later, to even more rapturous reviews, it seemed they would go on to even greater things, following in the footsteps of fellow townsfolk ¡Forward, Russia! and iLiKETRAiNS. But not a lot followed, until now: This Et Al are back with new EP Figure Eight, released via On The Bone.
DiS caught up with frontman Wu to discuss the past and the present, and how both will hopefully conspire towards his band's success in the future.
Video: 'Figure Eight'
- - -
It's been a long time since we last heard from This Et Al. Apart from recording your new EP, what else have you been up to?
Since Baby Machine, we went to Germany and got a new bass player (Chris) and before you know it, a year's gone! Other than that, the usual shite really: writing, recording, working, touring. And moving house....
The four tracks on the Figure Eight EP sound more expansive and certainly more effects-based than your previous works. Would you say the band's sound has developed considerably and, if so, what are the main influences or inspirations for this?
I think it's natural to kick against your first attempt. From a personal perspective my main criticism of Baby Machine was it being a little one-dimensional in places, due to the nature of how it was done and how we wrote it. It was more of a compilation of songs we wrote and toured over a three-year period. This EP is more of a product of what we were listening to at the time and where we're at; we're all still relatively young but the band's been together for five years now, so what we want to do has changed a lot. I was in my teens when we started. Recently I've been listening more and more to studio-based stuff: El-P, Subtle, The National, Radiohead. Radiohead are the best band at using the studio, and they kinda give you something to point towards, so this time round we tried to avoid just bashing through every song live and left it more open. I bought a Mac about a year ago and have just been recording a lot of demos, not really thinking if it sounds like us or not. I had a lot of demos that were more expansive - more instruments - and we wanted to recreate some of that, but make it sound good, ha ha. 'Medicine Hammer' and 'Ice Age' weren't finished before we went to the studio; we just booked an extra day so we could finish them there. James' (Kenosha) studio is in the middle of the East Yorkshire countryside, so it's easy to feel like there're no distractions. I think that's where the more exciting ideas come from, when you're in a good mood (and drunk) and it's all focused
Is there a new album in the pipeline and, if so, when are you hoping to release it?
We're hoping to get the LP out before end of 2008, but we haven't decided on a title yet. We have four or five songs finished and are working on a group of them now. It'll work totally different to how we did Baby Machine, a lot quicker and hopefully more concentrated in terms of the time we spend on it. Baby Machine was pretty disjointed. We'll end up back at James Kenosha's in Bridlington but he's doing the Grammatics LP in June, so it'll be after that. We decided to do the EP in order to get something out a little quicker - an album would've taken another six to nine months - and we want more time to write. At times, our Achilles heel as a band has been timing, so instead of planning a date we're trying to figure out what's feasible, a way that keeps people who buy the records happy and doesn't give us a nervous breakdown!
Video: 'Wardens'
- - -
What would you say are the main differences between the newer material and the songs on Baby Machine?
The EP isn't as overly intense as Baby Machine. I think there're fewer ideas playing at once to try and give the parts a bit of a space. I love that Echo & The Bunnymen record Ocean Rain. There's never too much going on, but it's just as emotive as everyone hammering away all at once. We want that to reflect a bit in our new stuff. We've had to learn the art of holding back a little, as it's so easy to play very very loud and make it sound good!
You've just finished what many people will see as your 'comeback' tour. What kind of response did you get at the shows and has it been as rabid as it was when you first arrived on the scene three years back?
We've had an ace reaction generally. We've only really been playing 'The Loveliest Alarm' and 'Wardens' from Baby Machine so it's been good to judge people's reactions to the new stuff. It's been good to get a string of gigs together as well; the last tour we did was in Germany and we never really did a proper tour for the album's 'official' release so it's good to get back to playing little hovels in the arsehole towns of England, ha ha.
Do you see This Et Al more as a live band than one that belongs in the studio, bearing in mind it was your live show that got people interested in the first place?
I think more and more nowadays I'd like to see us as a studio band, but it's probably playing live that gets the most plaudits. I think our music translates to a crowd better live than on record. It's more visceral and it's not as 'controlled' as some of our recordings. We've got the best line-up we've had at the minute and are much more confident than a few years ago, when we could be a bit patchy.
When you first emerged with 'He Shoots Presidents', on a Dance To The Radio split single with ¡Forward, Russia!, were there any expectations as to where it would lead?
