Being the new kid is rough! Whether you're new to the area or just in a new class, it can be scary to make friends, especially during super-social times like lunch and recess.
I hate dressers in kid rooms. They take up tons of space and are hard for little hands to manage. At our house, we keep kid clothes in these handy pull-out plastic bins instead!

You are about to see the most perfect nautical themed wedding ever! Navy blue, rope detail, starfish, anchors, buoys, boats, ship's wheels, oysters, and a gorgeous view of the river! You're also about to see the monogram Queen! Keep an eye out and you'll see "TQM" everywhere! I loved it!
Morgan and Tiffany made such a creative entrance to their ceremony! They boarded separate boats with their bridesmaids and groomsmen and took a short ride out into the creek. As guests arrived and took their seats, the boats headed back and they all made their entrances from the dock. It was a beautiful, hot, summer day and the boats brought the summer feel of their wedding full circle! These two have a deep love of the river! Their engagements, Tiffany's bridals, and their wedding all share the river as their backdrop! I always find small connections with my local couples! Morgan is a county official in the county I live in! I had no idea, which is probably pretty bad on my part. Tiffany has such a sweet spirit! Laid back and easy going, she was down to try all my suggestions and came to the table with ideas of her own!
Here are some of my favorites from Tiffany's Bridal Session!
Such beautiful pictures! So happy for the two of you. Tiffany, you were such a gorgeous bride!

The grazing movement is, both literally and figuratively, a grass-roots movement. Many livestock producers in the northern USA have recently moved from predominantly confinement feeding systems to grazing systems. Most of them use some form of management-intensive rotational grazing in which livestock are periodically rotated from one paddock to another, allowing the plants in each paddock a rest period to recover from grazing.
The beginnings of the grazing movement originated with livestock producers and support groups, adapting routine methods and technology (Voisin, 1959) to their personal situations and needs. Once the movement became more visible and gained momentum, research interests grew and several research institutions, including the University of Wisconsin, began to support the movement.
Management-intensive rotational grazing systems in the northern USA are grass-based systems. They can be based on naturalized grasses, those that naturally appear if crop fields are allowed to revert to pastures. The most dominant grasses in these systems are Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), quackgrass (Elytrigia repens), and smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis). Cropland can also be converted into productive pasture by renovation and reseeding. Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis), festulolium (Festulolium braunii), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), timothy (Phleum pratense), are commonly used grasses in improved pastures.
The best grass species for a pasture will vary with location, climate, soil type, moisture conditions, and grazing regime. Some of the grasses above are very long-lived perennials that can last forever in the proper environment and with proper management. Others can only be considered to be short-term components to pastures, particularly for locations with relatively cold winters. For some species, there is a huge amount of variability among varieties, with some varieties being more suitable for grazing than others. The purpose of this paper is to describe some recent research aimed at developing better grasses for management-intensive rotational grazing systems.
We began working on the ryegrasses in the early 1980s, quickly realizing that winter survival under Wisconsin conditions was the biggest issue in the promotion and use of any ryegrasses. The big European companies would routinely send their most recent and best varieties and lines for testing, indicating that these were the most winter-hardy lines for northern Europe. It didn't matter–none of them would survive our worst Wisconsin winters, characterized by intermittent or lack of snow cover, strong winds that dried out the plant crowns, and extreme shifts between warm and cold spells during late winter and early spring.
In the late 1980s, we began selecting ryegrasses and festuloliums for winter survival. We dug surviving plants from old research plots and on-farm pastures at several locations, crossing the survivors to produce new seed populations and testing those populations and their parent varieties in plot trials to determine the amount of improvement that we had made.
The first variety to be developed and released from this selection program was 'Spring Green' festulolium. This variety is a selection from hybrids of meadow fescue with perennial ryegrass or Italian ryegrass. We collaborated with Peter Pitts, a livestock producer and entrepreneur near Spring Green, WI and with Pure Seed Testing, Inc. in Hubbard, OR to develop this variety. Spring Green has improved freezing tolerance, measured as plant or tiller survival at -12°F (Table 1). This resulted in improved survival under field conditions. The improvement in survival was greatest at the locations with the most severe winter conditions (USDA hardiness zones 2 through 5). Over 1 million pounds of seed have been sold during the past 5 years, marking the success of this variety. Over 200,000 pounds of certified organic seed was produced in 2004 for the 2005 planting season.
Our first grazing research effort was an on-farm trial of several pasture grass varieties (Casler et al., 1998). This study identified meadow fescue has having untapped potential as a pasture grass for the northern USA. It has forage yields lower than tall fescue, but because its acceptance by dairy cows was considerably higher than tall fescue, consumption was equal for the two species. Meadow fescue comes from the colder regions of northern and eastern Europe, while tall fescue comes from the Mediterranean region. Due to its greater cold tolerance and palatability, meadow fescue is a better choice than tall fescue for the northern USA. Both grasses are highly adapted and tolerant of grazing.
We began breeding meadow fescue in the late 1990s, and have developed one new variety that has yet to be named, still going by its experimental name WMF1. We conducted more extensive evaluations of meadow fescue germplasm from all over northern and eastern Europe, selecting a small number of parents for WMF1. This variety has 8% higher forage yield, 34% higher forage intake, and 20% higher preference under rotational grazing than tall fescue (Table 2). It has crown rust resistance comparable to the best tall fescue varieties. This variety is currently in the seed multiplication phase and will be named and released in 2005 or 2006.
Reed canarygrass is a potentially valuable pasture grass that suffers from poor seedling vigor, increasing the length of time required for successful establishment (Casler et al., 1999; Undersander et al., 2001). In 1993, we began a breeding program to improve seedling establishment capacity in reed canarygrass. Our approach was to plant seeds in areas with heavy infestations of annual weeds, allowing the weeds to compete with the reed canarygrass seedlings, but managing the stands as normally recommended for new seedings (occasional clipping to open the canopy to sunlight).
increased root weight after 16 days, but the difference in root weight was only observed at this early date, not at the later dates. Therefore, the improvement in establishment capacity of WR00 appears to be due to improved seedling vigor, which occurs largely through increased shoot weights and partly through increased root weights of young seedlings. This variety is currently in the seed multiplication phase and will be named and released in 2005 or 2006.
Orchardgrass is a valuable pasture grass in many parts of the northern USA, but it is very difficult to manage in the spring due to early and profuse heading. Some livestock producers have had some success with late-maturing varieties, but seed is not always readily available for all of these varieties. Breeding non-heading orchardgrass varieties would be an alternative that would make orchardgrass more valuable and popular for pastures. A non-heading orchardgrass variety would also have the benefit of fitting better into multiple-species mixtures, which are advantageous for many livestock producers with a range of diverse soil and environmental conditions on the farm.
Breeding a non-heading orchardgrass is complicated by the need to produce seed. By definition, lack of heads, means lack of seed. Because there is no other way to propagate orchardgrass economically, we must be able to produce seed. We have found some orchardgrass plants with heading genes that are controlled by winter temperatures–they don't head following cold winters, but head-out normally after warm winters. We have selected the best of these plants and have sent them to four mild-winter locations in the western USA to check for seed production. If we are able to produce seed on these plants, we will bring them back to Wisconsin and neighboring states to determine the reliability of the non-heading characteristic and identify the environmental conditions that lead to non-heading plants. We are still a few years from variety development, but a 2005 seed crop will go a long way toward determining feasibility of this idea.

