Pakistani Refugees Seek School Places in Afghanistan
Influx from North Waziristan puts strain on already overburdened system.

Pakistani refugees who fled a massive counter-terrorism operation and sought sanctuary in Afghanistan this summer say tens of thousands of their children are missing out on an education.
The Pakistani army campaign in North Waziristan, launched in June, has caused large-scale displacement into neighbouring provinces of Afghanistan.
In Khost, more than 22,500 refugee families are spread among the Spera, Alisher and Tanai districts as well as the main provincial town.
The government and local residents are struggling to provide services, and Mursalin Shamir, a tribal elder from North Waziristan, said the incomers feared for their children's future.
"Schools should be built and teachers hired for them, so that our children can avoid future disasters," he said, adding that tens thousands of Pakistani boys and girls across Khost were in need of education.
Hedayatullah, originally from Miranshah in North Waziristan, said that instability had already disrupted their children's education back home.
"We demand that schools are built for us so that our children have a bright future," he said.
Harun, a school-age boy, said his early years had been ruined by conflict, and asked Afghan officials to find a way for him and other refugee children to continue their education.
"I was in grade third in Miranshah," he said. "I went to school there, but when we came here, there was nothing. I don't even have a book or a pen. I want to study at school."
Provincial council officials in Khost said that they were aware of the problem and had shared their concerns with Khost governor Abdul Jabbar Naimi and other officials.
Sayed Karim Khaksar, chairman of the Khost provincial council, said President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai had been made aware of it and had ordered the relevant ministries to tackle it.
"Over time, we will address all the problems of the refugees from North Waziristan," Khaksar added.
Mobarez Mohammad Zadran, spokesman for the governor of Khost, said that helping the refugee families was a priority.
One camp had already been set up in the Gorboz district, 20 kilometres from Khost city, to house about 3,000 families. More than 50 teachers had been recruited to teach children there, and Zadran said that eventually they hoped to run 80 classes catering for some 2,000 pupils.
He added that the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR was planning to set up schools for a further 5,600 children and that Care International was also developing programmes for the refugees.
"We are in contact with different UN agencies. We have educational programmes for [the refugees] even though they live in various parts of Khost," Zadran said.
Khost's educational facilities are already over-stretched. The province currently has 344 schools employing some 6,000 teachers and catering for around 270,000 boys and 90,000 girls. However, only 152 of these schools have proper buildings. At the others, pupils are forced to learn in tents or in the open air.
Bakht Nur Bakhtiar, head of the provincial education department, said that statistics from Afghanistan's refugee agency indicated that "we have 50,000 children between the ages of seven and 18, and they must all be enrolled in schools."
Bakhtiar said there were also thousands of children in Khost who had been displaced from other parts of Afghanistan. The Pakistani children will have to study the Afghan educational curriculum alongside them, he added.
Ahmad Shah is a student at Khost university and an IWPR-trained reporter.

Can Edmonton Oilers' defence corps get past the injury bug?
Bruce McCurdy, Edmonton Journal
It's tough playing defence in the National Hockey League. Tough to learn, tough to survive.
Fans of the Edmonton Oilers know all too well of what I speak, having watched their team's defence corps decimated by the injury bug time and again in recent years. While this is hardly unique to the Oil, it does seem as if the local side has been especially hard hit over the past several seasons. Many of the club's current or developing blueliners — Ryan Whitney, Ladi Smid, Theo Peckham, Alex Plante, Colten Teubert — have a long history with multiple and/or chronic injuries which have made them unavailable for duty, slowed their development, or even endangered their careers.
For the sake of the current discussion, let's just chronicle what happened to d-men in the Edmonton organization in the 2011-12 season. We'll start with rearguards who started last season on the Oilers' roster, listed in order of decreasing age (as of January 31, 2012), citing games missed figures obtained from the club's website.
Andy Sutton (36) – Missed 7 games with a November groin injury.
Tom Gilbert (29) – Suffered ankle injury in January that sidelined him for 13 games and severely crimped his style upon his return, possibly triggering trade to Minnesota.
Ryan Whitney (28) – Started season on Injured Reserve, ultimately spending three stints there with ankle, knee, and ankle woes. Missed 31 games.
Corey Potter (28) – Three separate stints on IR with ankle, groin, and concussion issues that cost him 18 games. Ended season on IR.
Ladislav Smid (25) – Missed last 4 games with neck injury. Ended season on IR.
Cam Barker (25) – Missed 4 games with shoulder injury, then 35 more with ankle surgery. Released at season's end.
Theo Peckham (24) – Shelved with facial lacerations, then a concussion, officially missing 18 games. Ended season on IR.
Jeff Petry (24) – Missed two games late in the year with facial contusion, but returned to finish season.
Last season's bug extended to three young pros who have seen their development delayed if not stalled:
Taylor Fedun (23) – Suffered broken femur in pre-season. Spent entire season on IR.
Alex Plante (22) – Incurred two concussions, one in NHL which shelved him for 9 games, then another in OKC which cost him seven weeks.
Colten Teubert (21) – Suffered concussion in Young Stars tournament, missed camp and start of season. Incurred facial fractures in AHL playoffs. Ended season on IR.
Those developing in junior or Europe have hardly been immune either. Here's the group of such players who were in the system last year and who are currently under contract to the organization:
Brandon Davidson (20) – Suffered separated shoulder in WHL playoffs, then was unable to join the Barons for what should have been a late season call-up. Ended season on IR.
Martin Marincin (19) – Healthy season, splitting 70 games among Prince George, Regina, OKC, and Slovakia.
David Musil (18) – Suffered mid-season wrist injury that cost him a couple of weeks, then required surgery in March that shelved him for remainder of season and playoffs. Ended season on IR.
Oscar Klefbom (18) – Several injuries derailed the start of his season, including a laceration, an infection, and a reported concussion. Seems to have been healthy in second half.
Maybe it's just as well the Oilers went completely outside the organization to add these two guys:
Nick Schultz (29)– Healthy season, played 82 games including last 20 in Edmonton.
Justin Schultz (21)– Healthy season, played all 37 games at University of Wisconsin.
To recap, of the 15 defencemen currently under contract to the Oilers, a disturbing seven of them ended last season on IR. This list does not include Whitney or Plante, who managed to finish their seasons on the ice but who missed substantial time and continue to have lingering concerns going forward. It also doesn't include Gilbert and Barker, now former Oilers whose seasons were derailed by injuries that may have hastened their respective departures.
The morals of this sad story?
1) It helps to have 10 or more NHL-ready defencemen on the depth chart. You're apt to need them all sooner or later.
2) Good idea to have an excess of good prospects since some are likely to be lost along the way.
3) Hire as many guys named Schultz as possible.
Theo Peckham's season ended with this hit from behind by Rick Nash.