I think at the time we just tried to keep our name about as much as we could and hoped for a deal. There was never really any long-term goal when we started; we just played for fun and when we started to play in Leeds it took off a bit. The industry and our awareness of it has changed so much since then and now; we're not 'chasing' a deal or 'looking' for success. I think prior to the split we hadn't been doing things right and when we made friends with the guys at DTTR and made plans with (label founder) Whiskas to do the compilation and singles, it changed our perspective on the whole thing. You're seriously better off just not giving a shit and just doing what you want to do as a band. At the time, in all honesty, it was pretty difficult as ¡Forward, Russia! were moving forward much quicker than us and I guess it was frustrating, being good friends and then not seeing your friends because they were doing more of what you wanted to do. I'd like to think we've done something other than that split single that was of relevance, and hopefully we won't just be known as that band that did something with ¡Forward, Russia!.
Do you look at the commercial success of ¡Forward, Russia! and The Pigeon Detectives with a touch of envy?
I guess so in a way. We get a lot of questions like this: "Why are you not as popular as your mates?" We're still lucky in a lot of ways, though: the album was released in most countries, we've made it over to Europe a few times, played some big festivals, toured with some ace bands. We get some good opportunities just off the back of us being a shit hot band, as opposed to having a big label or profile or being a new band. But then again, it doesn't account for shit when you can't accept as many opportunities as you'd like because of working! I'd trade in plenty of critical acclaim to get the opportunity to stop working and tour all year round.

As Leeds seems to be a never-ending conveyor belt of innovative new talent, are there any other bands you feel we should be checking out?
I still listen to a lot of stuff from round here. I think Grammatics and Dinosaur Pile-Up will be big in 2008 (see them at Saturday's DiScover Club). Laura Groves is another one who will probably go big this year. Wintermute, Vessels, Pulled Apart By Horses and Paul Marshall are all mint, too. I still think the bands that came out two or three years ago - ¡Forward, Russia!, iLiKETRAiNS, Duels and Napoleon IIIrd - are still making the best music in the area. Outside of Leeds, I recently got into The National big-time, as well as Daughters, Burial and Future Of The Left. All sorts, really.
Finally, what are your plans for the remainder of 2008?
We've got an all day event planned in Bradford on Saturday May 31 (see here for line-up details). We'll be doing a world tour of arenas once our second LP is out, but we'll be working on the LP from when this tour is done 'til after summer! Another single or EP hopefully at the end of summer. Some festivals in the summer. Not disappearing for another year without a trace is the general idea!
Figure Eight is out now. This Et Al play the following shows:
31 Bradford The Hop @ Delius w/ Johnny Foreigner, Sons & Daughters, Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man, Grammatics, Let's Wrestle, Laura Groves, Slow Club and Paul Marshall
19 Leeds Brudenell Social Club w/ The Twilight Sad

Well I made this flash animation in hopes to explain piston valves for the most part. Let me know if this helps anyone figure them out. Those who already know, please point out if you spot something wrong.
Phase Explainations
Applies to all Models
You may need to watch it several times because there are many things going on at once. This assumes you know the relationship between pressure, surface area, and force (pressure * surface area = force)
Phase 0: Basically just the gun in its pre-use state. No pressure in the gun.
Phase 1: An air source is connected behind the piston. Air enters the pilot chamber and the pressure pushes the piston against the rear of the barrel or chamber port.
Phase 2: Air continues to flow through the input and leaks around the outside of the piston or through an equalization hole into the main chamber. Once desired pressure is reached, the input flow is cut off and the gun is ready to fire.
Phase 3: The exhaust valve is opened and the pressure begins to fall in the pilot chamber. The exhaust must exhaust faster than the equilization hole can leak air back into the pilot. Once the force pressing on the back of the piston falls below the force acting on the front of the piston, it begins to slide back. Suddenly there is more surface area exposed on the front of the piston, and the jump in force slams the piston back leaving an opening for air to flow into the barrel to accelerate the projectile.
The exhaust valve is closed and a new projectile loaded. The gun is then back to it's original condition, ready for the cycle to repeat.
The main thing to notice between the different types are the forces caused by pressure. Of course forces could be changed by changing the changing the piston/sealing port diameter, but in the general senario like the one shown, with a constant barrel diameter between all types and a tee slightly larger than the port, the barrel sealing valve will have the same forces as coaxial in the closed position. Barrel sealing will have the highest opening force, coaxial will be in the middle, and chamber sealing will have both a low closing force and a low opening force.
Coaxial Piston Valve

Update: Now includes a control panel with play, pause, skip, frame by frame, and slow motion (took forever to figure out).
Update 2: Added labels for both the controls(mouse over) and the gun parts. You may need to Ctrl+F5 to see the updated flash if you viewed this page before. Also added a barrel sealing tee flash and tuned down the forces on the Coaxial flash to be more accurate compaired to the Barrel Sealing Tee flash.
