SEATTLE — For Jacob Eason, Wednesday morning's University of Washington football practice at Husky Stadium, which opened the team's four-week spring camp, was much like any other since he arrived on campus.
He's still the physical specimen who at 6-foot-6 rises above the crowd, even when surrounded by other elite college athletes.
He's still the quarterback with the big arm, zinging the ball around the field with an ease that makes one wonder if he's taxing himself at all.
However, there was one significant difference Wednesday. Eason's waiting period is now officially over, and the Lake Stevens High School graduate's drive to become Washington's starting QB has begun.
Eason is eligible again after redshirting during the 2018 season following his transfer from Georgia, and Wednesday marked the beginning of his preparations for getting back into games that count.
This is the start of a big year for Eason, who is as decorated a prep football player ever produced by Snohomish County. In 2015 as a senior he led Lake Stevens to the 4A state semifinals and was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year. In 2016 he started as a true freshman for the University of Georgia.
But Eason transferred to Washington last February after a knee injury saw him cede the Bulldogs' starting job to Jake Fromm. Now Eason, who will be a junior in 2019, is the talented hometown kid who's considered the presumptive successor to graduated four-year starter Jake Browning, the winningest quarterback in school history.
Though Eason is thought to be Browning's heir apparent, he spent most of Wednesday's practice running the Huskies' No. 2 offense. Sophomore Jake Haener, who served as Browning's backup last season, received most of the reps with the first unit.
And while Washington coach Chris Petersen had high praise for Eason the individual, he made a point of tempering expectations for Eason the quarterback.
"What I learned about Jacob (during his redshirt season) is he's a really good guy," Petersen said. "He obviously can sling the ball, you could see it in high school, you could see it here. I got to know him and be around him and see how he interacts with the guys, he just does a nice job of fitting in with everybody. That's probably the No. 1 thing that jumped out to me.
Indeed, the last time Eason saw game action was on Oct. 7, 2017, when he got mop-up duty in Georgia's 45-14 rout of Vanderbilt. But Eason used his redshirt season well, being named Washington's scout team Most Valuable Player in 2018 as he emulated the opposing quarterbacks for the Huskies' No. 1 defense.
"Playing against guys like (Taylor Rapp), it's unbelievable," Eason said. "You get to go against those guys every day. Even though I wasn't playing on Saturdays, I was getting that much better in practice.
Eason also used his time on the sidelines to learn what he could from Browning.
As to whether he expects to earn the starting job, Eason said he isn't thinking about that.
There are five players from Snohomish County high schools on Washington's spring practice roster, including Eason. Among the others, senior defensive lineman John Clark (Marysville Getchell) rotated between the first-, second- and third-team defenses; freshman cornerback Kyler Gordon (Archbishop Murphy) played with the second-team defense; senior running back Malik Braxton (Meadowdale) played with the third- and fourth-team offenses; and freshman linebacker Ben Hines (Archbishop Murphy) played with the third- and fourth-team defenses.


The Orangeburg County Aquatic Center consists of an indoor recreational facility and outdoor water park and will be operated in collaboration with the Columbia YMCA and Orangeburg County.
The 45,000 sq. ft. indoor facilities includes a full size 4,000 sq. ft. six lane 25-meter competition swimming pool, 330 sq. ft. therapeutic spa, full court basketball facility, fitness and exercise rooms, child care, food service kitchen, locker and shower rooms.
The 7,800 sq. ft. outdoor water park consists of two elevated waterslides with a waterfall flowing into a zero beach entry, a 35 ft. tall bowl slide, a lazy river, a myriad of spray features, hydrotherapy bench seating, an interactive play structure, and a 280 sq. ft. children's tot pool with a slide and water sprays.

Антон Фридрих Юстус Тибо (; 4 января 1772, Хамельн — 20 марта 1840, Гейдельберг) — немецкий юрист и музыкант.

Происхождение и образование
Антон Фридрих Юстус Тибо родился в Хамельне, что в Курфюршестве Ганновер, в семье офицера ганноверской армии. Родители его происходили из французских изгнанников-гугенотов.

После окончания школы в Хамельне и Ганновере, Тибо поступил в Гёттингенский университет, где начал изучать юриспруденцию. Впоследствии он перешёл оттуда в Кёнигсбергский университет, где слушал курс у Иммануила Канта, а потом в Кильский университет, где учился вместе с Бартольдом Георгом Нибуром. Там он получил учёную степень доктора юридических наук и должность приват-доцента.

Юридическая карьера
В 1798 году Тибо был назначен экстраординарным профессором гражданского права, и в том же году появилась его сочинение «Versuche über einzelne Theile der Theorie des Rechts» (1798), сборник эссе по теории права, из которых самым важным можно назвать «Über den Einfluss der Philosophie auf die Auslegung der positiven Gesetze», в котором он указывал, что история без философии не может объяснить и раскрыть сущность права.