If you are interested in weight loss, gain, or just managing a healthy weight, sleep should be a high priority. Here are some tips and tricks to improving sleep. You may be able to lose some weight by starting with healthy sleep habits.
Try to keep a regular schedule as much as possible. That includes the time you go to sleep and the time you wake up. Your weekends might allow you to stay up later. Try to get to sleep as close to your week-day times and don't sleep in several hours past the time you would normally wake up during the week. We all have our own internal rhythm and disturbing this will also disturb hormones that regulate sleep and hunger.
Make sure that the environment you sleep in is dark, cool, and free of noises that will wake you up unnecessarily. Consider a "white noise" machine or fan if that helps drown out noise.
Don't go to bed really hungry or too full. You are better to go to sleep with less in your stomach. Digestion takes work for your body and can increase body temperature. Cooler is better for good sleep.
Limit your exposure to electronics a few hours before bed. If you like to read before bed, I would suggest that you stick to the old school version of good-old-fashioned books.
Don't take your phone with you to bed. Commit to plugging it in somewhere else. Get a regular alarm clock so that you no longer can use that as an excuse to sleep with your phone.
Don't hang out where you sleep. Simple as that. Don't lie where you sleep working on your Ipad, laptop, or watching TV. Use the space for sleep.
Manage your stress as best as possible. A tool that works well for me is to keep a notepad by my bed. It's inevitable that when your head hits the pillow that you might start thinking about all kinds of stuff. I use pen and paper to help me "park" all the stuff I need to remember or worry about so that I know I can pick it up in the morning. Laying around thinking and worrying about it doesn't do anyone any good. Either get up and do something about it, or pick it up in the morning.
Avoid caffeine and other stimulants. If you must have it, consume it before noon.
Make sure to get regular, vigorous physical activity. If you increase the intensity of your workouts you might find that doing vigorous activity may be better for you in the morning. Some people find they are wide-awake if they exercise vigorously within a few hours of bedtime. Also, increasing the intensity of your activity can significantly affect your post exercise oxygen consumption as well as affect your hormones so be aware of this – it might mess with your sleep!
I recommend trying to get as much of your exercise during daylight hours and do it outside in the fresh air if possible. If you live where I live, you might be forced to exercise indoors because the roads are so ridiculously icy you can't even get down to the end of your driveway without taking a spill. However, when possible, get outside.
Don't take naps. If you are so exhausted during the day that you have to take a nap – don't do it. You are better off to move your bedtime earlier if you are inclined to take naps.

Do Barefoot Buddies come in extra wide?
Available in sizes Small (4-5), Medium (6-7), Large (8-9) and X Large (10-11).
I have short wide feet. These are stretchy so they accommodate the width. I wear a 6EE shoe and size S in these slippers.
I wear a 6.5 shoe. What size should I order for the Barefoot Buddies?
I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range. Example if you wear a size 7 and the stated sizes are S (5-6), M (6-7), L (8-9), XL (9-10); I would buy a L instead of a M. Like with a size 6, I would buy a M instead of a S. Same is true with 1/2 sizes, go to the next size.I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range. Example if you wear a size 7 and the stated sizes are S (5-6), M (6-7), L (8-9), XL (9-10); I would buy a L instead of a M. Like with a size 6, I would buy a M instead of a S. Same is true with 1/2 sizes, go to the next size.Enter an answer to this question.
I would suggest a 7. They are plenty roomy but the 6 might be a little snug.
hello, i wear size 9 shoe, what size barefoot buddies should i purchase.
I wear 9.5 wide, and large is quite comfortable...I wear the ballet style, as I prefer to go barefoot at all times...have worn them outdoors as well and washed several times over several years...quite sturdy to date.
what is the inside of the sock like, is there any padding?
BEST ANSWER: No, there is no padding. It is a layer of soft fabric. They work well for me as I have MS and need a flexible "shoe" to not trip up my dragging feet.
There is no padding, The sole part of the shoe has a non-slip coating and feels as though you're walking barefoot. The sizing is off; I wear a 9 1/2 so I ordered the xl (10-12) and they were too small, I was disappointed to wear them with my toes scrunched up, but they did loosen up a bit. Also, they do not last long because sole and coating are too flimsy.
There is more padding than a sock and do best on carpet, tile or linoleum. Concrete is too rough.
There is no padding in thse slippers. I use mine for travel. Also they run small.
What shoe size fits L and XL Barefoot Buddies Ballet Slippers?
BEST ANSWER: I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range. Example if you wear a size 7 and the stated sizes are S (5-6), M (6-7), L (8-9), XL (9-10); I would buy a L instead of a M. Like with a size 6, I would buy a M instead of a S. Same is true with 1/2 sizes, go to the next size.
BEST ANSWER: I wear a 71/2 wide shoe. It fit me just fine. It might be tight for a WW. What I did not like about the slipper was that my feet sweat in the slipper because of the material used on the inside.
I have a "c" width foot and there is ample room with lots of stretch so they should fit. I have no problems .
My foot is a little wide. My slippers fir fine. However if it was widwe they may slip off easier.
They're very stretchy so I think they would. You might want to order a size up.
Easily -- The beauty of them is that they stretch but do not bind.
the catalog showed two pair for 12.99 and this site shows 15.99 for on pair - why the difference?
BEST ANSWER: I think the 15.99 have a thicker non-slip sole. might be water prof for outside.
IS SIZE 7 A MEDIUM?
BEST ANSWER: I wear between a size 7 and 8 shoe depending on manufacturer and these fit perfectly. They are very comfortable and you will be pleased with them.
I bought these in a size 9 which was a large. So, yes 7 would be a medium.....but they really run small.
Love these slippers for travel but they do seem to run a bit short. I order a half size bigger.
Yes. I wear a 7 and mine fit just fine.
I think you would be happier with a lg.
How durable for wear around the house (not outside) are these..will they last more than one season? Thanks for any appropriate answer.
BEST ANSWER: Barefoot Buddies Ballet Slippers are durable.
I have found them more durable than at first they appeared. They seemed so lightweight and delicate, but have proven to be made of sturdier stuff than I thought. We have wood and tile floors, not carpet, and I have worn them outside on dirt and asphalt, with no negative effect.
"Durability" varies, depending on how often you wear them. I've already worn holes in one pair and I've had them only a few months; they can be mended, but if the holes are in the soles, it's a challenge to mend around the foot-shaped traction spots.
They are very durable but very soft . Feels like I have nothing on.
yes, if you do not use them on rough or highly textured surfaces.
what are the sizes for small medium large ?
Like most slippers, small=5-6, medium=7-8 (or just 7), large=8-9 (or just 8) and XL=9-10 (or just 10). I would NOT size up, as some have suggested, because they are very STRETCHY and you may not be able to keep them on unless you have really, really wide feet (like you take a WW or more); I've found all the ones I ordered totally true to size, and I always wear a 8-9 in most slipper styles, so I order a L in these.
I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range. Example if you wear a size 7 and the stated sizes are S (5-6), M (6-7), L (8-9), XL (9-10); I would buy a L instead of a M. Like with a size 6, I would buy a M instead of a S. Same is true with 1/2 sizes, go to the next size.
The size guide is found when you place an order or indicate an interest in the product. I ordered L which was 8- 10 and it is fairly accurate as I wear an 8.
Can't help with all of your question but I wear a size 8 Medium shoe and Large in the Barefoot Buddies.
I agree with the rest, they do run a bit small.
Approx what sizes are S and M?
BEST ANSWER: I wear a 6 1/2 shoe. The small slippers were too tight. I had to return them for a medium.
A M is probably a 7 - 8, but if they don't fit, returns and exchanges are very easy!
I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range. Example if you wear a size 7 and the stated sizes are S (5-6), M (6-7), L (8-9), XL (9-10); I would buy a L instead of a M. Like with a size 6, I would buy a M instead of a S. Same is true with 1/2 sizes, go to the next size. an answer to this question.
Be aware that these are *supposed* to mold to your foot, so they may feel a little snugger than you're used to, and they also are very stretchy.
I bought size L. I wear a size 10 shoe and the Buddies Slipper fits perfectly.
Does the elastic that holds the slipper on too tight? Or get too tight if your feet swell?
BEST ANSWER: For me, the elastic was just right. They stay on but do not become tight.
don't wear very well. I seem to wear holes in the balls of the slippers too quickly.
Yes, it's a little snug.
BEST ANSWER: I wear a 10/1/2 shoe and ordered extra large. They fit but are not too large. I plan On buying some with an outdoor sole.
They run true to size. I wear an 11 WW in shoes so I purchased XL and they fit just fine.
BEST ANSWER: Hi! Gold Violin has the XL size fitting shoe size 8-9. I purchased the XL size and I wear a size 7 1/2. Here's my reasoning...my feet swell, one larger than the other. The M fit just right, nice and snug, for my shoe size, but to accommodate my swelling issue I brought up one size. I recommend to anyone buying these to go up one size if you are on the back end of the size range. Example if you wear a size 7 and the stated sizes are S (5-6), M (6-7), L (8-9), XL (9-10); I would buy a L instead of a M. Like with a size 6, I would buy a M instead of a S. Same is true with 1/2 sizes, go to the next size.
You could click on the size guide for this answer. I wear a size 10 and these are snug .If you wear an size 8 to 10 shoe, these should fit.
I wear a size 5/5.5 so I bought size small. They were to small and crowded my toes together so I suggest buying one size up.
BEST ANSWER: The soles are made of water resistant material but I would not wear them in the water or rain.
I have gotten them wet. But I think that causes them to wear out quicker.
I think so but I haven't wet them very much to see.
No, they are indoor slippers.
Do they have a non-slip bottom?
The traction spots make the sole overall non-slip, so they'll be fine on normal carpet, tile or wood floors--I just would not wear them around any untextured wet surfaces, like inside a shower, etc.
The slippers I purchased have non-slip sections on the bottom. The entire bottom is not one non-slip area. They work fine for me.
BEST ANSWER: I have not experienced increased temperature in my feet or sweating when wearing them if that is what you are asking regarding "breathable". They are a very light weight slipper with no insole or arch support. I like to be in my bare feet in the house most of the time, but in the winter months I want a bit of cover due to the cold floors. I like these slippers because regular isotoner slippers make my feet too hot. I just wish these slippers had some type of support in the bottom.
I wasn't sure how mine would hold up in machine washing/drying, so I hand-washed all mine in Woolite with a light scrubbing of the insoles and about a 10-minute soak, then let them air-dry. They came out perfect, even the ones I'd had to mend.
I meant to say I rinsed them after the soaking, of course, before I dried them.