Update 3: Added Chamber Sealing Tee flash, corrected minor bug with the forces on Barrel Sealing Tee flash, and fixed incorrect force displayed in the closed positon of Coaxial flash.

John Keats was young, sick, and poor…and one of the great poets of the English language. As such, he died young, and certainly did not have a gentleman's education. As with most of us, his knowledge of the ancient classics was by way of translation. In his day, a new translation of Homer, by Chapman, made a big splash, and Keats was impressed by it. (Whether that was truly his first exposure to Homer, I do not know.) He immortalized his enthusiasm in this sonnet, On First Looking into Chapman's Homer, in which he uses the metaphor of literature as territory, to be explored and appreciated.
Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-browed Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star'd at the Pacific — and all his men
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise —
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
Round many western islands have I been…
The speaker/author has read widely and travelled through the worlds of the literary imagination, including that of Greek poetry.
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene…
Well, maybe yes, maybe no. Certainly not in its original form.
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
A beautiful evocation of the excitement of literary discovery, and the enthusiasm of the reader. The image is founded on the notion of the scientist as a sort of poet/voyager himself, a romantic notion that dissolved in the succeeding materialist century. Compare to Whitman's use of the figure of the star-gazer in When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer.
Or like stout Cortez…
Cortez is not our day's notion of a romantic hero: history now treats him as a ruthless butcher caring for little but gold. But even I, raised in Southern California in which the school system regaled us with 'history units' on the Spanish Conquistadores every semester, cannot help but respond to this image.
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
So, he confused Cortez, destroyer of the Aztec Empire, with Balboa, the first European to see the Pacific Ocean. Just where is Darien, anyway? I think they call this poetic license.

Twelve United Nations Departments and Offices of the Secretariat, specialized agencies, funds and programmes play a role in mine-action programs in 30 countries and three territories. A policy developed jointly by these institutions (Mine Action and Effective Coordination: the United Nations Inter-Agency Policy) guides the division of labor within the United Nations. Much of the actual work, such as demining and mine-risk education, is carried out by nongovernmental organizations. But commercial contractors and, in some situations, militaries, also provide humanitarian mine-action services. In addition, a variety of intergovernmental, international and regional organizations, as well as international financial institutions, also support mine action by funding operations or providing services to individuals and communities affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war.
The twelve United Nations Departments and Offices of the Secretariat, specialized agencies, funds and programmes are: the United Nations Mine Action Service of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, the Office for Disarmament Affairs, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Office of the UnitedNations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Children's Fund
(UNICEF), the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Observer entities include the United Nations Institute for

Students work in groups to read and discuss a book, keeping track of their feelings and opinions about the book, as well as facts and quotations, as they read. After reading, each group goes through their notes on the book, marking items they want to include in a book review. They look at sample book reviews and discuss the common elements of book reviews. Next, each group works together to write a review of their book and use Web-authoring tools to publish the review onto a Web page. Students then decide which parts of their review they wish to annotate, with each student in the group responsible for one topic. Students research their topics, taking notes. Each student writes about his or her topic, including bibliographic information. The writings are then peer-reviewed by the group, published to the Web, and hyperlinked back to the group's book review.
The Annotated Book Review Project: This handout for students provides all the necessary details about the annotated book review project.
Student Annotated Book Review Rubric: Use this rubric to assess the book review project, including the graphics and layout, group book review, student research, navigation and links, and how well students worked together and followed guidelines.
Patricia Webb suggests that using the Web supports "collaboration" and "opened up engaging discussions about audience, writing, and texts." Dean Rehberger emphasizes the importance of annotation when he states, "We do, after all, read texts as hypertexts. Rarely reading a book from cover to cover, we use tables of contents, indexes, footnotes, and endnotes to make links from passage to passage, text to text, idea to idea. We collect and catalogue information-building bibliographies, resources, and libraries-and then turn around and deploy the information-paraphrases, quotations, and imitations-finding "originality" often in synthesis and syncretism. To this end, in my classes I use the Internet to emphasize these older rhetorical arts to create what I have come to call living texts" (194).
Emphasizing the connection among reading, writing, and Web page design, this lesson combines collaborative, small-group, and individual learning activities using literature circles and group investigations as suggested by Harvey Daniels and Marilyn Bizar.

When schools can intervene in off-campus cyberbullying cases
Schools sometimes do have jurisdiction, even if something happens off-campus
by Larry Magid
This article first appeared in the Summer 2009 issue of Threshold magazine
There was a time when to misbehave in school you had to be in school. These days technology makes it possible for youth to reach through both space and time to harass or bully classmates, regardless of physical location. For example, a group of kids could each be sitting in their own homes on a Saturday night, using their computers to contribute to a website or MySpace or Facebook social-networking page that demeans, harasses, defames, or impersonates a fellow student. The activity is taking place off campus, outside of school hours, and no school equipment is being used. Yet come Monday, that online activity could have a very real impact on campus. Not only might fellow students have seen it prior to arriving at school, they might also access that page at school on school computers or their own mobile phones. It could have a negative impact on the victim(s) or even cause a disruption school-wide.
