In this book, authors present current research on the implementation of reform mathematics in order to identify, explore, and evaluate five specific goals. Students were presented with problem solving activities that correlated with real-world situations. During this process, students tracked their confidence and growth as mathematicians. Next, the ways in which students learn to effectively engage in natural discussions related to the literature they are reading are examined. Barriers to the implementation of literature circles in the classroom are discussed, and ideas for successful execution are highlighted. Action research (AR) leaders' roles are explored through two studies, with the frame constituting of K-20 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and how participant engagement leads to AR project insight. The authors provide suggestions for future AR leaders. Afterwards, this compilation goes on to discuss how teaching Participatory Action Research (PAR) in MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning has led to focus on the responsibilities of action researchers and their obligations to the communities and places in which they work; and the importance of building the capacity of community members so that they can take control of the research being done about, with, and for them. The authors explore the way in which Curriculum Studies have addressed relevance and by proposing a framework for the study of curriculum relevance in general, which was adapted from literature on Science Education. The proposal considers three dimensions of relevance: societal, vocational, and individual. A chapter is included which fully addresses the analysis of one of the cases developed in the authors' previous work, in which students have to reconstruct their memories about the experiences they had during compulsory education in order to compare them with the experiences they have during the practicum. The authors share their concerns about the process of accompaniment, the process of student participation in the design and assessment of the subjects, and the search for situated and transformative learning in a university context. The book proposes the use of action research in higher education, especially in programs that use practical approaches such as residency programs in healthcare. The text also discusses similar themes such as andragogy, meaningful learning, active learning, and systemic thinking. Additionally, a teacher-driven approach for changes in teaching chemical bonding was chosen, inspired by the PAR model suggested by Eilks and Ralle. The authors determine that remote networking of a teacher action researcher with a PAR-driven community of practitioners and academic educational researchers helped strengthen the process of research and development and contributed to strengthen the teacher's continuous professional development. Subsequently, an application of participatory action research (PAR) conducted in Italy is illustrated. In describing the structure of action research, it can first be asserted that it is not a linear methodology of research but instead a cyclical process that proceeds through greater levels of complexity. In conclusion, the book aims to determine the relationship between the principles, approaches and applications of participatory action research (PAR) by using a case study of wood-carving workers. The authors maintain that although this project was successful in increasing health awareness of the workers and the community, long-term impact and sustainability of networking and activities need to be examined.

The Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple is a Hindu temple located near Aranmula, a village in Pathanamthitta District, Kerala, South India. It is dedicated to the God Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, who is worshipped as Parthasarathy (Arjuna's charioteer). Constructed in the Kerala style of architecture, it is one of the "Divya Desams", the 108 temples of Vishnu revered by the Alvar saints.

It is one of the most important Krishna temples in Kerala and is one of the five ancient shrines in Kerala, connected with the legend of the Mahabharata, where the five Pandavas are believed to have built one temple each; Aranmula is built by the Pandava prince Arjuna.

The sacred jewels, called Thiruvabharanam of Ayyappan are taken in procession to Sabarimala each year from Pandalam, and Aranmula Temple is one of the stops on the way. Also, the Thanka Anki, golden attire of Ayyappan, donated by the king of Travancore, is stored here and taken to Sabarimala during the Mandala season of late December.

Aranmula is also known for snake boat race held every year during Onam linked to the legends of the Mahabharata. The temple has four towers over its entrances on its outer wall. The Eastern tower is accessed through a flight of 18 steps and the Northern tower entrance flight through 57 steps leads to the Pamba River. The temples has paintings on its walls dating back to early 18th century.

The temple is open from 4 am to 11:00 am and 5 pm to 8 pm and is administered by Travancore Devaswom Board of the Government of Kerala.

Legend
The Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple is one of the five ancient shrines in the Chengannur area of Kerala, connected with the legend of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Legend has it that the Pandava princes, after crowning Parikshit as king of Hastinapura left on a pilgrimage. On arriving on the banks of Pamba River, each one is believed to have installed a tutelary image of Krishna; Thrichittatt Maha Vishnu Temple by Yudhishthira, Puliyur Mahavishnu Temple by Bheema, Aranmula by Arjuna, Thiruvanvandoor Mahavishnu Temple by Nakula and Thrikodithanam Mahavishnu Temple to Sahadeva. Legend has it that Arjuna built this temple, to expiate for the sin of having killed Karna on the battlefield, against the dharma of killing an unarmed enemy. It is also believed that here, Vishnu revealed the knowledge of creation to the god Brahma, from whom the Madhu-Kaitabha demons stole the Vedas.

The image of the temple was brought here in a raft made of six pieces of bamboo to this site, and hence the name "Aranmula" (six pieces of bamboo). There is another story, which says it was brought in a raft made of seven pieces of bamboo, out of which one got separated at a place 2 km upstream of the current Temple's location on the banks of Pamba. The place is called "Mulavoor Kadavu" meaning "river bank where the bamboo pole came off". There are still descendants of a family of Ayurveda physicians with great lineage by that name Mulavoor residing there. As per other legend, the place derives its name from arin-villai, a land near a river.

As per another legend, during the battle of Kurukshetra, the Kaurava prince Duryodhana had taunted Bhishma of not using his full might in fighting the Pandavas. This taunt by Duryodhana filled Bhishma with rage. Bhishma took a vow to fight with such ferocity the next day that Krishna himself would be forced to break his vow of not using a weapon during the war in order to protect Arjuna. On the ninth day of the battle, the Kauravas reigned supreme under the leadership of Bhishma, when Krishna motivated Arjuna to take initiative and vanquish his foe. Bhishma was unparalleled with the use of celestial weapons in such a manner that Arjuna could not counter the onslaught. Arrows after arrows fired from Bhishma's bow breached the defenses of Arjuna and inflicted wounds to his body by penetrating his armour. The string of Arjuna's bow, the Gandiva was snapped during the battle. Seeing Arjuna's plight,  Krishna jumped down in rage, and took up his discus charging towards Bhishma. Bhishma was overfilled with joy and surrendered to Krishna. Meanwhile, Arjuna beseeched Krishna not to kill Bhishma, as it would have been against Krishna's vow to take up arms in his battle. It is believed that it is this image of Krishna that is enshrined here, with a discus. This symbolizes the Lord's act of compassion to both his devotees on either side of the battle. Krishna broke his vow to protect Arjuna and also to fulfill the promise that his ardent devotee Bhishma had made.

Krishna presiding here in the Vishvarupa form is considered as "Annadana Prabhu" (The Lord who provides food) along with other temples like Vaikom Mahadeva Temple and Sabarimala. It is believed that those whose Annaprashana is performed at the Aranmula Parthasarathy temple would never be affected by the pangs of poverty throughout their life.

Aranmula Mirror is also related to the history of this temple. The king of Travancore wanted to donate a crown made of rare metal to the temple and he found a rare combination of copper and lead. It is believed as per the tradition that preparing the metal polished mirror was produced only by a family. In modern times, the College of Fine Arts have started producing it on commercial scale.