No one knew it at the time, but the CBS soap had just ushered onto the scene its own future.
When Bryton James first appeared on The Young and the Restless on June 1, 2004, he was no green rookie. Though still a teenager, he'd been in showbiz since he was 2 years old. In fact, he'd gotten his big break, on the TGIF sitcom Family Matters, when he was only 4!

Still, no one could have predicted the impact that he'd come to have on the CBS soap. Certainly not James himself. But he was sure game to give it his all. "Once I knew that they valued me and thought that I would be a great fit for this role," he told Soap Opera Digest in 2020, "I immediately just wanted to get better every day and do the best I could to add to the show. I mean, I didn't know anything about The Young and the Restless… I didn't know the legacy that it had…
"But once I did," he added, "I was very confident and eager to get going."
At first, James' character — Devon Hamilton, as if you didn't know — was sorta the show's go-to when it wanted to do a "very special" storyline, whether about the foster-care system or deafness or getting stuck in a lion's cage at the zoo.
OK, maybe that last one wasn't your run-of-the-mill Afterschool Special.

James, and along with him Devon, evolved — to the point that they've become frontburner mainstays. If a plot is hot and getting hotter, odds are you'll find Neil and Drucilla Winters' adopted son smack-dab in the middle of it. "I definitely didn't anticipate this long [a run] or even think that far into the future" when trying out, the Emmy winner told TV Source in 2019. "Never in a million years did I expect it would be this integrated into the canvas of such an iconic show. And now here we are… "
That, we are. On this joyful occasion, join us, why don't ya, in paying tribute to James' accomplishments as Devon by reviewing the character's "Wait, what?!?" history via the below photo gallery.