Bullying is not new. It's probably been going on in one form or another since humans started inhabiting the planet. What is new is that it's now possible for kids to use the Internet, their cell phones, social-networking sites, and even game consoles to harm, impersonate, or embarrass others. And because the data is digital, it can be forwarded, archived, and searched pretty much forever.
It is also possible to express oneself in ways that are lewd and offensive and even to appear in or distribute nude or sexually suggestive photos via computer or cell phone that can be viewed from both off and on school grounds. We now have a term for that—sexting—and it too is becoming an issue for educators.
Is it at school, at home, or both?
When we explore the example of kids posting malicious content online on their own time, it's happening outside the reach of school officials. But is it really outside their jurisdiction? Even though the behavior may be taking place away from school, it could be having an impact on campus. Even though students are creating the webpage away from school, others may be reading it as school.
So what are school officials to do? Should they ignore the behavior, discipline the students involved, or look for an alternative way to deal with the problem? The answer isn't obvious.
The problem is that technology has complicated a reasonably clear set of policy directions set down by the United States Supreme Court in two landmark cases. In the 1968 case Tinker et al. v. Des Moines, the Supreme Court grappled with a situation in which a group of students was suspended from school for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War. The students took the district to court, and the case eventually reached the Supreme Court, which ruled in their favor.
Speaking for the court, Justice William Brennan wrote, "The record does not demonstrate any facts which might reasonably have led school authorities to forecast substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities, and no disturbances or disorders on the school premises in fact occurred." He added, "They neither interrupted school activities nor sought to intrude in the school affairs or the lives of others. They caused discussion outside of the classrooms, but no interference with work and no disorder. In the circumstances, our Constitution does not permit officials of the State to deny their form of expression."
Score one for the right of kids to express themselves on campus.
In 1983, in Bethel School District v. Fraser, the Supreme Court did place some limits on student speech. In that case, Matthew Fraser was suspended for using sexual innuendos in a student government nomination speech of a fellow student.
Fraser was suspended for disruptive activity and, after a series of legal decisions and reversals, the Supreme Court finally ruled that it was appropriate for the school to take action. The court found a big difference between the political protest of the Tinker self-expression and the lewdness of Fraser's speech. Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote, "Democratic society must, of course, include tolerance of divergent political and religious views, even when the views expressed may be unpopular. But these 'fundamental values' must also take into account consideration of the sensibilities of others." He added, "The undoubted freedom to advocate unpopular and controversial views in schools and classrooms must be balanced against the society's countervailing interest in teaching students the boundaries of socially appropriate behavior. Even the most heated political discourse in a democratic society requires consideration for the personal sensibilities of the other participants and audiences."
To simplify these two rulings, it could be said that schools must not punish political expression as long as it doesn't lead to disruption, but they can impose sanctions against certain types of lewd speech that go beyond the "boundaries of socially appropriate behavior." Based on that ruling, it would seem pretty obvious that schools have the right—some would say responsibility—to intervene in cases of harassment or cyberbullying. But the case law refers to activities that took place on campus. These landmark cases were decided long before students started using cell phones and Internet browsers that could reach across time and space.
Saturday night webpage
Let's put this in a modern context. As I said at the start, kids don't have to be in school to impact what happens in school. Let's say a group of students decide to create a webpage stating that "Susie is a slut." Susie might have grounds for a civil lawsuit based on defamation (though she may have difficulty finding a lawyer willing to take such a case), but the students' statement is clearly not a violation of any criminal law. But what happens if, on the next day at school, other kids start laughing at Susie or making lewd or mean comments? Suddenly the students' off-campus behavior is having an impact at school and could even jeopardize Susie's ability to obtain an education.
In that case, says Nancy Willard, executive director of the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use, the school may have grounds to intervene. "When it's outside of school, officials only have the authority to respond if the impact of that speech is going to come to school and will substantially disrupt school or interfere with the rights of other students at school," she says. "But they don't have the authority to respond to every- thing else or seek to impose moral values or respond to speech contrary to the school's mission."
Willard, who is not a practicing attorney but does have a law degree, believes that schools can and should intervene if the off-campus actions cause "a hostile environment for a student that is preventing that student from receiving an education." And she adds, "If [the action] applies to a protected class—racial, sexual, or disability—there is a probability that officials have an obligation to respond."