Architecture

The temple is built in Kerala style architecture, which is common in all temples in the South Indian state of Kerala in eastern axis. The temple has an elevated structure reached by a flight of 20 steps. The temple has a two-storeyed gopuram or a gateway tower, with the upper storey having wooden trails covering the Kottupura (a hall of drum beating during festivals). A rectangular wall around the temple, called Kshetra-Madilluka, pierced by the gateways, encloses all the shrines of the temple. The metal plated flagpost or Dwajasthambam is located axial to the temple tower leading to the central sanctum and there is a Deepastamba, which is the light post. Chuttuambalam is the outer pavilion within the temple walls. The central shrine and the associated hall is located in a rectangular structure called Nallambalam, which has pillared halls and corridors. Between the entrance of Nalambalam to the sanctum, there is a raised square platform called Namaskara Mandapam which has a pyramidal roof. Thevrapura, the kitchen used to cook offering to the deity is located on the left of Namaskara Mandapa from the entrance. Balithara is an altar is used for making ritualistic offering to demi-gods and the festive deities. The central shrine called Sreekovil houses the image of the presiding deity, who is a standing four-armed Lord Vishnu worshipped as Parthasarathy. It is on an elevated platform with a single door reached through a flight of five steps. Either sides of the doors have images of guardian deities called Dvarapalakas. As per Kerala rituals, only the main priest called Thantri and the second priest called Melshanthi alone can enter the Sree Kovil. The central shrine has a circular plan with the base built of granite, superstructure built of laterite and conical roof made of terracotta tile supported from inside by a wooden structure. The lower half of Sree Kovil consists of the basement, the pillar or the wall, called stambha or  and the entablature called  in the ratio 1:2:1, in height. Similarly the upper half is divided into the neck called griva, the roof tower called shikhara and the conical kalasam (made of copper) in the same ratio. The roof projects in two levels to protect the inner structure from heavy rains during monsoon. The roof of the temple and some of the pillars have lavish wood and stucco carvings depicting various stories of ancient epics, Ramayana and Mahabharatha. The outer walls around the sanctum have a series of wooden frames housing an array of lamps, which are lit during festive occasions. The temples have paintings on its walls dating back to early 18 century. The image of the presiding deity is  tall, making it the tallest among the idols of all Krishna temples in Kerala. Krishna is in Vishvarupa pose, the one he depicted to Arjuna during the Mahabharatha war. It is thus considered to be in fierce form. As per one legend, Arjuna is believed to have built the temple in Nilakal Narayanapuram and later brought to Aranmula in a raft made with six bamboo. In the second precinct, there are shrines of Sastha, Yakshi, Nagaraja and Erangavil Bhagavathy. There is another shrine for Balarama in the lower shrine, considered to be older than the main shrine.

Aranmula Temple Utsavam
The annual Utsavam commences on the Atham Nakshatra in the month of Makara and concludes ten days later on the Thiruvonam day.
Garuda Vahanam Ezhunellippu is the main event during this ten day festival. This event falls on the fifth day of the annual festival and is also called Anchaam Purappadu. The deity is taken out from the sanctum sanctorum mounted on Garuda. It is believed that all 33 million Devas (the elements of nature) and Gandharvas would be present in the temple at that time to witness Lord Krishna riding on his vahana, the Garuda.

Other Festivities

As per Hindu legend in Mahabharata, Arjuna, one of the Pandavas was returning with the image of Krishna after along penance. He faced a huge flood in the Pamba river. A poor low caste Hindu helped him cross the river with a raft made with six bamboos. It is believed that the Aranmula Boat Race is celebrated annually on the Pamba river to commemorate the poor Hindu. The race is held on the last day of the Onam festival when snake boats around  with four helmsmen, 100 rowers and 25 singers participate. The boats move in pairs to the rhythm of music. After the watersport, there is an elaborate feast in the Aranmula temple. The festival is the largest boat race festival held in Kerala and is attended by thousands of visitors. The festival was largely a religious one until 1978, when the Government of Kerala declared it a sports event, but during 2000, the religious festivities were restored.

The Malayalam month of Meenam witnesses a festival where Aranmula Parthasarathy is taken in a grand procession on the Garuda mount to the Pampa river bank, where an image of the Bhagawati from the nearby Punnamthode temple is brought in procession for the Arattu festival.

Another festival celebrated here is the Khandavanadahanam celebrated in the Malayalam month of Dhanus. For this festival, a replica of a forest is created in front of the temple with dried plants, leaves and twigs. This bonfire is lit, symbolic of the Khandavana forest fire of the Mahabharata.

The heads of three Brahmin households in Aranmula and nearby Nedumprayar follow a tradition of fasting on Thiruvonam. The tradition reportedly dates back to more than two centuries. It is believed that once a Brahmin made a vow to feed one pilgrim every day. Pleased with his devotion, the presiding deity appeared to him. From then on, the Brahmin was overjoyed and he made it a custom to feed to conduct a feast every year, which is practised in modern times. The feast is conducted after the boat race.

Religious importance
The temple is revered in Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the 7th–9th century Vaishnava saint, Nammalvar in one hymn. The temple is classified as a Divyadesam, one of the 108 Vishnu temples that are mentioned in the book. Thirumangai Alvar have sung in praise of the perumal in this temple with eleven Pasurams, numbered at 2843-53. Thulabaram, the practice of weighing oneself against material and donating it to the temple is practiced here. The Vanni tree in the temple is believed to have medicinal values. The fruits of the Vanni tree are also weighed in Thulabaram and also used for curing diseases of the devotees. It is the place where Brahma is believed to have worshiped Vishnu to retrieve the Vedas from the two demons named Madhu and Kaitibha. The image of Parthasarathy is believed to have been installed by Arjuna himself. The temple is used to store the jewels of the  Sabarimala temple.

Temple administration
The temple is open from 4 am to 11:00 am and 5 pm to 8 pm and is administered by Travancore Devaswom Board of the Government of Kerala. The king of Travancore maintained the golden dress in the temple, offered to Sabarimala Ayyapan Temple. The practise of offering the golden dress to Sabarimala temple annually is done by the board.