When Bryton James made his Young & Restless debut in 2004, foster kid Devon Hamilton was glacially slow to trust poor little rich girl Lily Winters. And wouldn't ya know it? Just as he began to thaw toward his co-worker at the rec-center project that was keeping Victor Newman out of jail, the teen's misbehavior was set to get him sent to a Level 12 facility — in other words, adolescent prison. He needed a hero, and in walked…

Image: Aaron Montgomery/JPI

Lily's mother Drucilla saw in Devon a bit of herself at his age — and therefore wanted to steer him clear of some of the mistakes that she had made in her impetuous youth. (All of them would've been a bit much to shoot for!) Selling her husband Neil on the idea was… eh, let's say, not easy. But he eventually came around and agreed to permanently foster Devon.

Though Devon wound up being welcomed with open arms into the Winters family, he was still so bummed that everybody Sixteen Candles'd his birthday that he stole away to the zoo and got himself stranded in the lions' habitat. He was fine, by the way, but Neil almost died when Lily ran the rescue SUV right into her dad.

Devon tried to reconnect with birth mom Yolanda — but alas, only in vain. The drug addict traded one bad habit (crack) for another (coming on to Neil) till her now-grown little boy felt that the only sensible decision would be to decline her offer to move with her to Seattle.

When it rained, it poured for Devon, as big a magnet for heartache and angst as ever there was. No sooner had he come out on top in a bout with meningitis than he went deaf. Yes, deaf! And on top of that — as if that wasn't enough! — he got arrested for the murder of Neil's flirtmate, Carmen Mesta. (Needless to say, Devon was innocent — despite how heated this confrontation looks.)

Because c'mon, you know Devon couldn't possibly get the former without the latter! After a cochlear implant restored his hearing and he was officially adopted by Neil and Dru, he lost his now-official mother when she went tumbling off a cliff (back up which we still expect her to climb one of these days).

Devon was happily dating Lily's pal Roxanne, who weirdly never got a last name, when into the Winterses' lives blew Hurricane Tyra, the "aunt" who proved to be so irresistible that newly remarried Neil cheated on wife Karen Taylor with her, and Devon cheated on his girlfriend with her. Hey, the temptress was played by America's Next Top Model winner Eva Marcille.

No, Tucker McCall, we are not Devon's biological father, that would be you, a fact that they only discovered after they'd rubbed each other the wrong way as the younger man pursued a career as a music mogul at his unwitting pop's record company.

Image: Paul Skipper/JPI

Devon and Tucker might never have become the best of buddies, but there was an almost priceless upside to the former's discovery of his relation to the latter: When newfound grandmother Katherine Chancellor passed away, she left Devon the bulk of her estate. And, we presume, an entire town's worth of vaults in which to store the loot.

Image: John Paschal/JPI

Devon and Hilary Curtis were so slow to get on the same page about their attraction that, by the time they were both ready to admit that they were hot for one another, she'd — d'oh! — married Neil. Then, just when they were ready to break it to Neil that his marriage was kaput, he was — and we could not make this up — left blind after being electrocuted. So rather than burden him with the truth, Devon and Hilary… Oh, that's tacky, guys. They cheated on him behind his back (which was overkill since he couldn't see, anyway!).

Once Neil regained his sight and lost his wife, Devon tied the knot with his beautiful stepmother… only to have her vanish on their honeymoon and return to him with amnesia. Even after Hilary's memory was restored, it was anything but smooth sailing for the couple, owing largely to the bride's inability to decide whether she was a bad girl or a reformed bad girl.

Image: Howard Wsie/JPI

In his divorce from Hilary, Devon not only lost his wife, he lost GC Buzz. But at least he was able to stipulate that its new honcho had to wait a year before firing anybody — in other words, Hilary's co-host/frenemy and his own new girlfriend, Mariah Copeland.

Image: Howard Wise/JPI

In 2018, well before Abby Newman set her sights on Devon's sperm, he was already looking to make a donation — to former wife Hilary, whose biological clock wasn't just ticking, its alarm was going off. But, the former couple's chemistry being as undeniable as it was, they soon gave up the "artificial" part of their plan to make her a mother via artificial insemination.

Devon and Hilary were happily planning their future as parents when… ack! Lily was so distracted by an argument with her ex-sister-in-law that she ran a red light and got in an accident that landed Hilary on her deathbed. Sadly, as quickly as Devon made her his bride once again, the fates made him a widower.

A resounding "no" was Devon's answer for a good while after he lost Hilary. But then into his world came Elena Dawson. Suddenly, his heart began to feel something once again besides breaking. If only he wasn't haunted by visions of his late wife…

The dark cloud that seemed to have taken up residence above Devon's head only got darker on what should have been a joyful occasion. As he opened fancypants restaurant Society with Abby Newman, he wanted to share the night with Neil. After all that they'd been through, their renewed closeness was reason enough to celebrate. Sadly, it was that very evening that Devon learned that his adoptive father had passed away.