Scott Laurence, an administrator with the Palo Alto (Calif.) Unified School District, agrees with Willard. He states, "We have the right to intervene if [the activity] has spilled into the educational system and has a direct impact on the educational learning environment. Jurisdiction is always hard, but when you see it has a direct impact I believe that is when we have the right and responsibility to intervene." Laurence says it is similar t an off-campus fight on a Saturday night that spills over a school. We don't need to go back to the fight, he says, but we have the responsibility to
make sure it's a good environment on Monday morning.
Jennifer MacLennan, a school-law attorney with Arizona law firm Gust Rosenfeld, says, "The test for being able to discipline the person who set up the site is whether there is a nexus or connection from the off-campus activity or comment to activities occurring on the school campus." For example, if other kid are discussing the webpage while at school and treating the victim differently, then MacLennan says there is enough of connection that you can discipline the students who create site. Like others, she points out that administrators may get into a battle of competing rights. "The district could be sued for disciplining a child or failing to discipline a child," she says.
A Dissenting view
American Civil Liberties Union staff attorney Aden Fine challenges the right of schools officials to take any actions for behavior, however offensive, that occurs off campus. "When students are not in school, it's for parents to decide what students can and can't say. It is not for the schools to be involved." Fine says speech on the Internet is protected like all other speech. Even if there is an impact at school, he believes that does not justify suppressing or punishing speech. If a disruption at campus occurs, officials should punish the students who are being disruptive, not students whose speech may or may not have inspired that disruption.
If school officials are to act against a student accused of off- campus online harassment, then districts should gather information about where and when it occurred. "Is it related to a larger pattern of bullying and harassment that's taking place on and off campus?" asks Sara Levitan Kaatz, school-law attorney with the California law firm of Lozano Smith. She says that courts want to see substantial disruption—not that a kid pulled out a printout of a MySpace page in class and caused a distraction. Rather, districts need to document how many kids are talking about it, if they are accessing it on campus, and if and how it is disrupting the educational experience at school for the victim.
Kaatz says there is a balancing act between free speech and the district's commitment to keeping a safe environment. "I don't know a single administrator who wants to violate a student's free-speech right, but I do know a lot of administrators who wake up every morning wanting to make sure this is a safe school environment for everybody there," she states.
In 2005, the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Pennsylvania heard the case Latour v. Riverside Beaver School District, in which 14-year-old Anthony Lautour and his parents sued the school for expelling him for writing rap music in his home and publishing it online. The child, who never wrote music at school or brought his songs in, posted a song that contained violent language as part of a rap battle with another musician. The school worried that the songs contained terrorist threats and harassment. Speaking on National Public Radio, Latour's attorney Kim Watterson said, "You can't punish based upon words alone… [You need to determine] whether the speaker means to communicate an expression of an intent to do serious bodily harm." In a preliminary injunction, the court ruled in favor of the student, who was reinstated at school. The settlement included a $90,000 payment and the district's agreeing to amend its policy regarding circumstances as to when it can exclude students from school based on speech.
In Weedsport Central School District v. Wisniewski, however, the court ruled in favor of the district after an eighth-grader sent messages to friends from home that contained an icon depicting a pistol firing at a man's head with the words "Kill Mr. VanderMolen," the student's English teacher. The Second Circuit District court judge concluded that the icon was not protected speech because it constituted a true threat.
Tom Hutton, senior staff attorney for the National School Board Association, sees it both ways, acknowledging that there is a good deal of uncertainty. Hutton observes that technology changes much faster than law and policy; because some of these issues "play out in schools before they do in the rest of society, school officials need to make decisions before they have clear guidance from the law."
Hutton notes that states are passing cyberbullying laws asking schools to tackle the problem, while at the same time schools are being accused of overreaching and acting like Internet police. "No matter what you do, a lot people are going to be unhappy," says Hutton. "You can't win that debate." Hutton recommends that school officials become familiar with their state's cyberbullying laws. Several states are considering cyberbullying laws and at least 13 states have already passed one, including Arkansas, California, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, and Washington.
The specifics of the laws vary by state. Some simply require school boards to have a policy while others are more detailed. California law AB 86 went into effect in January 2009, giving schools the authority to suspend or expel students for bullying via the Internet, in text messages, or via other electronic means. The bill covers activities on school grounds, while going to or coming from school, during lunch period whether on or off campus, and during or while going to or coming from a school- sponsored activity.
Steps schools can take
Hutton, along with every other expert interviewed for this article, argues that disciplinary action shouldn't be a first response. "If you are confronted with the situation, you need to think of the full range of options you have," he says. "It may be that in the final analysis some discipline is warranted, but you should ask yourself if there's a way to solve the problem that doesn't bring up these legal issues."