O M47, M48 e M60 Patton foram os principais tanques empregados pelo exército dos Estados Unidos durante as guerras da Coreia e do Vietnam. Foi assim chamado em homenagem ao general George S. Patton, comandante do Terceiro Exército dos Estados Unidos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e um dos primeiros adeptos ao uso de tanques em batalhas.

Emprego em Portugal

M47
Foi operado pelo Exército Português a partir de 1952, sendo recebidas cerca de 150 unidades.

Quando da eclosão da Revolução dos Cravos (25 de abril de 1974), estes blindados assumiram posições nas entradas da cidade de Lisboa e na rua do Arsenal.

M48
O Exército Português recebeu 22 unidades do M48A5 da Alemanha, estes veículos substituíram o M47 a partir de 1977.

Posteriormente, em 1984, outras 43 unidades foram adquiridas dos EUA. Atualmente, uma parte destes veículos foi sucateada e outra parte encontra-se na reserva.

O M48A5 é a versão mais recente do M48, com capacidades similares aos M60A3 adquiridos para substituí-los, exceto pelo equipamento de visão noturna.

M60
Com a incorporação do M1 Abrams no Exército do EUA, houve a disponibilidade de grandes quantidades do carro de combate M60. 96 M60A3TTS foram incorporados pelo Exército Português. Embora desenvolvido a partir dos M48 Patton, a linha M60 nunca foi oficialmente classificada como uma VBC "Patton", mas como "descendente melhorado" da linha "Patton".

Q: What is the difference between executions and configurations in a maven plugin? I found this description but it does not seem comprehensive.  Could someone explain in detail what is the difference between executions and configurations in a maven plugin?

A: A <configuration> section outside an <execution> block affects the plugin's behavior in general way. For instance, plugins that are either executed directly through the CLI or have a default phase that they bind to will use this type of configuration. An example of such a plugin would be the compiler plugin.
On the other hand, a <configuration> section inside an <execution> block only applies to that specific execution.
As always, a more specific configuration can override a general configuration. So if a general configuration (outside an execution block) says <doCheck>false</doCheck>, an execution might choose to only override this by doing <doCheck>true</doCheck>.
Another feature of general configurations is that their parameters will be inherited by all executions of that plugin.

A: An <execution> causes the plugin to be executed during the maven build lifecycle, i.e. during your build. The <configuration> allows you to configure the plugin for how it should behave during execution. Many Maven plugins provide documentation about their configuration options, e.g. the maven-compiler-plugin.
You can define <configuration>s on the <plugin> level or the <execution> level. The former is globally valid for all executions, the latter is specific to the execution.
Example for global an execution-specific configurations:
Suppose, you have to compile your project with Java 1.7 but you want to early adopt Java 9 Jigsaw features and add a module-info.java to your project. This Java file will not compile using source level 1.7. What you can do is define two executions of the maven-compiler-plugin, one that compiles everything except module-info.java with source level 1.7 and one that does only compile module-info.java with source level 1.9:
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.3</version>

  <!-- Global plugin configuration for source and target levels. -->
  <configuration>
    <source>1.7</source>
    <target>1.7</target>
  </configuration>

  <executions>
    <!-- Compile all code except module-info.java with the configured source level -->
    <execution>
      <id>default-compile</id>
      <phase>compile</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>compile</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <excludes>
          <exclude>module-info.java</exclude>
        </excludes>
      </configuration>
    </execution>

    <!-- Compile module-info.java with source level 1.9 -->
    <execution>
      <id>compile-module-info-java</id>
      <phase>compile</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>compile</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <source>1.9</source>
        <target>1.9</target>
        <includes>
          <include>module-info.java</include>
        </includes>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

A: I think answer from @Stefan is already quite clear.  I would like to be even a bit more verbose in case it helps.
"execution" under plugin is declaring "what should be done at when".  Basically, an execution usually at least contains: phase and goal (I know you don't always see it in config, but conceptually they are there), which you can see it as: When the build process reached phase, then the goal action of the plugin will be executed.
Of course, you can have multiple executions for a plugin, so that different/same goals can be run in different/same phases.
Then come to configuration.  Sometimes you need to tell the plugin extra detail on how the plugin should act on because the plugin may not be able to guess what you want to do by default.  configuration is doing such work.  You can refer to document of plugin's goal to see what kind of configuration they accept.
Plugin level configuration will be applied to all executions of the plugin, while you can also define configuration under each execution, which serve as execution-specific configuration.  Plugin-level configuration + execution-level configuration is the "real" configuration received by an execution.