GLOBAL IMPACT | The Global Surveillance Leaks 3 years Later
By Pulkit Kashyap | April 28, 2016
More on Blogs
When I was a Junior in high school I loved watching this show called Person of Interest. The show (still airing now on CBS) while for the most part a procedural, was also part sci-fi. In fear of terror attacks post 9-11 the government asked a developer, one of the show's main characters, to develop a machine that could surveil everything, everywhere. The machine has access to all meta data regarding your phone calls, emails, facebook messages, tweets, tumblr posts and so forth in order to determine who will be planning or involved with terror attacks so they can be preemptively stopped. So, in June 2013 when the PRISM program leaked I was amazed by a few things:
The machine is real
Jonathan Nolan (the writer of Person of Interest) is a genius

Personally, I'm not the type of person to believe that the government is out to get me. I'm not a 1984-esque conspiracy theorist about "Big Brother" with ideas about how the NSA is equivalent to the Stasi, but the fact that the NSA had actually managed to build a machine that could track everything we did- without it leaking on its own- was scary. The realization that my privacy on the internet had always just been a facade, that deleting my history from Chrome did nothing to hide my internet presence, completely changed the way my 17-year old mind thought of the internet. All of a sudden, I wasn't anonymous. There would always be the suspicion that maybe, just maybe, everything and anything I did on the internet could be connected back to me. That being said, I didn't really have anything to hide, but for the thousands or millions of others who did, the revelations were potentially earth-shattering. For the thousands of people who cheat on their spouses, the sudden fear that the government could blackmail them was no longer fiction from an Orwellian text, but was now a reality. For the thousands that illegally download under false monikers the fear that maybe, just maybe, they could still be tracked, fined or jailed was now a possibility. So, while I personally wasn't too affected, I expected some big changes to happen. I expected people to go out and protest for their right to privacy, not necessarily wearing V-for Vendetta style masks as with the Occupy Protests since our government is actually pretty nice, but through some sort of demonstrations nevertheless.
Three years later, I'm a little surprised that the world doesn't really feel any different.
Back when the leaks happened, 47% of Americans surveyed by Pews believed that the government had gone too far in restricting their civil liberties. The same poll stated that only 35% of Americans believed that the government hasn't gone far enough to protect the country. This was a massive flip from 2010 when the opposite had been true. This switch in public opinion was used as justification for arguments to curb the NSA, to call for changes in FISA, and to restore our right to privacy. ACLU representatives, lawyers representing public interest and just plain old people took this as a sign that their voice could finally be heard, that they could evoke change. Politicians like Senator Wyden came out in support of reform and it seemed to the public as if their swift change in opinions would lead to a real change in the decision making regarding mass surveillance. And to a major extent change did happen. In June of 2015 almost two years after the leaks Congress passed a bill which effectively suspended the metadata collection program and revamped the FISA court to also include a panel of experts so it was no longer just the Government's voice being heard.
This is what everyone wanted, but still it doesn't feel right. Edward Snowden proclaimed in 2013 that he leaked the files and became a traitor to the United States because he wanted to start a debate at home. He wanted people to go and talk about their right to privacy and make sure the opinion of the public was seen in the decision making of the secretive FISA courts or other congressional offices. He wanted us to regain our privacy. Legislation was later passed, privacy was supposedly restored and the ACLU chalked it off as a victory.
But did he actually succeed?
Another poll done by Pews done in December of 2015 reads almost completely differently from the one in 2013. Now, 56 percent of Americans believe that the government has not done enough to protect the country and only 28 percent believe that the Government has gone too far in restricting civil liberty. This data is actually very similar to a poll done in 2010 which marked historical highs in American opinions regarding the belief that the government has not done enough to protect the country. In the minds of the American people terrorism is still as large a threat as it was immediately post 9-11. The polls are as much a reflection of the state of the world as they are the minds of the American people. In 2013 terrorism at least felt like it was on a downward spiral from the perspective of a kid in the Midwest. In 2016 (and late 2015 for that matter), the world became far more complex. Groups like ISIS have destabilized the Middle East and led multiple terror strikes against the West in Europe. This coupled with the rise of Islam as a religion and massive refugee flows from the Middle East into Europe have created an irrational fear in people that they are no longer safe.
I have a sneaking suspicion that we've come to realize over the past few years that in the face of terror, no matter what we say, we would rather be safe and secure than necessarily free. As Americans we'll of course to our dying breath proclaim that we want freedom and liberty over everything else, but underneath all that I think what we all want is to just be able to live in a world that is safe for our brothers and sisters, parents, kids and friends. Snowden won in the courts, he won in the press, but his debate never stood a chance from the moment he leaked those files in June 2013. When I was a little kid, my mom used to tell me a lot about how when trust is lost, it sometimes can't ever be regained. It was a simple lesson, but I think it applies back here. No matter how secure my internet browsing experience may be by the word of legislation or a company's reassurances, I won't ever truly feel like I have privacy again. There is always going to be a nagging sensation that I'm being watched, or my information is being stored and with that I and other Americans have just had to accept that privacy might be a dead concept.
Our intelligence sector is really secretive. A lot is kept from us and yeah, we've been told publicly that meta-data collection has been put to a halt, and maybe it has. But if it came out that the program has continued (maybe in the same way, maybe in a new altered form), I do wonder what the reaction would be.

CHANG | Evaluate, Then Release
By Darren Chang September 9, 2018
The whole shebang of politically aberrant events happened this week from the protests at a Supreme Court confirmation hearing to a former President speaking out against the current commander in chief. In all this drama, the theme of secrecy tied together the New York Times Op-Ed written by an anonymous administration official and Sen. Cory Booker's (D-NJ) grandstanding "Spartacus" moment during the Kavanaugh hearing.
Letter to the Editor: Kotlikoff, in defense of shared governance and the campus code
By Opinion Department April 18, 2017
Dean Knuth's role as Chair of the Working Group, and filing of an incident report of a potential investigation of the campus code after being approached by concerned student members of the AFAWG, have made her the focus of attacks that are both unfortunate and undeserved. Over the past few weeks she has been subjected to accusations by advocates of a student who violated the confidential processes of the Working Group, in many cases misrepresenting the facts of the referral and consistently mischaracterizing the motives and goals of the students, faculty and administrators who spent many hours working to improve Cornell's undergraduate financial aid policies.

Toronto and Vancouver existing home sale numbers pushed up the national average in the last quarter, July to September.
Canadian housing market rebounds
Toronto's existing home market surprised economists with a better-than-expected resurgence in June. But a look at major markets across Canada shows that other cities across the country also had a similar — if not more spectacular rebound in that month.
By Tony WongContributing Columnist
Mon., July 13, 2009timer1 min. read
Toronto's stellar 27 per cent increase in sales in June compared to last year, was outdone by sales in Greater Vancouver and Calgary according to figures compiled by ReMax Ontario Atlantic Canada in a report today.
"More balanced market conditions have emerged, effectively ending the stranglehold that buyers had on the market over the past six to eight months," said ReMax. "Low interest rates and increased affordability have served to stimulate market activity."
ReMax's research is a preview of the Canadian Real Estate Association's national figures. Those numbers, expected out tomorrow, give a snapshot of how the entire Canadian market is performing.
Vancouver was the top performer in June with sales up by an eye-catching 76 per cent. The city recorded the second-best month on record with 4,259 sales, compared to 4,333 sales in June of 2005.
While the market is largely balanced, bidding wars have emerged in some areas. In Kitsilano, about 50 per cent of housing is selling in multiple offers.
In Calgary, sales of 3,047 homes last month resulted in a 28 per cent jump from the same time last year.
"With increasing competition among first time buyers the supply of starter homes is tightening," said ReMax.
In third place Toronto, the 10,955 units sold in June came close to the historic record of 11,146 units of May 2007. Still, having the second-best month ever in terms of sales is not a bad feat in the middle of a recession.
Inventory is down about 30 per cent from the same time last year. Fewer listings and a lower supply of available homes has resulted in multiple offers in some areas. The strongest demand is for homes in the $300,000 to $600,000 range, says ReMax.