Short of unleashing disciplinary action, there are a wide range of actions available to staff, including confronting the child, bringing in the parents, or even contacting the social- networking sites involved to see if they have any remedies. Hutton says educators also can make sure kids know that actions have consequences. Make sure they are aware that college admission counselors and employers know how to search for names, and victims have rights and can sue the students. In addition, students also can be expelled from social- networking sites for violation of terms of service, which universally prohibit bullying, harassment, and impersonation along with nudity and other inappropriate content.
Molly McCloskey, director of constituent services for the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, feels that conversations with students often can go a lot further than confrontations and disciplinary actions. "I come at this from a school-counselor lens," she says. "Once kids are in school, the adults in school are responsible for the health, safety, and support of each child in that building. Whether it happens off campus or on, it impacts the building and the ability of each child to be successful. So the school needs to respond from a climate lens rather than a punitive lens."
Regardless of whether the school has jurisdiction to officially intervene in something that happened off campus, it has—in McCloskey's opinion—the responsibility and moral authority to educate and try to prevent bullying before it becomes an issue. "The school is responsible for what happens inside the building, but the most powerful way that schools and communities can deal with this situation is to be aligned way before it happens," she states. Coordination with other agencies is the key to suc
cess. "If the value of school, social-service agencies, Boys and Girls Clubs, and other groups are all in harmony, then this sort of situation is less likely to happen," asserts McCloskey.
Camille Townsend, an attorney and Palo Alto, Calif., school board member, advises parents and educators to start with a non- disciplinary approach: "If your kid is being bullied, you look for help wherever you can find it. If the student is being a bully, certainly their parents don't want that to happen either. Rarely do you get a parent that doesn't want that to stop." Getting both sets of parents involved can often stop the problem. "The school can operate with a pretty gentle glove to get things to the point where they need to be," she says.

TUESDAY, July 10, 2012 (HealthDay News) --Track-related injuries have increased by more than a third among children and teens in the United States since the early 1990s, a new study finds.
The number of young people hurt while participating in the sport surged 36 percent between 1991 and 2008 -- from about 7,700 injuries to nearly 10,500, according to researchers from the Center for Injury Research and Policy of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
"Participation in track is a great way to encourage children and adolescents to remain physically active," the study's senior author, Lara McKenzie, principal investigator at the Center for Injury Research and Policy, said in a hospital news release. "However, the increase in injuries corresponding with the increased participation in this activity suggests we need to do a better job of preventing track-related injuries among our young athletes."
In the United States, only football attracts more children and teenage participants, the study says.
Track and field activities include sprinting, cross country, running, hurdles, relays, stretching and drills. The researchers used data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System to track nationwide injuries resulting from the sport.
Over the course of the 18-year study, the researchers noted that more than 159,000 children and teens from 10 to 18 years old were treated in emergency rooms for injuries they got while engaging in the sport.
Some injuries occurred more often than others. Fifty-two percent of those hurt were diagnosed with a sprain or a strain. Fractures accounted for 17 percent of the track-related injuries.
In 59 percent of cases, the young people were running when they got hurt, the study pointed out. The kids were attempting hurdles in another 23 percent of injuries.
"We found that the most commonly injured body parts varied across activity and across age group. For instance, elementary students were more likely to sustain upper extremity injuries while high school students were more likely to sustain lower leg injuries," added McKenzie, who is also a professor of pediatrics at Ohio State University College of Medicine.
"With this in mind, track-related injury prevention efforts may need to be tailored by activity for different age groups in order to most effectively address the injury concerns the athletes are facing," she said.
The study was published in the journal Physician and Sportsmedicine.

Hunyadi László
It was in 1844, at the crest of the reform era, that Ferenc Erkel composed his patriotic opera focussing on one of the most turbulent periods in Hungarian history: the days after the victory over the Turks at Belgrade in 1456. The hero of this work set during the era of the Hunyadis, however, is neither the famous "Turk beater" János Hunyadi nor his younger son King Mátyás, but the older son László, who was treacherously sent to the scaffold while still a young knight. Contemporary viewers received the work enthusiastically, since its scarcely disguised implications reflected the political relationships of their own era; naturally its impact also comes from the music, which was based on Italian and French models, along with with "Verbunkos" traditions.
The first Hungarian-language opera to remain an honoured part of the repertoire without interruption since its premiere, it appeared in a new production at the Hungarian State Opera in 2012.