Evidence of Prior Similar Crimes by the Defendant
"Evidence that shows or tends to show a defendant has committed a prior crime generally is inadmissible to prove the crime charged." Guill v. Commonwealth, 255 Va. 134, 138, 495 S.E.2d 489, 491 (1998). "This is because such evidence confuses one offense with the other, unfairly surprises the defendant with a charge he is unprepared to meet, and, by showing that the defendant has a criminal propensity, tends to reverse his presumption of innocence of the crime on trial." Lewis v. Commonwealth, 225 Va. 497, 502, 303 S.E.2d 890, 893 (1983). Although evidence of other crimes is not admissible when offered merely to show the accused's propensity for such crimes or acts, see Kirkpatrick v. Commonwealth, 211 Va. 269, 272, 176 S.E.2d 802, 805 (1970), it is admissible when it is "relevant to an issue or element in the . . . case." Sutphin v. Commonwealth, 1 Va. App. 241, 245, 337 S.E.2d 897, 899 (1985). Thus, evidence of other crimes is allowed when it tends to prove motive, intent, or knowledge of the defendant. Among other exceptions, evidence of other crimes also is allowed if relevant to show the perpetrator's identity when some aspects of the prior crime are so distinctive or idiosyncratic that the fact finder reasonably could infer that the same person committed both crimes. Guill, 255 Va. at 138-39, 495 S.E.2d at 491. When offered to prove identity, the prior crime does not have to be a "signature" crime; however, it must show "'a singular strong resemblance to the pattern of the offense charged.'" Spencer v. Commonwealth, 240 Va. 78, 90, 393 S.E.2d 609, 616 (1990); see also Chichester v. Commonwealth, 248 Va. 311, 448 S.E.2d 638 (1994), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 1166, 130 L. Ed. 2d 1095, 115 S.

Back to School Bash
This is our story
There was something inside me that just said "you have to do this" it was either take the leap or pack your bags and go home...
Isn't it crazy that this all started in March of 2019, 2021 has dawned and we are still in this space of struggle and turmoil?
We know that everyone has been affected greatly by this time but we thought it was time to share our story...
In July 2020, Springfield Public Schools announced that they would use a hybrid schedule to serve all students. This meant that students were split into two groups. One group would attend school in person on Mondays and Tuesdays while the other group attended school in person on Thursdays and Fridays, the other three days of the week the students would attend school virtually.
When they announced this, it was a complete shock to us as well as the families. What are we going to do?
But this was the moment. We knew that to not act would be not only the cowardly way out but we also knew it would be wrong.
I had already received multiple messages from our families that said "what are you going to do? I have to work, I can't leave my kids at home three days a week, what can I do?" We knew our community was suffering and we couldn't just turn away from them.
We serve families whose children attend Bingham and Pittman Elementary School, both of which are considered Title I schools. Most of the families we serve need both parents to work full time and many are single parent homes. What are they supposed to do with their Kindergartner when they're at work and their child needs to be online three days a week for virtual school and cannot attend school in person?
We quickly realized that we had to do more. We couldn't just offer a Before & After School program as before. We knew we needed to open an all day care, where students could attend and get help with their virtual school work but also still attend before and after "school" whether they went to school that day or stayed with us. The scary part was we had ZERO clue about how much this would cost, we knew our staff needs would double, and what about COVID concerns, how would we keep kids safe?
So Jeff Sikes (our Board President), Ramona Brown (Board member), and I sat down, we hashed it all out, and in the end we decided to take the leap!
But as in every good story, there are times of light and times of shadow and doubt along the way. We will be sharing more about the wild ride this school year has been each week, follow along and see how God has shepherded us, used us, and provided for us through this time!
Hi! I am Stephanie Brown, the Director of East Grand Community Services.