Rescue Me. Chicago Fire. Emergency! Backdraft. Ladder 49.
These are just a handful of firefighting shows and flicks we've all fallen prey to watching. While entertaining to watch, they also have their teaching-moment downfalls.
We asked our fans on Facebook to share some inaccuracies they've seen while watching a TV show or firefighting movie. Here are some of their responses.

A "search controller" is the thing behind a UISearchBar on iOS that is responsible for showing and hiding the "search results" screen (typically a table view) and updating the results in response to changes to the search term, character by character.
Let's go through the setup of a very simple search controller for an iOS app. It will display a list of Swift keywords in a table and filter them in response to text entered into the search bar.
What's unexpected about UISearchController is that you have to install its searchBar into the view hierarchy. You can't connect it to an existing UISearchBar defined in a storyboard.1 If you're just adding the search bar to the top of a table, like in Apple's sample code2, you can just make it the tableHeaderView. But just about any other situation is going to have to deal with auto layout.
We're going to reserve some space in the UI using a "container" view3. This will show where the search bar will eventually be in the storyboard to give an idea of how it will fit with other UI elements. Also, constraints can be tied to the container view in the storyboard so that none need to be installed in code.
The search results controller is just a simple UITableViewController with each cell displaying a single Swift keyword.
A UISearchController must be set up in code and it's constructor takes a single argument - a UIViewController which is going to display the search results. Here we pass in a reference to our searchResultsController stored in a property.
This method is called whenever the text changes in the search bar. The current text can be accessed through the searchController parameter. Any object can handle these updates.
It's common to also make the search results controller the searchResultsUpdater and have it conform to the UISearchResultsUpdating protocol. That configuration causes the search results controller to update itself with each change to the search term. However, we're not going that route because of a special case we want to handle: a custom "empty results" view. Attempting to add a subview to a UITableView is fraught with peril, so we're not going to do that.
Instead the "main" view controller will be the searchResultsUpdater and it will pass the current searchTerm into the search results controller. The search results controller will take care of filtering and return the number of results displayed.
The "main" view controller will use the number of results displayed to determine when to show and hide the "no results" view.
This emptyResultsView is defined in the storyboard and initially hidden.
The only other interesting aspect of this sample project is how the Swift keywords are escaped to serve as enum member values. Sure, it's easier to store them as strings but where's the fun in that?
UISearchController is not coupled with the presentation of the search results, so we are free to use any kind of view controller to handle it. At 360|iDev 2015, @jeremiahgage presented using a UISearchController with a UICollectionView which is a fabulous example especially since UICollectionView is so highly customizable.


Plumes of smoke, geysers of orange and yellow, fields of red lava rushing over rocks. These are likely what springs to mind when you think of a volcano, dazzling yet devastating. What happens when the eruption is over, though? In 1973, Heimaey, an Icelandic island, was left with a town flooded by ash, the smoldering black particles piles so high that they nearly covered cars completely and reached toward the rooftops.
And as the Kilauea volcano erupts, neighborhoods on Hawaii's Big Island who don't lose everything face more of a recovery and not a cleanup, he said.
On April 30, the Puu Oo crater floor on the Big Island began to collapse, triggering earthquakes in Hawaii. Small cracks started appearing in several neighborhood over the next couple of days, and officials warned residents they'd need to evacuate. Since then, several fissures have opened, and dozens of homes have been destroyed. Earlier this week, a massive ash plum exploded from the summit, triggering a hazardous air alert. Now, the volcano is erupting, spewing ash and smoke into the air.
While Kilauea is one of the United States' most famous volcanoes and has been active for years, residents on the island didn't receive much of a warning of the impending increase in activity.
Each volcano is unique, Valentine noted, and warning times may vary. And when it comes down to it, there's not much that can be done to volcano-proof your home.
The only thing to do is evacuate, the experts say, or even better, identify high-risk areas and not build there in the first place. But that's advice that doesn't do the people on the Big Island any good right now.
Even for homes not in the lava's path, volcanoes can still do damage. If there are some advanced indicators — such as earthquakes or volcanic gas emissions — homeowners can take some steps to protect against volcanic ash.
Closing doors and windows, putting damp towels in the space between doors and floors, taping drafty windows, and storing electronics in sealed plastic bags are all recommended in the International Volcanic Health Hazard Network's preparedness pamphlet. It also suggests disconnecting drain pipes from gutters so drains won't clog, while still emptying ash and water onto the ground.
"For volcanic ash, building with high pitched roofs can be beneficial as it allows volcanic ash to slide off rather than settle on the roof," Hayes said.
Eruptions can last years, so it sometimes isn't safe for residents to return home and start cleanup for a very long time. Because of toxic gases volcanoes can release, "the best approach is to stay away" until authorities give the all-clear, Valentine said.
When they do return, the task is often monumental and requires the entire community. After Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980, many local organizations realized they didn't have ash-removal plans in place. Many people who survived that eruption recall that ash removal was a big hassle.
In addition to the volcanic ash, lahar — a muddy mixture that can move quickly down a volcano — can damage homes, infrastructure, and farmland. The resulting debris might be hazardous (if the buildings contained asbestos, for example) and needs to be removed if residents are going to rebuild in the area, said Hayes, as many of the over 5,000 evacuees did on Heimaey island. Authorities removed over 35 million cubic feet of tephra, or rock fragments and ash from the eruption.
At the foot of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, firefighters used 40,000 gallons of water to clear ash from the roof of Olafur Eggertsson's farm after the 2010 blast. More than 50 volunteers used shovels to remove the debris.
Experts often use bulldozers and dump trucks for this phase of cleanup.
"Lightly wetting ash and then using a broom to sweep up might be useful, as sweeping dry ash can cause the ash to become airborne," Hayes said, though there may be water rationing rules in effect. "Small amounts of ash (less than five millimeters thick) can often be left on lawns or in gardens to mix into the soil," he added.
Residents eager to return to their homes are staying in tents, waiting for the lava to cool.
Unlike dust, volcanic ash is gritty and can scratch surfaces you're attempting to sweep or wipe down. It can cause respiratory issues, so it may be beneficial to wear a facemask. The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network has some more information about facemasks, which is useful because Googling volcano facemask tends to bring up beauty-related results. Brooms, shovels, and wheelbarrows are all useful tools for homeowners participating in cleanup. If you're going to use a vacuum, you'll want to ensure it has a good filtration system and isn't blowing ash back out.
What makes people want to return home after such a devastating event?