Visions of Hilary were one thing. But then Devon got an eyeful of Genoa City's newest attorney, Amanda Sinclair, who turned out not just to be a dead ringer for his late missus but — surprise, surprise — her long-lost twin sister as well. Despite the fact that Devon remained committed to Elena, insecurity drove her into the arms of his sexy cousin, Nate Hastings.

In the wake of Elena's betrayal, Devon did exactly what she feared that he would and grew closer to Amanda. And though Elena began seeing Nate in earnest, her attraction to Devon hadn't actually diminished any more than had his to her. So basically, everybody slept with everybody in much the same way that decades earlier, Neil and brother Malcolm kept swapping partners with Dru and sister Olivia. Ah, the more things change…

No sooner had Devon settled into a stable new relationship with Amanda than he became a father… sorta. The baby that he and Mariah cooked up for Abby Chancellor was ushered into the world. And though he wasn't intended to parent Dominic, circumstances conspired to send his paternal instincts into overdrive.

Devon knew that he was rolling the dice in a big way by mixing family matters and corporate intrigue to take Lily's suggestion that they merge Hamilton-Winters with Chancellor Industries to form one giant mega-company. But then he looked at how well the Newmans work together, and the Abbotts, and… Wait, why would anybody have gone along with that crazy an idea!

Image: CBS screenshot

Devon came to regret hiring Nate nine ways to Sunday after his cousin became so fed up with his treatment at CW that he struck a deal with Victoria Newman that would allow Newman Enterprises to seize controlling interest in the company. Ya know what? On second thought, Devon regretted hiring Nate 10 ways to Sunday, not nine.

One day, Devon was in a mood. So was Abby. So they brewed a pot of coffee, sat down and sensibly talked through their feelings. they set about banging all over his penthouse and were still entangled in one another when who should walk in but Amanda and Chance? In short order, not one but two relationships went up in smoke, and never again would we be able to look at those stairs the same way.

Ли́дия Анато́льевна Будого́ская (22 ноября 1898, Плоцк — 6 января 1984, Ленинград) — русская писательница, прозаик, автор книг для детей. Член Союза писателей СССР.

Биография
Лидия Анатольевна Будогоская родилась 22 ноября 1898 года в Плоцке под Варшавой в семье русского офицера. Впоследствии её отец в поисках более высокого заработка перешёл в корпус жандармов.

Лидино детство прошло в скитаниях: из Польши на Урал, в город Златоуст, из Златоуста в Калугу. Учиться она начинала в Кронштадте под Петербургом, а заканчивала гимназию в Сарапуле под Камой.
Детство у девочки было трудное. Отец установил в доме настоящий полицейский режим. В «Повести о рыжей девочке» Будогоская, почти ничего не придумывая, рассказала о своём отце.

Когда Лида училась в четвёртом классе гимназии, отец бросил семью. Материально стало жить труднее, зато дышалось теперь легче, свободнее. Мать уехала в Петроград, поступила на работу в госпиталь. Кончив в 1915 году гимназию, приехала к ней туда и Лида.

Была медицинской сестрой военного госпиталя (1916—1918). В годы Гражданской войны — медсестра перевязочного отделения полевого лазарета на Западном фронте (1919—1921). После демобилизации — в лечебных учреждениях Ленинграда.

Работать ей случалось не только с ранеными, но и с сыпнотифозными и с психически больными.

В 1921 году, когда закончилась гражданская война, Лидию уволили из госпиталя по сокращению штатов. Целый год семья Будогоских жила тем, что делала ёлочные игрушки и поставляла их частному торговцу в Гостином дворе. Младший брат Лидии Анатольевны Эдик (1903—1976), будущий художник, иллюстратор её книг, разрисовывал их.

Наконец биржа труда, где состояли тогда на учёте все безработные, послала Будогоскую на один из пунктов охраны материнства и младенчества. Опыта у Лидии Анатольевны не было, она была медсестрой военного времени, имела до сих пор дело с пулемётчиками и конными артиллеристами, а тут ей пришлось возиться с новорожденными. Но, привыкнув, она проработала на пункте восемь лет.

После этого она работала некоторое время на трикотажной фабрике «Красное знамя», в редакции детского журнала «Чиж», на молочной кухне.

А. Любарская вспоминала:
В этот самый вечер — 11 ноября 1937 года, когда у меня был первый настоящий допрос, — в стенах Ленинградского Союза писателей состоялось общее собрание детской секции под председательством Г. Мирошниченко. На этом собрании, хорошо подготовленном стенгазетой, в том же стиле, в тех же выражениях, был вынесен приговор всем арестованным — писателям и редакторам. Нашлись среди учеников Маршака и такие, что с готовностью присоединились к клевете на своего учителя...