Walking is a great way to get in some low impact exercise, get around nearby offices in town, and help keep the environment clean by reducing pollution from cars and other motor vehicles. This wonderful mode of transportation is free and provides many health benefits as well. However, safety can be a concern when walking near busy streets and intersections. It is undoubtedly better to have never been injured in the first place, but if you have suffered an injury as a pedestrian, the San Jose pedestrian accident lawyers of Henshaw & Henry are here to help you get the compensation you deserve.
San Jose has made headlines year after year for shockingly high rates of pedestrian-vehicle collisions. To give you an idea of the size of the problem, pedestrian deaths made up more than half of all traffic fatalities in San Jose in 2008, 2011, 2013, and 2014. The rate of pedestrian fatalities in San Jose has increased steadily in the past seven years. Despite ordinances to help improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety, fatalities continue to rise. If you're one of many pedestrians with injuries after a collision in the Bay Area, contact the local San Jose pedestrian lawyers of Henshaw & Henry, PC. Civil laws could entitle you to compensation for your damages.
The obvious party to bring to court after a pedestrian accident is the driver of vehicle that struck you. There are, however, additional parties who may share fault for your recent accident. For example, a property defect may have made you step off the sidewalk and into the road. In this case, you may have a case against the owner of the property, or the City of San Jose. Any party that breached a duty to you, contributing to the incident, may be liable.
An experienced San Jose injury attorney from Henshaw & Henry, PC can help you file claims with the correct parties, and argue for just compensation. You could be eligible to recover your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and disability costs after a serious pedestrian collision. Drivers owe special duties of care to child pedestrians. If a driver struck your child in San Jose, contact us right away. Call (408) 533-1075 to get in touch with a Bay Area pedestrian accident attorney today.
What damages are available after a pedestrian accident?
In California, pedestrian accident victims can fight for full compensation or payment for 100% of crash-related damages. Damages can include past and future medical costs, lost wages, physical pain and emotional suffering, property damage, and punitive damages if the at-fault party was grossly negligent. A great San Jose pedestrian accident lawyer can maximize the damages a victim receives.
In general, pedestrians have the right-of-way. In some situations, pedestrians legally must yield to vehicles. California Vehicle Code §21950 states pedestrians don't have the right-of-way at places other than marked or unmarked crosswalks or intersections. If you cross the road where there is no intersection and/or crosswalk ("jaywalking"), you must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.
Can a pedestrian be at fault?
If a pedestrian stepped off the curb when it was illegal to do so, the pedestrian may be partially or fully at fault for the collision. California is a comparative negligence state, which means even at-fault victims can be eligible for compensation. The courts will reduce a plaintiff's compensation award by an amount equivalent to his or her percentage of fault for the pedestrian accident.
What is the pedestrian duty of care?
California Vehicle Code states that right-of-way does not relieve a pedestrian from his or her duties of care. These duties surround the individual's safety, such as making sure no vehicles are coming before stepping onto the road. Pedestrians cannot depart curbs suddenly to cross the path of a vehicle that's close enough to "constitute an immediate hazard". Pedestrians cannot intentionally hold up traffic while in a crosswalk or intersection.
What is the driver duty of care?
Drivers also have duties of care when maneuvering around intersections, crosswalks, and pedestrians. Drivers must reduce the speed of their vehicles and take any other necessary actions to safeguard the safety of pedestrians when approaching crosswalks. Failure to slow down or take other reasonable and prudent actions to avoid a collision is an act of negligence.
How do I prove a driver's fault?
In a pedestrian accident claim in California, it is the injured victim's burden to prove the driver's fault to obtain compensation. Proving fault can involve calling the police, getting an official police report, gathering evidence, taking photos, speaking to eyewitnesses, and hiring a firm of attorneys. You may also need to hire experts to testify on your behalf during a court case. A San Jose pedestrian accident lawyer can handle the burden of proof while you focus on healing.
An in-depth case evaluation at an attorney's office in San Jose can give you more specific information about what your case could be worth, who caused your accident, what you need to do next, and how to prove a driver's fault, and fight for full compensation. Initial consultations at Henshaw & Henry, PC, are always free, confidential, and no-obligation. Our pedestrian accident lawyers want to help injured pedestrian accident victims get the facts and resources they need to move forward. Contact us online or call (408) 533-1075 to start your free consultation.
Nationwide, the number of pedestrian injuries continued to rise through 2015. 5,376 pedestrian deaths were reported in 2015, the most recent year with full records available. California experienced an 11% decrease in pedestrian deaths overall in 2017. Pedestrian deaths accounted for 22% of all roadway deaths, however.
California pedestrians are somewhat more at risk because there are more quiet hybrid and electric cars than in other parts of the country and they can pose danger without warning. Pedestrians generally have the right-of-way in California. Cars are required to yield at corners and crosswalks, despite how such areas may be marked or whether traffic lights are present.
Sadly, many pedestrian deaths are the result of individuals not taking the proper precautions. One-third of such fatalities involved the pedestrian being legally intoxicated when struck by a vehicle. 75% of the fatalities occur when the pedestrian is crossing between intersections or jaywalking. Distracted walking injuries and deaths continue to rise as well, as pedestrians become absorbed in their mobile devices and fail to pay attention to the path in front of them.
Pedestrians aren't always to blame, of course. Drivers traveling at excessive speeds also account for a significant percentage of pedestrian accidents. Failing to obey traffic signals is also cited as a frequent cause of drivers striking pedestrians. Despite laws against the use of cell phones while driving and a nationwide effort to educate drivers on the dangers of distracted driving, drivers often simply fail to pay proper attention to the road.
In many auto/pedestrian fatal collisions in San Jose, the pedestrian was jaywalking. California laws do not automatically bar pedestrians from compensation in these types of accidents. Call our pedestrian accident attorneys to discuss your individual case in San Jose. California's pure comparative fault laws mean you could be eligible for compensation as long as you were not 100% responsible for the collision. It is always worthwhile to use your free consultation with Henshaw & Henry's injury attorneys to learn more about your rights before agreeing to a settlement, even if you believe you were partially at fault.
The first rule of walking is to be constantly aware of your surroundings. Wait until you are away from intersections if you need to answer a call or use a mobile device. Heightening visibility is always a good idea as well. Wearing bright colored clothing can help ensure that drivers see you when crossing the street. This is especially important if you are walking at night. Carrying a lit flashlight or wearing reflectors on your clothing can help ensure that drivers see you.
Always obey traffic laws for pedestrians. Use crosswalks or intersections any time you need to cross a street. Obey traffic signals, and don't try to beat the light to cross a busy street. Your life is worth the extra few minutes waiting until it is safe to cross.
As a pedestrian, it is always safer to assume that the driver doesn't see you. Assume a driver may not stop, and will hit you if you don't take the necessary steps to prevent an accident. Whenever crossing an intersection, it is better to make eye contact with a driver when possible.
If a driver fails to operate a vehicle responsibly, you may have grounds to seek compensation. You may able to seek damages for the injuries you have suffered, or for the death of a loved one struck through the driver's negligence. Your San Jose pedestrian accident lawyer will gather the evidence to strengthen your case and secure compensation for your damages. To learn how Henshaw & Henry can help, schedule your consultation with the pedestrian accident attorneys in San Jose by calling (408) 533-1075 or contacting us online.

Cecilia Villar Eljuri makes music that is unapologetic in both its sound and its message. She sings in English and Spanish alongside Latin beats and sparks of ingenuity on the electric guitar, switching as easily between a punchy growl and a sultry lilt as she does between the two languages. In conversation, she's warm and whip-smart, eager to talk about her politics but just as quick to dive into details of her records' production. Eljuri, who takes just her last name as her artistic moniker, traces the roots of this strong musical personality to her experience as an Ecuadorian immigrant living amidst the rock'n'roll world of New York City.
"It all began with my mother, who's a composer and pianist, and my father, who's an actor and radio personality," says Eljuri. "I was always surrounded by the arts, so it felt natural to make original music. By five years old I was writing my own melodies on piano, and I later switched to guitar. It was very natural."
"The mix is very organic," she says of her eclectic sound. "I grew up in a Latino household even though I was an immigrant—I came to New York when I was 18 months old. At home, my parents were listening to old Afro-Caribbean music and Afro-Latin music and Latin music, that was their culture since they grew up in Ecuador."
While Eljuri's music displays influence from her Ecuadorian roots and artistic parents, it wasn't until she came of age in New York City that she began to uncover hints of the sound she's spent years refining. She mixes Latin rhythms and Spanish songwriting with a brazen voice and lightning bolts of electric guitar that she connects with her musical discoveries on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
"I grew up in the scene on the Lower East Side—CBGBs, that whole scene" she says. "I grew up as a musician in that way too, and before I even got to play in those clubs I was listening to the Clash and the Ramones and everybody. It was like a really natural blend that surfaced in my veins that comes out in my music. That's my genuine sound."
Eljuri's third album, La Lucha, to be released this October, is perhaps her boldest yet. Its songs feature a bright, clear sound and dance fluidly between lyrics in both English and Spanish. She says that she felt a lot of personal and creative growth during the creation of La Lucha—the first time she has produced her own record—but it retains the same mix of styles.
"I feel like I've found my sound, but I still continue to evolve as an artist," she says. "This new album, La Lucha, is still my sound—these are my songs, my voice, my love of the guitar. But I tried to stretch myself sonically and deeper into my lyrics. I wanted this album to be more cinematic and broad-reaching, but it's still my sound."
That distinct sound and energetic performance style captivated Shahin Sayadi, artistic director of Halifax's Prismatic Festival, when he saw her at the Mundial festival in Montreal last year. "Mundial is an international festival, and going to places like that is one of the ways that I go to see works and pick the ones that I like," Sayadi says.
Eljuri will be performing alongside a range of other artists at Prismatic, including poets, filmmakers and performance artists. Sayadi says that the festival has always made an effort to present racialized and indigenous artists. This year the festival is presenting only women artists or woman-fronted groups. Sayadi dismisses criticisms of tokenism and instead focuses on the exciting quality of work that he sees from both new and established artists.
"By the time that we had gotten to the time to finalize the programming, we realized that everything we had on the table was women," he says. "We decided to keep it that way; we didn't say at the end of last year that we wanted to hit this equity mark and have the festival be all women. It didn't happen that way at all. It just speaks to the great body of work that is coming from indigenous women and women of colour artists across the country."
Prismatic, which has been presenting music, film and performance since 2008, will host Eljuri three times during the festival: Friday at the Company House, Saturday at Paul O'Reagan Hall in the Central Library and Sunday at the festival's final night Pier 21. Eljuri says that she connects with the festival's broader mandate and vision, but for her the final show holds a particular weight.
"I understand that one of the venues I'll be performing at is the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, where the festival's grand finale is," she says. "The significance of that for me is particularly special—I'm an immigrant, and I understand that that's where a lot of immigrants to Canada came through. For me, it'll be a celebration not only of immigrants but also those who open their arms to immigrants."
It's a fitting venue for an artist whose body of works encourages and celebrates gestures of compassion. Promotional materials for La Lucha feature the lyric "con mi guitarra, y la palabra, canto para la lucha," which translates to "with my guitar and my words, I sing for the fight." That fight is one of acceptance and empathy, and it sits at the heart of what Eljuri does as a musician.
"The message is really that we should not tolerate the status quo, and that we should rise above by using our voices and uniting towards a better world," she says. "My fight and your fight might not align completely, but we might mostly share that the world is, to some extent, not going in the right direction.
"To the extent that I can do what I can with my guitar, my voice and my songs to help inspire people to shift the direction away from the negative and towards the positive, that's what the fight is all about. Use your voice to fight for your rights, fight for representation, to not allow injustices and to celebrate tolerance."