Randy Houser Selling Breathtaking Tennessee Mansion [Pictures]
Cory Holman, Compass in the Gulch
Randy Houser is selling his mansion outside of Nashville, and from the looks of the pictures, it's worth every dime of the asking price.
The 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom French country-style house also has two half-baths, with footage totaling 7,093 square feet. It's listed at $1,499,000, which breaks down to monthly payments of $6,539 with a down payment of $299,800, according to the listing with Cory Holman of Compass in the Gulch.
That price includes a living room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, as well as an entertainer's kitchen that features two built-in refrigerators, three dishwashers, an icemaker, warming drawer, double ovens and a separate butler's kitchen. The property also boasts an outdoor kitchen and screened-in porch with a fireplace, a seven-car garage, a laundry room with a separate pet grooming station and more.

The master bedroom has a walk-out porch and a massive master bathroom, and there's also a large walk-in closet. The house sits on more than 13 very secluded acres in Rutherford County, about an hour away from Nashville. The fully-fenced property also includes a pond and a party barn.
Holman tells Nashville's Tennessean newspaper that Houser and his wife, Tatiana, decided to sell the house and move to Nashville so they could be closer to family after the birth of their son, Huckleberry, in June.
Houser released his most recent album, Magnolia, in January. The album's first single is "What Whiskey Does."

Vancouver Queer Film Festival
When: Aug. 9-19
Yen Tan's moving 1985 opens 30th annual Vancouver Queer Film Festival Back to video
Where: Various locations
Tickets: queerfilmfestival.ca/tickets-passes
This year's Vancouver Queer Film Festival (VQFF) opens with filmmaker Yen Tan's stunning and powerful film 1985.
The film tells the story of a closeted young man named Adrian (Cory Michael Smith) who goes home for the Christmas holidays and tries to tell his conservative and deeply religious family that he is dying.
Tan set the film in 1985, a year when AIDS was at an epidemic level and when he himself was a scared kid in Malaysia figuring out that he was gay and that he was gay in a world that was being decimated by a deadly and at that time unmanageable disease.
"I was 10 years old in 1985 and I think that is the year I first had the inclination that I was gay," said Tan, who came out at age 21. "It was an iconic year. That's the year when Rock Hudson died of AIDS and it was in the headlines. I remember being 10 and having this sense of knowing that you are gay and then it's 'oh gosh then I'm going to die from it' I just made a direct connection. I didn't think it was two different things and in that sense that impacted my sexuality and what I thought of it. I think that is the deeper reason I did the film. In some ways it was like going back in time and telling myself there's a distinction between being queer and having (the) life that has a lot of pain, suffering and oppression."

While there is a heaviness laid over this film, pain is not the whole of its parts. There is joy in some of the corners of Adrian's world, especially as old wounds begin to heal.
The film also stars Virginia Madsen and Michael Chiklis as the parents and Aidan Langford as the kid brother who loves Madonna, theatre and his older brother. It's the relationship between the brothers that offers the most hope in this story with no easy ending.
Shot in black and white, Tan's film is one of 70 in the program for this year's VQFF, showing between Aug. 9-19 at various venues around Vancouver. The film has the honour of being the official opening film, with Tan in the house for the screening and a post film chat at the Vancouver Playhouse. The film will have a repeat showing on Aug. 10.
"Amber Dawn and I loved watching 1985, we cried throughout" said Anoushka Ratnarajah, who is co-artistic director of VQFF along with Amber Dawn. "Opening the festival with a film that reflects upon a particular crisis in queer history I think is important to us. To know that this is something that our communities had to deal with in a very real way and still do actually — HIV isn't gone. Also the film is filmed in black and white on 16 mm film and that's something that never happens anymore. That is really, really special aesthetically. I think that will get people talking. Film nerds and film buffs will be really excited that it is sort of filmed like an archival film and there is something about that."

To date, 1985 has hit some other film festivals and the reviews have been positive. But for Tan the win has come in the conversations that the film inspires.
"It's been really meaningful is the way I would describe it," said Tan about the festival experience. "I have met a lot of people who have shared with me their stories and what they went through and how grateful that a story like this is being told."
Telling those stories is something Tan sees as his responsibility as a queer artist.
"We lost a generation of people who are not around to tell us what they went through. I think anything that gives them their voice back is a good thing," said Tan about the people that died at the height of the AIDS epidemic. "It's such a manageable disease. It's not a big thing anymore, but we need to honour the history of it."
History can be considered a theme at this year's festival as 2018 marks three decades of VQFF.
"I think our artistic programming is really stellar and has continued to grow in its quality and nuance and scope," said Ratnarajah. "I also think we have lasted this long because our community stood by us. Our audiences have grown and shifted but really the festival exists because we have an incredible pillar of community support."
Ratnarajah said another factor is that in the last couple of years the representation of queer and trans people in film and TV has grown and so has the appetite for their stories.
People are realizing that these are not just queer stories, but human stories and they are reminded that art is about empathy. You don't have to watch a story that directly relates to your own experience in order to identify with it or care about it.
"Art and storytelling, if it is good, will touch you no matter what it is about," said Ratnarajah, adding that art is key in opening minds and exposing us to the bigger world out there.
"I really hope that people who always just love film and love storytelling and are interested in the experiences and lives and thoughts of people they don't interact with on a regular basis, folks that have open minds and open hearts, will also come to our festival," said Ratnarajah.
The festival this year has a strong lineup of films from 15 countries. This year's film spotlights include: RISE: Youth Spotlight, Trans Women on Screen Spotlight, decolonizing discipline(s): a two-spirit showcase and Spotlight on The Artist, which explores what makes queer film subversive and important.
There will be a whopping 27 local directors attending the festival with their films screenings. Such a strong and local showing led the festival to this year curate the brand new program The Coast is Genderqueer. This short film program is made up of pieces that showcase local trans, genderfluid and non-binary stories.
"This year we found so many submissions from gender queer and trans filmmakers and also so many submissions that were about local queer and gender non-conforming youth that we were able to create this entire shorts program the Coast is Genderqueer. We are really excited," said Ratnarajah.
One of the films in the program is Beauty, an NFB produced 23-minute film from Vancouver's Christina Willings. The film, which screens on Friday, August 17, at 5:00 p.m. at SFU's Goldcorp Centre for the Arts looks at the lives of five gender creative kids. What makes this film a heartstring tugger is the stories are told by the kids themselves. Ranging in age from 10 to 18 at the time of filming, each kid is an inspiration.

"I have been thinking about gender issues for a long time," said Willings, who came out as a lesbian in 1981 and met the kids from Montreal and the Lower Mainland through friends and support groups. "These kids were so innocent, so pure that they were not influenced by any current school of thought or anything. I just wanted to capture that. To amplify their voices, because I feel like that kind of honesty has the potential to cut underneath resistance that is based in fear."
Willings' film is not out to scare people into supporting these kids, but to gain an understanding of their wants and needs.
"(I wanted) to have something to influence people who may be in a doctor's office looking at a child's file and trying to decide 'am I going to call this child by the name that is on the file, Johnny, or am I going to look at this child who obviously presents in their affirmed gender and ask them what they would like to be called? Am I going to call them out as the wrong gender in front of all the patients in this office or am I going to reach for compassion and ask them questions? If I am in a position to change a child's vital statistics what decision am I going to make?'"
Beauty is a touching and honest film that is a wonderful part of a VQFF program that delivers bigger movies like the Miseducation of Cameron Post starring Chloë Grace Moretz alongside smaller pieces that will never land in a multiplex but will in the case of festivals like this one get a chance to be experienced by a room full of people.
"There is always value in sitting in the dark and crying with other people, especially in our days when empathy is not a thing anymore," added Tan. "I think there is not enough empathy in the world so anything that encourages that is always a good thing in my book."