... Только три человека на этом собрании не изменили ни себе, ни брошенным в тюрьму товарищам. Это Маршак, ни единым словом не отказавшийся от своих учеников. Это писательница Лидия Будогоская, не побоявшаяся (в разгар репрессий, во времена повальных арестов) крикнуть на весь зал: «Все это ложь!» Это муж Тамары Григорьевны Габбе — Иосиф Израилевич Гинзбург...

С первых дней Великой Отечественной войны — снова медсестра военного госпиталя в Ленинграде. После войны жила там же, совмещая литературный труд с работой в оздоровительных учреждениях.

Творчество
Писала, сочиняла Будогоская всю жизнь — с тех пор, как научилась держать в руках карандаш и перо. Ей было девять лет, когда отец спросил у неё:
  — Кем ты будешь, когда вырастешь?
  — Писательницей.
  — Тьфу! Дура. Разве это дело?

Таясь от отца, Лида писала, раскрашивала, клеила и сшивала малюсенькие книжечки.

В гимназические годы она принимала участие в рукописном журнале «Молодые грёзы». Но журнал запретили.

В литературе дебютировала автобиографической «Повестью о рыжей девочке» (1929). В повести во многом отражены нелёгкие годы детства в Сарапуле. К опытам творчества Будогоской благосклонно отнёсся один из корифеев детской литературы С. Я. Маршак и с его благословения из-под пера начинающего прозаика одна за одной выходят книги:
 «Санитария» (1930),
 «Нулёвки» (1932),
 «Как Саньку в очаг привели» (1933),
 «Повесть о фонаре» (1936),
 «Часовой» (1947), неоднократно переиздававшиеся.

Почти все её книги иллюстрировал и оформлял брат.

Одно из свойств таланта Л.Будогоской заключается в том, что в её произведениях, как правило, описывается её жизнь, пережитое и испытанное ею. Были, конечно, в её писательской жизни исключения. Такие, например, книги, как «Нулёвки» (1932 г.), «Санитарки» (1931 г.), «Как Саньку в очаг привели» (1933 г.), написаны на основании наблюдений над детьми. О маленьких и для маленьких написана последняя книга Л. Будогоской «Золото глазок», вышедшая в 1966 году.

I am an Independent Education Consultant, specialising in School Improvement, Teaching and Learning and SEND as these are my areas of expertise and reflect my previous experience. I have been a primary teacher, SENCo, headteacher and local authority adviser. I have also worked with the DfE SEN team and National Strategies as a Senior SEN Adviser. This involved development, implementation and evaluation of the Achievement for All (AfA) national pilot. AfA is a school improvement programme designed to improve outcomes for all pupils, including those with SEND, through high quality teaching, effective tracking and target setting, engaging parents and developing wider outcomes. My role involved support with strategic planning, providing training for school staff and monitoring the effectiveness of AfA on pupil outcomes. Developing AfA was a significant professional achievement as it has made a real difference to pupils, not only on attainment and progress but also in terms of their self esteem and involvement of their parents in learning.
Prior to my role with the National Strategies, I worked as a local authority SEN and School Improvement Adviser in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. I supported schools causing concern, led whole school teaching and learning and SEN reviews and managed the team who were responsible for the county SEN CPD programme.
I have primary headship experience and have worked as an interim Executive Headteacher in a school in Special Measures. I was responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the Ofsted Action Plan. My main focus was to provide professional development for staff to improve the quality of teaching and learning and raise standards and achievement.
Previously I have been a SENCO, mainstream class teacher and have experience of working within specialist settings, supporting pupils with a range of needs.
I have been an independent adviser for 5 years and support a range of primary, secondary and special schools with leadership of SEND, as well as working with local authorities, MATs and other national organisations. I am an Associate Consultant for nasen and a member of the Academies Enterprise Trust SEN Team. I am also a consultant governor for a large 4-18 school in Dubai and a trustee of a recently formed multi-academy trust in the East Midlands. I regularly contribute to online SEN articles and webinars, writing for Optimus and They Key, and am the author of The Perfect SENCO and The Teacher's Guide to SEN.
I specialise in training, support and advice on Special Educational Needs (SEN) and School Improvement in order to improve outcomes for all pupils. I can offer a range of support for headteachers, senior and middle leaders, SENCOs, teachers and support staff. Advice can also be provided for clusters of schools, local authorities and other educational organisations.
I also carry out SEND reviews in primary, secondary and special schools and have been involved in the development of peer to peer SEND reviews through Whole School SEND (WSS).