How is the overall crime rate calculated?
A crime rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported crimes by the total population. The result is then multiplied by 100,000. For example, in 2014 there were 48,650 robberies in California and the population was This equals a robbery crime rate of 126.4 per 100,000.
How can you prove your innocence?
Present the police with your evidence.
Bring the exculpatory evidence with you, including the names and addresses of alibi witnesses.
The police may choose to arrest you at any point. Be prepared to be arrested.
If the state has already charged you with a crime, then presenting evidence to them will do little good.
How can you prove crime?
Proving Guilt Beyond A Reasonable Doubt: The 4 Elements Of A Crime Explained
Mental state (mens rea): Mens rea refers to the crime's mental elements, specifically those associated with the defendant's intent; the criminal act must be voluntary or purposeful.

Some of the common reasons for committing crime are:
Peer Pressure.
Drugs.
Family Conditions.
The Society.
Unemployment.
Why does crime exist?
A crime is a fact, a matter of law and it is not an opinion. The causes of crime are complex. Poverty, parental neglect, low self-esteem, alcohol and drug abuse can be connected to why people break the law. Some are at greater risk of becoming offenders because of the circumstances into which they are born.
Can I sue for being falsely accused?

What is the highest crime rate in the US?
Detroit, MI remains in the number one spot as the most violent city in America for the second straight year with a violent crime rate of 19.5 per 1,000 population, and the chance of being a violent crime victim is 1 in 51. The city reported 13,088 violent crimes last year, down 3% from the prior year….
Who gives the crime formula?
The formula was developed and patented in 1996 by criminologist Kim Rossmo and integrated into a specialized crime analysis software product called Rigel. The Rigel product is developed by the software company Environmental Criminology Research Inc. (ECRI), which Rossmo co-founded.
What are 4 elements of crime?
Under U.S. law, four main elements of a crime exist:
Mental State (Mens Rea) Mens rea is Latin for "guilty mind." The legal theory of mens rea refers to criminal intent.

49) later they were known as Colham or Lower Colham mill and Yiewsley mill respectively. 91) At its peak, about 1890, Broad's brick-field was working 18 to 20 stools and gave seasonal employment to between 400 and 500 men. 92) At this period gravel associated with the brickearth deposits was also being extracted west of Starveall Lane and in the extreme south-east of the parish. 93) The Hillingdon brickearth was becoming worked out at the beginning of the 20th century and the Stockley brickworks began to decline.
The Kingston Lane premises of Joseph Lowe (later Lowe & Shawyer Ltd.), founded in 1864, were expanded during the 1890s and in the early 20th century the firm was said to be the largest cut flower nursery in the country, specializing in the growing of chrysanthemums for the London market. 38) A nursery at Pield Heath was established in 1895 by Milton Hutchings, a friend of Joseph Lowe. 39) By 1913 there were six nurseries, covering approximately 65 a., in the area bounded by Cowley Road, Hillingdon Road, and Royal Lane, and four smaller nurseries covering almost 20 a. Despite the rapid in-filling of the parish after 1900 and the encroachment of building estates on agricultural land, market-gardening and farming on a small scale continued. 41) Hercies Farm, north of Sweetcroft Lane, and Hillingdon House Farm to the west were not sold to the local authority until 1922 (fn. Hence it is seldom possible to say with certainty that a medieval mill remained in continuous use until the 19th century or later. During the medieval period the two mills belonging to Colham were called Port mill and Bury mill: (fn.
In 1954 the buildings were bought from the millers E. The Kenilworth and Metal Powder companies then moved to an adjoining site in Trout Road. Ltd.) which was established in Bentinck Road in 1942 and later moved to a 6-acre site in Horton Road. moved into premises in High Street, Yiewsley, in 1952.
In 1965 the Middlesex Oil and Chemical Works employed approximately 100 persons. 108) A large number of smaller industries, chiefly engaged in manufacturing chemicals, plastics, and engineering components, were established at Yiewsley, and particularly in Trout Road, after 1930. In 1965 the company, which manufactured fibreboard corrugated containers, employed approximately 150 people. The firm then manufactured chiefly coaches and fire engines and employed approximately 350 people.
By 1960 there were more than forty such concerns in the area. By 1965, however, the demand for luxury coaches had declined and the firm employed only about 50 people in manufacturing glass fibre components for commercial vehicles. 111) Further north, at Cowley, the Cowley Bridge works of Cape Building Products Ltd. Initially the factory produced flint bricks only, but in 1949 the company also began to manufacture asbestos insulation boards.