Act I
The death of Cillei. Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade) Castle, 1456. Mátyás Hunyadi assembles with his family's supporters in the legendary castle of the Hunyadis, where only a few months earlier János Hunyadi had beaten back an overwhelming Turkish force, thus saving Europe from the Ottoman threat for the next seventy years.
László Hunyadi daydreams about Mária Gara, his betrothed. Rozgonyi warns him of the danger to his life. Cillei arrives, and László Hunyadi confronts him over his murderous plot, prompting Cillei to draw a dagger. László's men, however, jump out from their hiding places and kill the regent. The murder fills the king with terror, and while he does not dare to openly oppose the Hunyadis, he privately plans revenge.
Act II
The king's oath. On the Hunyadis' Temesvár (Timișoara) estate, Erzsébet Szilágyi dreads that Cillei's murder will mean death for her sons. Her increasingly raving vision of the future predicts the tragic events to come.
When the king comes to visit, Erzsébet begs him to treat the Hunyadi boys benevolently.
The king feigns friendship. Meanwhile, the king has fallen in love with Mária Gara, which does not escape the notice of her father, the intriguing and power-hungry palatine, Miklós Gara. Erzsébet has only a few minutes to enjoy her sons' presence without worry. The king has summoned them and made a peace offering. Gara plays the contradictory situation to his own ends, fulfilling his political ambitions. The king publicly swears that he will not seek revenge for Cillei's murder.
Act III
Intrigues and execution. Buda, 1457. The king daydreams about Mária. Gara takes advantage of this, promising the king his daughter's hand, and also lies that the Hunyadis intend to assassinate him at the wedding. The terrified king leaves László's fate to Gara.
Palatine Gara and the king's troops disrupt the wedding of László Hunyadi and Mária Gara and throw László into a dungeon.

Without easy access to a good fromagerie, one may still buy young cheese at a grocery store and ripen it at home in hopes of making it a bit more interesting. Large grocery stores will sometimes carry decent cheese that is young (and hence has shelf-life) but will be more flavourful closer to it's best-before date. Along the lines of last year's cheese post, we've stocked up for Christmas in mid-November at our local superstore (anyone from the UK will recognize these generic labels). By wrapping our cheese in greaseproof paper and hiding it in the lettuce crisper of the fridge for weeks, we hope to improve the hand we've been dealt. Most of these cheeses have some sort of official seal, such as DOP, AOC or PDO, which guarantee that they come from a particular region and are made in a particular way. It does not guarantee that they are good, or that we will like them, but in our experience a regional protection symbol greatly increases the odds.
I'm presently ripening the four whole cheeses in the front row of the photograph, and they all just happen to be French. Take note of the word 'whole': in my experience home-aging works most effectively for small whole, soft cheeses. I've had no luck at all ripening cheese that has been cut (is that possible? impossible?). So, starting from left to right in the front row, epoisses is an unpasteurized cow's milk cheese from Burgundy, full fat with a rind washed in a spirits, and when ready it will smell like a horse's arse. The pont l'eveque is a beefy-tasting brine-rubbed cheese from Normandy, politely sold in demi size. The vignotte is a pasteurized triple-cream from Champagne with no name-control; in other words it's what passes for brie in many countries. The chaource is also from Champagne, and also similar to brie with a bloomy rind, but expected to march past the vignotte by virtue of being unpasteurized. Are these specimens going to be any good?: only time will tell. Are my cheeses from great 'farmhouse' producers? I doubt it, but I won't be jetting off to Paris this December, so Tesco Finest™ will have to do. (Speaking of Tesco, the Ardenne Pate shown is gluten-free (and a £1!).) All these cheese will be improved by their native beverages: white burgundy, good apple cider, and of course champagne, repsectively.
Otherwise-pictured treats are a DOP pecorino tuscano, the aforementioned pork pate, an AOC gruyere, a PDO greek feta, an AOC issau-oraty, and finally a PDO british blue stilton from the Long Clawson Dairy, which is brilliant, and inexpensive domestically. Admittedly, not all these things will see December. Besides ripening some softer cheeses, another tip is that if you live far from cheese production is to consider harder cheeses that are designed to travel better, and are often raw-milk cheeses (once a cheese is aged long enough the FDA doesn't care about the original milk). I'm enjoying a Swiss Sbrinz this week, a nutty two year-old, something like grano padano only creamier with and a hint of butterscotch. If Heidi can safely carry it up the mountain, an exporter can safely carry it to my cheese aisle.