"I'm not afraid of machines," [Ray Bradbury] told Writer's Digest in 1976. "I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools."
I explore many subjects and then, somehow, they all come out in strange manners onto my canvases. These are some of the links relating to my new series on synthetic genomics, doctrine, and philosophy working titled Resurrection of the Tin Man. I started researching it mid 2011 and this page will grow, as did my Judy Garland page. I will be working on this series into 2013. Some people I asked to become characters in my paintings while others are a mix of individuals I know and those in the public narrative. These links support my new series in 2012 Gallery Work In Progress. Science, a lot of it, is reliant on the myth of its infalibility. This myth is perhaps the most dangerous myth of all. And science has many qualities of religion, doctrine, fervour and devotion as any religion, which begged the question about what a fictional messiah might be like.

Hometown Hero Vapor took the classic strawberries & cream vape and added a savory sweet kettle corn to put our own twist on it. Red Dream has a warm and salty kettle corn inhale with a sweet strawberry and cream finish. This flavor sounds weird but everyone who tries it falls in love on the first puff. There is a reason Red Dream is one of our best sellers. We have always been in love with the strawberry cream and kettle corn sold in bags at shopping malls all over the US.

Small businesses shouldn't expect more flexibility for spending PPP funds: labor secretary
Scalia touted PPP as an 'extraordinary success'
By Evie Fordham FOXBusiness
Get all the latest news on coronavirus and more delivered daily to your inbox. Sign up here.
Small businesses should not expect to be given more flexibility in how they can spend forgivable loans provided by the federal government's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia said Tuesday.
PPP loan recipients are expected to allocate 75 percent for payroll expenses during the coronavirus pandemic, but the remaining 25 percent can be put toward rent, mortgage interest, utilities and interest on other debt obligations.
CORONAVIRUS REOPENING POLICIES COULD BURN STRUGGLING RESTAURANTS
Scalia touted PPP as an "extraordinary success."
"Its greatest challenge has been its popularity," Scalia said. "In the first round of funding, we had 1.6 million businesses get loans. In this latest round, already 2.2 million U.S. businesses getting loans."

Businesses including restaurants and retailers have complained about the 75-25 split, saying they need to be able to spend more on non-payroll expenses.
FIRST STATE BORROWS FEDERAL CASH TO PAY OUT UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
"This program was designed as a Paycheck Protection Program," Scalia said. "It was meant to help workers in substantial part. It won't be all things to all people. The Treasury, the Fed have other programs that are also available to help small businesses."
More than 3.8 million Americans filed for unemployment during the week ending April 25, pushing the six-week total of job losses to 30.2 million, according to the Labor Department.


It really depends on lighting. When I publish the full review, the variety of angles and so on will give you a greater range of colors, although in real life, with ordinary overhead lighting and so on, I'd say it's a hair darker blue than this. It really pops in the photos. Still, it's a very blue watch, studio lighting or not. Yes, they all come with this bracelet plus the blue strap plus an extender. Personally I think it looks better on the strap but the bracelet is really nice. It has to be one of the most complex clasps in the business.
Cool ! For the record I've set a 22 mm Isofrane on it, it fits well as its quite flexible and I kind of prefer the wider strap but that's just me.
I am not a fan of third party straps. But if you like, I think a blue strap or a strap with blue accents will be nice. Pure black is too plain.
Blue is nice but the grey is really cool, I'd go for that.
The strap was US$180 the signed buckle was US$255.
Not mine, but The New Isofrane post #321, credit to member THG: I don't instantly love it. The lugs & case on the BB are so thick/tall, and the non-tapering Isofrane is too wide everywhere except the lugs. Cheap trial and error isn't a bad idea. On paper, I think a 2-piece strap that tapers in width and has the right thickness at the springbars would be best. Maybe a custom jobby from Gunny straps, etc. Start with forum sponsors Share pics!
Do you have any idea of how much this would cost? Interested in getting it done.
it is a full size. Possibly the angle distorts the overall impression. The Mark XVII does wear quite large due to no bezel and a large dial.
Hello All! I have recently acquired a vintage IWC. I love the watch and the design but i am concerned that the watch is a redial. It would be great if anyone could assist me with making this decision as I am fairly inexperienced in this field! If anyone knows any further details on the watch I would also be extremely grateful! Thank you in advance!