Between 18 the population of rural Hillingdon increased by 469 to 2,252, and for the first time the number of families gaining a living by trade exceeded those employed in agriculture. 32) Further north horticultural specialization for the metropolitan market followed the establishment in 1838 of a railway link with London. 33) By 1853 the Victoria and Hillingdon Nurseries had been established at Uxbridge by Thomas Appleby, and Robert Pain, who advertised as successor to James Griffin, owned the Uxbridge Nursery at Hillingdon End. 34) In 1876 there were said to be 'numerous' orchards in the parish, (fn. 36) By 1894 the glass and orchards of the Uxbridge Nursery covered almost 40 a. 51) and in 1327 three water-mills called Crouch mill, Wode mill, and Town mill were included in an extent of Cowley Hall manor. 52) There was a windmill belonging to Colham manor in 1328 (fn. In 1649 Crouch mill and the adjoining millhouse were leased to Samuel Bonsey, a London mealman. The Victoria oil mills on the canal at Yiewsley were in existence before 1855.
Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 1971. 1690 the augmented demesne of Colham, all of which was apparently leased, totalled 536 a. 17) The manor was then said to be worth £931, including leasehold rents in Hillingdon worth £794, profits of court worth £20, and £68 from rents, tolls, and profits in Uxbridge. 18) By the 19th century the demesne had again been reduced to a little more than 300 a. 19) Whether changes in land utilization following the inclosure of parcels of common and open-field land from the 16th century onwards (fn. In 1821, when the population of the remainder of the parish exceeded that of Uxbridge, 243 families were said to be employed in agriculture. 35) and four years later there were nurseries in the Greenway, Kingston Lane, Harefield Road, Denham Road, and south of St. 53) and at least from the late 14th century the lord of Colham owned, in addition to his two mills south of Uxbridge, two watermills under one roof in the town. 54) A mill called Mede mill, also belonging to the lord of Colham, is first mentioned by name in 1409 when it was apparently horsepowered. 55) A wharf for Mede mill was being constructed in 1419 and thereafter it is described as a water-mill. 56) In the 1530s there were two mills, one driven by the Frays and the other by the Colne, near the Oxford road at the west end of Uxbridge. 57) In the 17th century a water-mill at Uxbridge belonged to Stanwell manor, (fn. Rabbs or Robbs mill (later Cowley mill), sited on the Frays stream at the junction of Cowley Road and the modern Cowley Mill Road, is first mentioned by name in 1636 (fn. of the rectorial glebe south of Colham Green leased to Samuel Pocock, were being worked for brickearth. By 1886 the works were occupied by Graham Walter & Co., a firm of oil cake manufacturers, who continued production there until about 1900. 96) The Hillingdon Varnish Works on the canal east of Yiewsley had been established by 1868, (fn. 98) when the chief industries of the Yiewsley area were described as brick-making, milling, tanning, rubber, varnish, and chemical works. 99) The Para rubber mill (established before 1898) (fn.
This free content was digitised by double rekeying. Until the exploitation of brickearth deposits in south Hillingdon began in the early 19th century the economic history of Hillingdon outside Uxbridge is essentially agrarian. 7) Seven years later the demesne contained 670 a., (fn. 14) By the 1380s money payments had entirely replaced labour services. 15) At this period the demesne was divided into two parts, the northern estate administered from a grange called Northall. sent to Uxbridge for malting and brewing, and 13 qr. 20) significantly retarded the growth of rural Hillingdon is uncertain. Ten years later, following the opening of brick-fields in south Hillingdon (fn. 58) and two unidentified mills at Hillingdon were included in grants of Swakeleys manor in Ickenham. 59) In the 18th century, and possibly earlier, one or more of the Uxbridge mills were possibly used for paper-making. 60) Town (later Frays or Mercer's) mill on the Frays at the west end of Uxbridge and Crouch mill, presumably identifiable with the two 14th-century mills of the same name, (fn. 64) although it had almost certainly been in existence since the Middle Ages. 66) By this date the Frays river powered at least five mills-Town or Frays mill, Rabbs mill, Cowley Hall mill, Yiewsley mill, and Colham mill-and before 1746 another mill on an arm of the Colne west of Uxbridge had apparently been built. 67) The demesne mill at Colham was separated from the manor in 1771 and sold to John Hubbard, a mealman, members of whose family had leased the mill and an adjoining close called Wharf Mead as early as 1690. 68) Hubbard's son John, Rector of Shepperton, owned Colham mill in 1800, (fn. All brick-field lessees paid a royalty on every thousand bricks and two tenants, as a condition of their lease of a total of 58 a., undertook to produce between them at least 5 million bricks a year. 86) By 1866 smaller brick-fields had been opened north-west of Colham Green and south of Uxbridge. 87) Eight years later, however, deposits near Uxbridge were said to have been exhausted. 88) In 1872 Samuel Pocock extended his Hillingdon brick-field southward into West Drayton parish, and between 18 he constructed a dock on a branch of the canal to serve the extended field. 89) Pocock had six stools in Hillingdon in 1877, when the bricks from the whole field were being fired in Hillingdon. 100) was sited on the canal north of Yiewsley, and a coconut fibre mill, which was converted to a leather works before 1913, stood north of Cowley Bridge. 101) The varnish and rubber factories were still operating in 1913. 102) An unidentified chemical works on the east side of Horton Lane which is shown on a map of 1864 (fn.
After Uxbridge emerged as a commercial centre in the early 12th century, economic expansion and most of the recorded social activity of the parish were concentrated there. 8) but during the remainder of the 14th century its area appears to have declined. of the 375acre demesne were in cultivation by 1327. 9) By the 1370s the gross yearly value of Colham manor averaged £238 (£145 net), including rents from two mills at Colham and two at Uxbridge, (fn. Each estate had a cowherd, swineherd, and ploughman, and a warrener was appointed for the whole manor. 16) In addition to the usual domestic and draught animals the stock included 60 cows, 100 pigs, and 400 sheep tended by a shepherd. In 1670 large areas of the parish were in grass supplying hay for the London market, (fn. 25) and the execution of the inclosure award in 1825, (fn. Cowley Hall mill on the Frays west of Cowley Hall, although not mentioned by name until 1733, (fn. 69) but by 1842 it had been acquired by the firm of Thomas Smith and Son. 70) There were said to be 13 corn mills in the neighbourhood of Uxbridge during the 1840s, (fn. in Pole Sturges meadow were leased for brick-working, and by 1836 a number of cottages for labourers in the brick-fields had been built south of the canal. 84) The extensive Hillingdon brick-field was said in 1853 to be a source of great wealth to Uxbridge. 103) was occupied in 1874 by Thomas Reynolds and Alfred White, manufacturing chemists.
Surviving population figures suggest that as early as the 14th century settlement also was concentrated in Uxbridge, and not until 1821 did the population of rural Hillingdon exceed that of the town. 1) In 1086 the manors of Hillingdon and Colham together contained land for 9 ploughs. 10) tolls of the twice-weekly market and the two statute fairs held at Uxbridge, (fn. Much of the demesne was in wheat, but small quantities of rye and oats were also grown. 21) and in the late 18th century the Colham leet still appointed a hayward for the manor. 22) But in 1801, when more than one-half of the total population was said to be employed in agriculture, (fn. 26) the population of Hillingdon had risen to 3,842, but only 14 families were said to be employed in agriculture. 27) The sudden slump in agricultural employment reflected changes in land utilization and the beginning of industrial expansion in and near Uxbridge. 28) From the 1820s onwards an increasing amount of arable was leased for the extraction of gravel and brickearth, (fn. 71) but the location of some of these is uncertain. 75) Cowley Hall mill and an unidentified mill called Kelsey's were burned down in 18 respectively, (fn. 81) Apart from milling there is no evidence of any industry in rural Hillingdon before the opening of the Middlesex section of the Grand Junction Canal at the end of the 18th century. From 1890 the premises were described as the chemical works of Alfred White and Sons. 104) and 1915 when the premises were opened by the Queen of Roumania as the Sonic engineering works. 107) was acquired in 1921 by two industrial concerns called Lactine Ltd. Ltd., whose premises were purchased in 1928 by the Kenilworth Chemical Manufacturing Co. The English Metal Powder Co., producing flake and atomized aluminium powders and aluminium pastes, began operations on the site in 1932.
Earl Roger had 3 ploughs and room for one more on his 8 demesne hides, and the villagers and Frenchmen shared 4 ploughs. 3) Commutation of services owed by tenants of Colham manor occurred during the 12th century. 4) By 1311 the customary obligations owed by many tenants had apparently been commuted for money payments. 5) In 1328, however, some tenants still rendered heavy services, including malting, brewing, threshing, shearing, mowing, harvesting, and the carriage of straw from the grange within the manor. 6) The continuation of such heavy labour services possibly resulted from difficulties in cultivating the extensive demesne. 11) and perquisites of court worth approximately £12. 12) The manorial demesne was said to contain 449 a. 29) and much of the remainder seems to have been turned over to grass. A map of 1842 shows eight corn mills on the Hillingdon stretch of the rivers. 72) Of these three were in Uxbridge, including Frays mill then in the possession of John Mercer, members of whose family had probably owned this mill and Drayton mill in West Drayton parish since about 1796. 73) In addition to the four ancient mills on the Frays stream a mill called Upper Colham mill, probably identifiable with the mill marked on a map of 1746, (fn. 76) but Cowley Hall mill had been rebuilt before 1895 when it was one of four flour mills still standing on the Frays south of Uxbridge. 77) The mill on the Colne west of the town was purchased by the Bell Punch Co. The establishment of facilities for bulk transport stimulated the exploitation of brickearth deposits in the south of the parish. Here George Constantinescu (1881-1965), also a Roumanian, conducted experiments on his wave transmission system of interrupter gear for machine guns firing through the propellers of aircraft. 105) The premises were taken over in 1920 by the Admiralty for use as an engineering laboratory specializing in experimental work for the Navy. In 1965 the firm employed approximately 80 persons.
In addition there was sufficient meadow for 3 ploughs and 4 oxen, pasture for the cattle of the vill, woodland sufficient to support 1,400 pigs, and one arpent of vineyard. 2) In 1086, as at all later periods, mills were an important source of income. In 1328 the demesne of Colham was said to comprise 325 a. in 1919 and incorporated in their industrial premises. 78) By 1934 only Rabbs or Cowley mill and Frays mill in Uxbridge were still certainly standing. 79) Rabbs mill was acquired by the local authority from Grimsdale and Sons, the Uxbridge brewers, in 1949. 80) Frays mill was modernized at the beginning of the 20th century and remained in use as a flour mill until the Second World War. Brick-making on a commercial scale probably began shortly after 1815 with the opening of small fields between Cowley Hall and Yiewsley. 82) In 1818 'several hundred' men were employed in the brick-fields south of Uxbridge. Stores, offices, and canteen buildings were added after 1920 and the number of persons employed on the site increased from 150 in 1920 to 350 in 1958. The premises in Trout Road originally occupied by the Metal Powder and Kenilworth companies were taken over after 1935 by the Middlesex Oil and Chemical Works Ltd., an associate company manufacturing oils, petroleum jellies, and resins.
in peas and beans, and the remainder in oats, rye, turnips, and potatoes. In the 19th century, and presumably earlier, Colham mill stood less than ½ mile west of Colham manor-house and about 1½ mile downstream from Yiewsley mill. 50) In 1265 Godfrey de Heddesore (probably Hedsor, Bucks.) was said to hold three mills in Uxbridge, (fn. Harris, of South Wharf, Paddington, and the field continued to be leased by Broad & Co. The company's land included, as well as the West Drayton field, about 100 a. Brickearth was still being extracted from Hide Field in 1913, but processing was apparently carried out only at the Stockley works in the north-east corner of West Drayton parish. 94) By 1930 the Stockley works were producing only 2 million bricks a year, and the brick-field was closed in 1935. 95) A number of other industries, about which little is known, were established during the 19th century along the canal in south and west Hillingdon.