People who eat higher levels of dietary fiber and whole grains have lower rates of non-communicable diseases compared with people who eat lesser amounts, while links for low glycaemic load and low glycaemic index diets are less clear. Observational studies and clinical trials conducted over nearly 40 years reveal the health benefits of eating at least 25g to 29g or more of dietary fiber a day, according to a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in The Lancet. ...continue reading "Eating Lots of Fiber Has Health Benefits"
Eating at least three servings of whole grains every day could lower your risk of death, according to new research in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation. Although dietary guidelines around the world have included whole grains as an essential component of healthy eating patterns, people aren't eating enough, according to the analysis. In the United States average consumption remains below one serving a day, despite the long-time recommendation of three servings a day.
In the first meta-analysis review of studies reporting associations between whole grain consumption and death, researchers noted that for about every serving (16 grams) of whole grains there was a: 7 percent decreased risk in total deaths; 9 percent decline in cardiovascular disease-related deaths; and 5 percent decline in cancer-related deaths.
The more whole grains consumed, the lower the death rate. According to researchers, when three servings (48 grams) were consumed daily the rates declined: 20 percent for total deaths; 25 percent for cardiovascular deaths; and 14 percent for cancer-related deaths.
"Previous studies have suggested an association with consumption of whole grains and reduced risk of developing a multitude of chronic diseases that are among the top causes of deaths, although data linking whole grain intake and mortality were less consistent," said Qi Sun, M.D., Sc.D., senior author of the study and assistant professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts. "These findings lend further support to the U.S. government's current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which suggest higher consumption of whole grains to facilitate disease prevention."
This analysis included 12 studies published through February 2016 and unpublished results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III, conducted from 1988 to 1994, and NHANES 1999-2004. Of the reviewed studies, 10 were conducted in U.S. populations, three in Scandinavian countries and one in the United Kingdom. The combined studies involved 786,076 men and women with 97,867 total deaths, 23,597 deaths from cardiovascular disease, and 37,492 deaths from cancer.