The computer science program provides opportunities for students to join vibrant collaborative and interdisciplinary efforts in artificial intelligence, computer animation and virtual environments, cyber-physical systems, distributed real-time and embedded middleware, human-systems integration, image processing, intelligent learning environments, model-integrated computing, robotics, software engineering and trustworthy computing. Students can explore a broad range of research areas in computer science, as well as interdisciplinary research opportunities in areas related to the School of Engineering's strategic directions in health care and medicine, security, energy and natural resources and entertainment.
The department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Vanderbilt University offers Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Science (M.S.) degrees in Computer Science (CS). The graduate program in CS is structured around six primary areas: (1) distributed and networked systems, (2) embedded and hybrid systems, (3) image processing and graphics, (4) intelligent systems, (5) software and systems engineering, and (6) theory. The CS graduate program encourages both fundamental and interdisciplinary research. State-of-the-art facilities that include computational resources, networks, and laboratories in several areas are available to support research activities.
Beginning August 2019, an online option for the M.S. degree in computer science is available. Applications to both the online and residency programs are managed separately. Students may not combine the online and residency formats to complete the computer science degree program.
Electrical engineering students have the opportunity to participate in research that is propelling those changes with the potential to impact virtually every human system, from health care to education, transportation, defense and the environment. Significant research programs in electrical engineering focus on carbon, diamond and silicon nanotechnology, hybrid and embedded systems, medical image processing, photonics, radiation effects and reliability and robotics. Many faculty members are involved with the Institute for Software Integrated Systems and the Institute for Space and Defense Electronics, which support leading-edge basic and applied research important to critical commercial and government systems. In addition, several faculty members are affiliated with the Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and the Vanderbilt Initiative in Surgery and Engineering.

Pride and Prejudice: Darcy's Ardent Love
Colin Firth as Darcy
Ardently in Love with Elizabeth
I've been using my time alone to work on an article about love and resentment in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and I've been trying to understand why Fitzwilliam Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth Bennet even though he considers her his social inferior:
As we know from the novel, although Darcy initially has no interest in Elizabeth and even deplores her inferior social status, he soon begins to notice her attractive features, especially the way in which her face is "rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes," the "light and pleasing" aspect of her figure, and the "easy playfulness" of her manners (26). From this series of closely spaced moments of recognition, Darcy discovers to his surprise that he is attracted. He begins "to wish to know more of her" and therefore starts to attend "to her conversation with others" (26). He will certainly come to note that she enjoys reading, for in his presence, she turns down a card game in favor of a book (40), and in a conversation that soon follows, Darcy maintains that for a woman to be truly accomplished, she must demonstrate "improvement of her mind by extensive reading" (43). He also enjoys conversation (27-28), attends to hers, as already noted (26), and obviously delights in her conversational art, as evidenced by his smiles at her verbal adroitness (49, 63, 102, 197, et passim). Elizabeth's attractiveness for him is thus both physical and intellectual, and already at an early meeting, due to the "mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner," he finds himself never "so bewitched by any woman as he was by her" and realizes that he could "be in some danger" if he were not careful, yet he continues to admire the "colour and shape, and the eyelashes, so remarkably fine," of her eyes (56-7) and also later pardons her friendship with the despised Wickham due to his own "tolerably powerful feeling towards her" (105). He regularly attempts, however, to maintain emotional distance from her because of her social inferiority, as when he scarcely speaks "ten words to her through the whole of" a day (66) or when he adopts "a colder voice" in her presence (201), but despite his best efforts to resist her charms, he falls ever more deeply in love with her through each subsequent meeting, as he confesses to her in his initial proposal of marriage:
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (211)
His was a genuine struggle between an elevated pride and an overwhelming love, for when he finally approached her to propose, "he came towards her in an agitated manner" (211) but expressed himself eloquently in "representing to her the strength of that attachment which, in spite of all his endeavors, he had found impossible to conquer" (212).
I'll need to rework and strengthen this passage, but I think that it hits on the principle reasons that Darcy falls for Elizabeth despite his elevated pride even as it prepares for the subsequent struggle between Darcy's continued love for and roused resentment at Elizabeth.
By the way, all citations are from the Cambridge Edition of Pride and Prejudice (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006), an annotated, scholarly text edited by Pat Rogers, and I appreciate Google Books for making this sort of research possible for me.

Mr. Hodges
I was wondering about the progress of your writing on Austen's Pride and Prejudice as you mentioned it before.
I should re-read it again. This post reminded me of that Darcy's
struggle not to fall in love with Elizabeth was my favorite part.