text: View source Classic editor History Mewtwo has chosen KidProdigy to be Featured User! Welcome Hold it! What are you guys up to here anyway! — Hugh KidProdigy formerly known as ProGamerP9 joined the Pokémon Wiki on September 28, 2010 and was one of the Pokémon Wiki rollback users from January 23 to July 2013. KidProdigy already made 3,277 edits around the Pokémon Wiki. History of becoming a Pokémon fan I have been a fan of the Pokémon series since the release of the Generation I series and still on I am big Pokémon fan. I obtained many merchandise of the series, from the games to the cards and from cards to toys. Anyway, many of the Pokémon merchandise that I owned previously has been either broken or mysteriously gone which I am only adding the game systems to my collection. The reason why I've become a Pokémon fan was because of the anime. After seeing only Episode 1 of the anime series I am enjoying the series. But when you grow older you notice that the Pokémon series are not more the same as it used to be. Despite that I don't love the anime any more, I am focusing on the main game series, the initial growth of the Pokémon series. Anyway, this is my short few of the birth of my Pokémon addiction. Pokémon Wiki I've joined the Pokémon Wiki on September 28, 2010 where I made my first edit. I though that everyone should know the fact that Ash eyes has been turned much lighter than it's initial appearance, but soon after that I've lost trust in editing this wiki. It didn't meant that I left this wiki, it was more to train my abilities as a editor around different wikia's. I returned around September, 2012 to show my abilities around this wiki but I was frequently inactive due to that I am administrator at various of different wiki's. But due my enjoyment of the Pokémon series, I wanted to edit around here as much as possible to become as popular as Serebii and Bulbapedia. Serebii and Bulbapedia are my main inspiration of given away information of the Pokémon series. Bulbapedia's information of the Pokémon series are so well precise and correct that I gave some hope up for this wiki which I believed that this wiki already had lost to Bulbapedia. I want to make my way to make this website even more better than each and every fan-based Pokémon websites, not only Serebii and Bulbapedia. I believe that not only me but many other editors will make that change to happen around this wiki. I want to show my skills that I've learned on other wiki and want to prove it around here (also at my other wiki's). To Do List Handling each stub around the Pokémon Wikia (but only stubs on the game sections). Correcting grammar and spellings. Watching out for vandalism. Creating the walkthroughs (after finishing with my initial tasks). Trying to create new templates and revamping old templates to make them into useful original templates exclusively only for this wikia.

September 21, 2010 Jewish Women's Lives Under Medieval Islam Is Subject of Oct. 25 Lecture
Press Contact: Audrey Fischer (202) 707-0022
Public Contact: Peggy Pearlstein (202) 707-3779 | Ann Brener (202) 707-4186
A treasure trove of primary sources containing some 280,000 Jewish manuscript fragments was discovered in the geniza (storage room) of a synagogue in Cairo, Egypt, during the late-19th century. Known as the Cairo geniza, the material—dating from about A.D. 870—is now housed in libraries throughout Europe and the United States.
Sara Reguer, head of the Department of Judaic Studies at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, has used the documents to explore various aspects of women's lives under medieval Islam, with a special focus on their professions, their charitable activities and their education. She will deliver a lecture titled "The Cairo Geniza—the World of Jewish Women" at the Library of Congress at noon on Monday, Oct. 25 in the African and Middle Eastern Division Reading Room, Room 220 of the Thomas Jefferson Building, 10 First Street S.E., Washington, D.C.
Sponsored by the Hebraic Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division, the event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
Reguer holds a bachelor's degree in religious education from Yeshiva University Teachers Institute for Women and a doctorate in history from Columbia University, where she specialized in Middle East history and Jewish history. In addition to Brooklyn College, she has taught at Hofstra University, Yeshiva University and the University of Naples, Italy. She is the editor of "The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa in Modern Times" (2003).
Founded in 1800, the Library of Congress is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution. The Library seeks to spark imagination and creativity and to further human understanding and wisdom by providing access to knowledge through its magnificent collections, programs and exhibitions. Many of the Library's rich resources can be accessed through its website at www.loc.gov and via interactive exhibitions on a personalized website at myLOC.gov.
The African and Middle Eastern Division furthers the Library's mission by serving as the center for the study of some 78 countries and regions from Southern Africa to the Maghreb and from the Middle East to Central Asia. The division's Hebraic Section is one of the world's foremost centers for the study of Hebrew and Yiddish materials.

The Dwarf Wrymouth or Cryptacanthodes aleutensis is one of the four species of Wrymouth found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This particular species is found in the Pugent Sound area. These saltwater fish have an eel-like elongated body that lacks any scales. They have a pinkish or reddish coloration with long dorsal and anal fins that on at the base of the tale. Dwarf Wrymouth grow to about 1' in length and are often seen buried in the soft sentiment at the bottom of the ocean with its eyes pointing upwards waiting for potential prey to swim by. Pictured below is an unspecified species of Wrymouth with just it's head sticking out of the sand.