Joint replacement involves surgery to replace the ends of bones in a damaged joint. This surgery creates new joint surfaces.
In knee replacement surgery, the ends of the damaged thigh and lower leg (shin) bones and usually the kneecap are capped with artificial surfaces. These surfaces are lined with metal and plastic. In most cases, doctors replace the entire surface at the ends of the thigh and lower leg bones. Doctors usually secure knee joint components to the bones with cement.
Doctors are working on ways to replace just the damaged parts of the knee joint. This is sometimes called partial joint replacement. Unicompartmental replacement is one example of partial knee replacement. It replaces just the inner knee surfaces or the outer knee surfaces, depending on where the damage is. Another partial replacement is called a patellofemoral replacement. In this surgery, the end of the thigh bone is replaced. Then an artificial surface is used to line the back of the kneecap.
In knee replacement surgery, doctors remove the damaged cartilage and replace it with new joint surfaces in a step-by-step process.
Joint changes caused by osteoarthritis may also stretch and damage the ligaments that connect the thighbone to the lower leg bone. After surgery, the artificial joint itself and the remaining ligaments around the joint usually provide enough stability so that the damaged ligaments are not a problem.
Your doctor may use general anesthesia. This means you'll be asleep during the surgery. But sometimes doctors use regional anesthesia. This means you can't feel the area of the surgery. You will feel sleepy, but you will be awake. Which type of anesthesia you get depends on your doctor and on your overall health. Your doctor might also ask what you prefer.
Your doctor may recommend that you take antibiotics before and after the surgery to reduce the risk of infection. If you need any major dental work, your doctor may recommend that you have it done before the surgery. Infections can spread from other parts of the body, such as the mouth, to the artificial joint and cause a serious problem.
You will have intravenous (IV) antibiotics for about a day after surgery. You will also receive medicines to control pain, and perhaps medicines to prevent blood clots. It is not unusual to have an upset stomach or feel constipated after surgery. Talk with your doctor or nurse if you don't feel well.
When you wake up from surgery, you will have a bandage on your knee. You will probably have a drain to collect fluid and keep it from building up around your joint. You may have a catheter. This is a small tube connected to your bladder so you don't have to get out of bed to urinate. You may also have a compression pump or compression stocking on your leg. This device squeezes your leg. It keeps the blood circulating and helps prevent blood clots.
Your doctor may teach you to do simple breathing exercises to help prevent congestion in your lungs while your activity level is reduced. You may also learn to move your feet up and down to flex your muscles and keep your blood circulating.
You will probably still take some medicine. Over time, you will take less and less pain medicine. You may keep taking medicines to prevent blood clots for at least 10 days after surgery.
Most people who have knee replacement surgery start to walk with a walker or crutches the day of surgery or the next day. And most people can bear weight on the knee if it is comfortable.
A physical therapist will help you gently bend and straighten your knee. Your therapist will also begin some simple exercises to help strengthen your leg muscles.
Rehabilitation (rehab) after a knee replacement is intensive. The main goal of rehab is to allow you to bend your knee at least 90 degrees. That much bend is enough for you to do daily activities, such as walk, climb stairs, sit in and get up from chairs, and get in and out of a car. Most people can bend the knee more than 90 degrees after surgery. But one of the things that affects how much bend you get after surgery is how much bend you had before surgery. To get the most benefit from your surgery, it is very important that you take part in physical therapy. You will get this therapy both while you are in the hospital and after you go home.
Your doctor will let you know if you will stay in the hospital or if you can go home the day of surgery. Some people who need more extensive rehab may go to a specialized rehab center for more treatment.
After you go home, watch the surgery site and your general health. If you notice any redness or drainage from your wound, tell your surgeon. You may also be advised to take your temperature twice each day and to let your surgeon know if you have a fever over 100.5°F (38.1°C).
Rehab continues after you go home from the hospital. You will get rehab until you are able to function on your own and you get back as much strength and range of motion in your knee as you can. You will keep working on increasing the amount you can bend your knee and on building strength and endurance. Total rehab after surgery will take several months.
You will have an exercise program to follow when you go home, even if you are still having physical therapy. You should also take a short walk several times each day. If you notice any soreness, try a cold pack on your knee. You might also cut back on your activity a bit. But don't stop completely. Staying on your walking and exercise program will help you recover faster.
Your doctor may recommend that you ride a stationary bike. It can help strengthen your leg muscles and improve your knee bending. Swimming is also a good exercise after knee surgery. But don't go in the water until your stitches or staples are removed.
Your doctor may want to see you from time to time for several months or more to monitor your knee replacement. Over time, you will be able to do most of the things you could do before surgery.
Controlling your weight will help your new knee joint last longer.
Stay active to help keep your strength, flexibility, and endurance. Your activities might include walking, swimming (after your wound is completely healed), dancing, or golf. (If you golf, don't wear shoes with spikes. And make sure to use a golf cart.) You could also try cycling on a stationary bike or on level surfaces.
For at least 2 years after your surgery, your doctor may want you to take antibiotics before dental work or any invasive medical procedure. This is to help prevent infection around your knee replacement. After 2 years, your doctor and dentist will decide whether you still need to take antibiotics. Your general health and the state of your other health conditions will help them decide.
Doctors recommend joint replacement surgery when knee pain and loss of function become severe and when medicines and other treatments no longer relieve pain. Your doctor will use X-rays to look at the bones and cartilage in your knee to see if they are damaged. This helps the doctor make sure that the pain isn't coming from somewhere else.
Have poor general health and may not tolerate anesthesia and surgery well.
Have an active infection or are at risk for infection.
Have osteoporosis (significant thinning of the bones).
Have severe weakness of the quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh.
Have a knee that appears to bend backward when the knee is fully extended (genu recurvatum), if this condition is due to muscle weakness or paralysis.
Are severely overweight. Replacement joints may be more likely to fail in people who are very overweight.
Some doctors will recommend other types of surgery if possible for younger people and especially for those who do strenuous work. A younger or more active person is more likely than an older or less active person to have an artificial knee joint wear out. People who are very overweight are also more likely to have an artificial knee joint wear out from the extra stress on the joint.
Doctors usually don't recommend knee replacement surgery for people who have very high expectations for how much they will be able to do with the artificial joint. (Examples are people who expect to be able to run, ski, or do other activities that stress the knee joint). The artificial knee allows a person to do ordinary daily activities with less pain. It does not restore the same level of function that the person had before the damage to the knee joint began.
Most people have much less pain after knee replacement surgery and are able to do many of their daily activities more easily.
The knee will not bend as far as it did before you developed knee problems. But the surgery will allow you to stand and walk for longer periods without pain.
After surgery, you may be allowed to resume activities such as golfing, riding a bike, swimming, walking for exercise, dancing, or cross-country skiing (if you did these activities before surgery).
Your doctor may discourage you from running, playing tennis, squatting, and doing other things that put a lot of stress on the joint.
The younger you are when you have the surgery and the more stress you put on the joint, the more likely it is that you will later need a second surgery to replace the first artificial joint. Over time, the components wear down or may loosen and need to be replaced.
Your artificial joint should last longer if you are not overweight and you do not do hard physical work or play sports that stress the joint.
Blood clots. People may get a blood clot in a leg vein after knee joint replacement surgery. Blood clots can be dangerous if they block blood flow from the leg back to the heart or move to the lungs. Blood clots occur more often in older people, people who are very overweight, people who have had blood clots before, and people who have cancer.
Infection in the surgical wound or in the joint. Infection is rare in people who are otherwise healthy. Some people are at higher risk of infection after any surgery. This includes people who have other health problems, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or chronic liver disease, and people who take corticosteroids. Most wound infections are treated with antibiotics. Infections deep in the joint may need more surgery. And in some cases the doctor must remove the artificial joint.
Nerve injury. In rare cases, a nerve may be injured around the site of the surgery. It is more common (but still unusual) if the surgeon is also correcting problems in the joint. A nerve injury may cause tingling, numbness, or trouble moving a muscle. These injuries usually get better over time. In some cases they may go away completely.
Problems with wound healing. Wound healing problems are more common in people who take corticosteroids or who have diseases that affect the immune system, such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.
Lack of good range of motion. How much you can bend your knee after surgery depends a lot on how much you could bend your knee before surgery. Some people are not able to bend their knee far enough to allow them to do their regular daily activities, even after several weeks of recovery. If this happens, the doctor may give you a medicine to relax your muscles and then gently force your knee to bend further. This may loosen tissues around the joint that are preventing you from bending it.
Dislocation of the kneecap (patella). This is an uncommon complication of knee replacement surgery. If this happens, the kneecap may move to one side of the knee, and it will "pop" back when you bend your knee. This may not be painful, but it may make the knee feel unstable, and it may be uncomfortable. Dislocation of the kneecap interferes with the way your thigh muscles (quadriceps) work. It usually needs to be treated with surgery. In some cases, the knee replacement surgery must be completely redone if the dislocation is caused by a problem with the way the components in the knee line up.
Fracture of the kneecap (patella). The kneecap could fracture either because of a fall or while you are using the knee normally. This complication is very uncommon. It may be seen in people who can bend the knee almost normally and can easily climb stairs and get up from chairs. Doctors usually can treat a fractured kneecap without surgery.
Instability in the joint. The knee may be unstable or wobbly if the replacement components are not properly aligned. You may need a second surgery to align the components correctly so that your knee is stable.
The usual risks of general anesthesia. Risks of any surgery are higher in people who have had a recent heart attack and those who have long-term (chronic) lung, liver, kidney, or heart disease.
Exercise (swimming, walking) is important to your general well-being and muscle strength. Talk with your doctor about what type of exercise is best for you.
You may donate your own blood to use during surgery if needed. This is called autologous blood donation. If you choose to do this, start the donation several weeks before the surgery. You will have more time to donate enough blood and rebuild your blood volume before surgery.
If you need more than one joint replacement surgery, such as both knees or a knee and a hip, talk to your doctor about guidelines that may help you and your doctor decide in which order to do the surgeries.

These aims are delivered through 'teaching' Units and, for National 4, an added value unit.
provide a broad context for the Course and develop an understanding of engineering and its role and impact on our environment and society. It allows the learner to explore some existing and emerging technologies and challenges, and to consider implications relating to the environment, sustainable development, and ethical, economic and cultural issues. The learning for this unit is probably best delivered in discrete chunks associated with aspects of the other units. The content of this unit is significantly different from Technological Studies Standard Grade. Some of the main differences included in the Outcomes are noted below for consideration.
Outcome 1 is about 'how things work' – exploring a range of engineered objects, which could be anything from simple everyday devices (kettle, corkscrew, car jack. …) to larger systems (car engine, central heating controller …) and industrial systems such as power generation plants.
Outcome 2 requires the learner to investigate some real engineering challenges, leading to an increased understanding of the main branches of engineering, and the roles of engineers 'designing, implementing, testing and controlling complex systems'. The emphasis should be on investigation. For example, groups of learners could investigate an industrial system and presenting their findings to the rest of the class.
Outcome 3 explores some impacts of engineering – social, economic, environmental, climate change and should be weaved into the other learning and be a pervasive theme throughout the course.
3. Mechanisms and Structures explores an appropriate range of key concepts involving systems such as gears, pneumatics, structures, forces, energy and efficiency. Skills in problem solving and evaluating are developed through simulation, practical projects and investigative tasks in a range of contexts. Opportunities should be taken to link the learning within this Unit to ideas from the Contexts and Challenges Unit, for example, by: examining real-life systems which include mechanisms and structures; making links to mechanical, structural and civil engineering; considering impacts of mechanical and structural systems on society, economy and environment.
the Engineering Assignment for National 4, requires the learner to apply and integrate skills and knowledge from the other Units to solve an appropriately challenging engineering problem. At National 5, the corresponding practical assignment contributes to 40% of the final Course Award.