Thanks for listing my blog! I hope anyone interested in hearing about life in the sticks of China will check it out.
I have read with great interest your blog and the 9 things about China life. You are doing a great job the best I can tell from the aspect of one that has only spent 9 days in China on a recruitment trip. I certainly experienced the spitting and hacking and can attest to that practice. It appears that I am going to be bid to assist the Operator Training department in Haiyang and would be living in the Expert (Expat) village. I would like to go into this adventure with some knowledge and am curious if I can bother you for some information on the actual apartments and accommodations available while I still have time to negotiate. Our interest would be specific to furnishings, linens, kitchen supplies, clothes care, housekeeping, medical access, food shopping, TV, internet, etc. Any information would be appreciated. I had the opportunity to see the facility but only from the outside gate, nothing on the inside. Anything would help. Thanks.

NASA: Enceladus has all the conditions for the origin of life
research/
Scientists at NASA reported the discovery of new evidence on the icy moon of Saturn, Enceladus conditions to sustain life. In escaping into space from the moon's surface geysers researchers have discovered a molecule of hydrogen. The presence of this chemical component may mean that it's time to "pack their suitcases" and head to the search Enceladus for extraterrestrial life, as the conditions on the satellite may be appropriate for microbial life.
"We found some components needed to create a habitable environment. The available data create a compelling argument in favor of the assumption about the existence of life on this satellite," — says Thomas Zurbuchen, assistant head of NASA.
For a new discovery should thank the spacecraft Cassini circling Saturn and Enceladus since 2004. Analysis of samples collected "Cassini" two years ago when he flew through escaping into space geysers of Enceladus, showed the presence of hydrogen molecules, which in turn may hint at the geothermal activity under the surface of an icy satellite. Near the sources of the earth's geysers, scientists too often find living organisms, the researchers suspect that the latter may also exist on Enceladus.
"We're not saying that Enceladus is life. We are only saying that the new finding further strengthens our belief in it" — explains Jonathan lunine of Cornell center for astrophysics and planetary science.
The Assumption that water under the icy surface of Enceladus, heated inner warmth of a satellite, circulates among the astronomical community for quite this. Detection of hydrogen in the collected samples confirms these conjectures. To explain this could be that in the depths of Enceladus, most likely, a chemical reaction between certain types of minerals and the result of these reactions is the production of hydrogen, which was discovered by Cassini.
The Presence of hydrogen can also hint at the presence of the moon's surface is methane produced from carbon dioxide under chemical process of methanogenesis. As scientists say, the presence of hydrogen and methanogenesis can provide food for microorganisms as it happens on Earth. That is on Enceladus may exist a simple life.
However, at a press conference convened by NASA representatives also noted that the amounts of hydrogen that were detected by satellite, can also talk about the fact that germs that could eat them, actually maybe not so much. But still an indisputable fact, the researchers note, is that Enceladus has the necessary basic elements to maintain a simple life.
"Detection of molecular hydrogen (H2) completes the set, which I would call a basic set of components required for the existence of life as we know it: liquid water, organic molecules, minerals, as well as available source of "free" energy", — explains Lanin.
"the Presence of H2 on Enceladus only once again reinforces the interest in its further exploration and search for life".
It Should be noted that this opening connected with the system of Saturn, not the end. Scientists working with the space telescope "Hubble", say they found new evidence indicating that on Europa (another moon of Saturn) geysers of water is also not uncommon, which makes this satellite a less attractive target for research and the search for life.
Recall that the "Cassini" is coming to an end and in September of this year, the orbiting spacecraft will release into the atmosphere of Saturn, which completes its existence.