Patience & Sarah. A Pioneering Love Story
The Opera
The Cast & Team
1998 production of PATIENCE & SARAH at the Lincoln Center Festival. Photo by Ken Howard.
Patience & Sarah is the first opera by composer by Paula M. Kimper. Set in Connecticut in the winter of 1816, the opera tells the powerful story of two young women who meet, fall in love and resolve to devote their lives to each other. The artist Patience White, sister to a middle-class Connecticut landowner, and tough-minded, adventurous Sarah Dowling, the daughter of a poor farmer, share a mutual dream of leaving behind their repressive lives to go pioneering together, defying their families' attempts to prevent it.
The libretto by Wende Persons is based on the 1969 novel by Isabel Miller, which in turn was inspired by the true story of two 19th-century women, the painter Mary Ann Willson and her companion Florence Brundage. Today Willson is recognized as an outstanding primitive artist; her paintings may be seen in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Folk Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
Commissioned and developed by American Opera Projects, the opera's sold out premiere at the Lincoln Center Festival, July 1998, was lauded by The New York Times, Opera News, New York Magazine, The Village Voice, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Out Magazine, The Advocate, and others. The musical style is richly lyrical, with soaring vocal lines that have been likened to Richard Strauss and Puccini, and beautiful, evocative orchestral colors.
Other productions of the opera include: Denver Opera Company, 2000; Balliwick Repertory Theater, Chicago, 2000; Hebdon Bridge Arts Festival, England, 2002; First Unitarian Church of Oakland, CA, 2007.

The first requirement is a completed and signed application form and payment of the $120 application fee which covers the whole family. Your details are then entered onto our enrolment database.
We require copies of birth certificates, immunisation records and two most recent school reports (originals must be sighted prior to enrolment) to progress your application (and passport details for temporary residents or International Students).
If there is a place available and we are in receipt of all your documents, Enrolments Officer, Charmaine Sparg will contact you for an interview with the Principal. A member of the Senior Leadership Team representing the Board will also be present (usually the Marketing & Enrolments Manager, Ruston Long). This usually happens 1-2 years prior to commencement of the student(s).
On the day of the interview please come prepared to pay an Enrolment Deposit (E.D.) currently $400 per student, capped at $1200. MasterCard and Visa credit cards are accepted. This payment will ensure that you are kept on the waiting list and if a place is available it will be secured. It is non-refundable and not credited against school fees. If no place is available the Enrolment Deposit will lift you above others on the waiting list who have not paid it within 7 days of their Principal's interview.
For students entering into Years 7-12, there is a brief subject elective meeting with Deputy Principal, Liz Robertson immediately following the Principal's interview.
It is important to note that we have a strong Christian ethos here. All families must sign the statement of faith on the application form as this is what your children will be taught. At least one parent must be able to articulate their Christian faith both on the application form and at the Principal's interview to qualify for membership. We have a limited number of places available for enrolment, rather than membership for other families.

New youth vloggers aim to inspire Tomorrow's Engineers
Posted on 3 Sep 2015 by Jonny Williamson
Two young vloggers (video bloggers) have joined the Tomorrow's Engineers Week 2015 campaign to serve as role models for industry and their peers.
A-Level student, Lily Kate France from Lancashire, and chemical engineering undergraduate from the University College London, Nayeeb Chowdhury have been appointed to inspire young people to consider a career in engineering.
A-Level student, Lily Kate France.
The pair will create exclusive YouTube content including going behind-the-scenes of household brands; interviews with inspiring young engineers; explanations of new innovations such as wearable tech, and collaborative vlogs with well-known YouTubers.
The appointment of the vloggers comes as new figures, released by the Your Life campaign to encourage students to study maths and physics at A-Level, have revealed vloggers could have a major impact on young people's aspirations.
Nearly a quarter of 11-19 year old girls (24%) and one in ten boys claim lifestyle YouTube vlogger Zoella is a role model, while Global Web Index data suggests more than half of teenagers are now using YouTube to find information.
The vloggers recruited by Tomorrow's Engineers will help dispel myths around engineering and inspire young people to consider it as a career option.
Lily Kate France, aged 17, from Preston, has just secured four As at AS level, and after blogging for two years has been signed up by Tomorrow's Engineers to inspire young girls through social media to consider a career in engineering.
Chemical engineering undergraduate, Nayeeb Chowdhury.
Nayeeb Chowdhury, aged 21, from Croydon, impressed the team with his experience and accolades in STEM, and as a result, he will assist France in creating engaging content.
EngineeringUK chief executive, Paul Jackson commented: "Lily and Nayeeb are energetic STEM advocates who will bring engineering to life for young people across the UK.
"Vlogging brings a new dimension to Tomorrow's Engineers Week with our new young stars showcasing engineering in action across the UK. We want as many engineers as possible to feature as they highlight the wonderful careers engineering has to offer."
Now in its third year, Tomorrow's Engineers Week aims to challenge perceptions of engineering among young people and encourage young people to choose STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.
Tomorrow's Engineers Week uses topical issues, celebrities and competition prizes relevant to young people to inspire them to consider their next steps in STEM.
Tomorrow's Engineers Week 2015 takes place from November 2 – 6, 2015: visit www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk for more information.