Taylor's Daughter Apologizes
Thomas T. Johnson
At a crowded Parker Corner Sports Pitch located in District #17, Montserrado County last Saturday, where partisans of the All Liberian Party (ALP) gathered to welcome their political leader, Benoni Urey, and to pledge their support to the party, someone mentioned the name Charles McArthur Taylor, and many waited anxiously to know why that name was mentioned.
The audience didn't pay much attention when the MC earlier introduced Ms. Yassah Zoe Taylor as the daughter of former President Charles Taylor.
Zoe's voice commanded attention when, with the microphone in her hand, she explained that she is the first child of former President Charles Taylor. Known popularly as Zoe Taylor, she apologized on behalf of her father and the entire Taylor family to Liberians for whatever might have gone wrong during her father's reign.
"I want to say sorry for what we might have done wrong to any of our brothers and sisters," she said.
Pledging her support to the presidential bid of ALP political leader Urey, Zoe noted that her father is not the kind of person that many, especially those outside the country, perceive him to be. She said her father is a good man who had a great heart for his country, "but the chance was not given to him."
"We continue to live peacefully in this country. I, for one, don't have a security assigned to me and I live in my father's hometown of Arthington. I have never been harassed and this is because we have a good relationship with our people.
"My father loves Liberia and his dream for this country and people was to see us all excel. He meant well for this country," she said to loud applause.
"The actual wicked people are still here and are still subjecting the Liberian people to massive suffering, but we are determined to boot them out this year. This is the time to liberate the Liberian people and we are ready to take the lead," she said.
Ms. Taylor told the gathering that influential businessman Benoni Urey is the only candidate that can take Liberians from their current desperate condition.
"I can tell you that Benoni Urey is the only man that can bring economic sanity back to our country. This is the time to save our state from the hands of vampires who have and still want to exploit us. We must be careful. Urey is the one who can deliver us from the hands of the wicked," she said.
Urey has the vision and the "knowhow" to transform Liberia, Taylor assured. "This is the man who has been here throughout, especially during the crisis. He has never left you alone; he knows our problem in and out and so he is the right man. This is an opportunity that we must never miss," she said.
Urey told his many supporters that it is time to stand firm and change the status quo. "This is your year and you all will decide your future, the future of this country and that of generations unborn.
"This is the time for you to tell those unpatriotic hypocrites that you cannot be fooled all of the time. All our values have gone away because our leaders are not nationalists," Urey charged.
He called on his partisans to make sure that they take advantage of the upcoming voter registration exercise, slated for February 1 – March 7.

"Zoe Taylor, she apologized on behalf of her father and the entire Taylor family to Liberians for whatever might have gone wrong during her father's reign." Good of her, however, we are going back to those dark and darker day..And any attempt will be resisted.
The cat June 6, 2019 at 12:08 pm
Charles Taylor has on many occasions said he did wrong to any Liberian for which he is to apologize. You are in no position to apologize for a cruel and remorseless animal called Charles Taylor. May he rot in jail for ever.
Julius A. Momo - Stone June 6, 2019 at 8:00 pm
Charles Taylor had the support of the Liberian people. President Doe had messed up the country, preceding any other president before and after him. It was under his administration that the rule of law completely came to and end, and human right abuses wore iron suit. The type and level of corruption, introduced by Taylor is today been perfected by gov't officials of all positions. Since 1980, Liberia has never yet had a patriotic leadership.
Unfortunately, even someone like Jewel Howard Taylor, a well educated and respected former first lady, hitherto, does not see anything wrong that Taylor has done to be incarcerated in England. That's arrogance, you know. But we do. And the records do too. But Zoe, thank you so much for coming forward to say, "I AM SORRY." Julius A. Momo – Stone, USA

This is a charming costume for a miss. It is of pink silk, delicately tinted as a rose leaf. The skirt is composed of six flounces, the upper one forming a sort of basquine to the waist. These flounces are button-holed on the edges in small scallops, and embroidered in tiny rose buds. The waist is plain, and open to the bodice, disclosing a stomacher composed of puffings of white Swiss, separated by bands of rich needlework insertion. Each side of the stomacher is finished with lapelles embroidered in like manner with the flounces commencing round on the shoulder and sloping down in graceful curves to the waist. The sleeves are short, and ornamented like the flounces, with white undersleeves to match the stomacher.

Proposal: new PROMPT $i special command.
I move around my laptop quite a bit, connecting it to several networks (work, home, mistress' home :p, etc.), and each time it gets assigned a different IP address.
My current prompt says somewhere ... [email protected]%_ip ... , but the problem with this is that %_ip gets evaluated only at the window startup, and if I move to a new network, the old IP address will still be there. A workaround is to simply close that TCC window and open another one, but there are many times where this is undesirable.
I'd like to have the new special command $i available for the prompt: it will display the current IP address(es), just like the %_ip variable does.
Either way will store the literal string %_ip in the PROMPT variable to be evaluated when the prompt is displayed.
I tried the first method and it worked perfectly. Thank you.

Black Panther destroys box office expectations, breaks records
2018-02-19 15:30:00by Matthew Razak
Box office round up
Black Panther is getting rightful praise for a ton of reasons based around its cultural importance and quality, but to the studios only one thing matters, and that is money. So it's good to know we can add on top of that praise a box office that broke nearly every February release record on the books. Not only that it is the fifth largest three-day box office in history, beating out every other Marvel film except The Avengers, and coming in behind only two Star Wars films and Jurassic World. Let me point out again that this film opened in February, a month that's traditionally down for movie going.
We can go on. Disney originally believed the film would bring in only $120 million over the entire four-day weekend. The movie beat that in two. It destroyed Deadpool's Presidents' Day weekend record of $152 million. It broke the record for Thursday previews in February, and was the second highest grossing for a Marvel film. It is close to overtaking (and may do so once final counts are in after the holiday) The Force Awakens for the biggest Sunday box office ever. Estimations put its total four-day weekend gross at a staggering $235 million.
Hollywood has long argued that black (or any minority) led films don't make money, but that's pretty clearly bullshit now. It turns out if you make a good movie, put money behind it, and don't just market it to a black audience then people will show up to it. Who would of thought?
There were some other movies that people went to this weekend too.
1. Black Panther - $201,797,000
2. Peter Rabbit - $17,600,000
3. Fifty Shades Freed - $17,320,000
4. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle - $7,925,000
5. The 15:17 to Paris - $7,620,000
6. The Greatest Showman - $5,070,000
7. Early Man - $3,183,000
8. The Maze Runner: The Death Cure - $2,605,000
9. Winchester - $2,195,000
10. The Post - $2,000,000