Антона Фридриха Юстуса Тибо считают обыкновенно представителем так называемой «философской школы права» и отодвигают этим существо его идей к XVIII веку, приписывая ему все достоинства и увлечения этого века в противоположность научным идеям начала XIX века, когда доминировали идеи исторической школы права, в частности, Савиньи. На самом деле влияния учителя — Канта, и друга — Нибура, сделали из Тибо гораздо более представителя новой школы, юриста «историко-философского» направления (как себя и называл сам Тибо) — направления, полный расцвет которого наступил лишь во второй половине XIX века.

В сочинениях Тибо нет общей, формально-логической схемы идей естественного права, из которой последовательно выводились бы частые изложения науки. Также, Тибо резко отрицает крайности философской школы и защищает значение истории права, изучение которой настойчиво рекомендует всякому практику, желающему понять право в его идеях, основах и развитии, а не только в букве закона.

В 1799 году вышла одна из его ключевых работ — «Theorie der logischen Auslegung des römischen Rechts». В 1802 году он публикует критические замечания к теории уголовного права Пауля Йоханна Анзельма фон Фейербаха, сходные с позицией Джереми Бентама. В том же году у Тибо выходит трактат о праве собственности и его ограничениях — «Über Besitz und Verjahrung».

В 1802 году Антон Фридрих Юстус Тибо был приглашён в университет Йены, где пробыл три года, написав в это время свой основной труд «System des Pandektenrechts» (1803), выдержавший многочисленные переиздания.

Книга приобрела известность, потому что явилась первым настолько полным собранием, свободно и подробно осветившим современные вопросы применения римского права в Германии. Она поспособствовала кодификации римского права, обобщению его с наработками канонического права и судебной практики, установлению пандектной системы гражданского права.

По приглашению Великого герцога Бадена Карла Фридриха Тибо перешёл в Гейдельбергский университет, чтобы занять кафедру гражданского права и оказать содействие в организации университета.

После этого он никогда не покидал Гейдельберга, хотя благодаря растущей известности, ему предлагали места в Гёттингене, Мюнхене и Лейпциге. Его слава и влияние среди юристов того времени были так велики, что могли сравнится только с Густавом Гуго и Фридрихом Карлом фон Савиньи.

В 1814 году вышло его «Civilistische Abhandlungen», из которых главным было знаменитое эссе, вызвавшее оживлённую полемику, о необходимости введения национального кодекса гражданского права для Германии.

Эссе о необходимости германского гражданского кодекса («Über die Nothwendigkeit eines allgemeinen bürgerlichen Rechts für Deutschland»), было вызвано энтузиазмом освободительной войны с Наполеоном и написано за 14 дней. В своих мемуарах «Archiv für die civilistische Praxis» (1838) Тибо объяснил, чем было вызвано вдохновение при написании этого памятного сочинения. Он осознавал те перемены, которые влечёт для будущего Германии, поход немецких солдат к Парижу в 1814 году. Хотя он поддерживал раздробленную политическую систему государств Германии, в то же время считал, что страна нуждалась в едином праве. Поэтому Тибо призывал работать над этой проблемой все германские правительства. Его эссе явилось важным аргументом за кодификацию германского права.

Савиньи принял этот вызов, написав в ответ «Über den Beruf unserer Zeit für Gesetzgebung und Rechtswissenschaft» (1814). Спор Тибо и Савиньи, хотя и дал рождение исторической школе права, позволив последнему выдвинуться на первый план с проповедью бессознательного образования права из народной жизни (см. Национальный дух), в конце концов, завершился победой Тибо.

В 1819 году Антон Фридрих Юстус Тибо стал членом верхней палаты созданного в Бадене парламента. Он был также членом суда по бракоразводным делам ().

В 1836 году он опубликовал «Erorterungen des romischen Rechts». Одной из последних его работ стал вклад в «Archiv für die civilistische Praxis» (1838), где он был одним из редакторов.

Тибо умер после непродолжительной болезни 20 марта 1840 в Гейдельберге.

Семья
Тибо женился в 1800 году на дочери профессора Алерса из Киля. Его брат Бернард Фридрих Тибо был профессором математики в Гёттингене.

Наследие
Помимо юридической деятельности Тибо известен и как музыкант. В 1824 году он анонимно опубликовал сочинение «О чистоте музыки» («Über die Reinheit der Tonkunst»), в которой выступил против засилья современной ему церковной музыки, и призвал вернуться к «классическим» композиторам, таким как Джованни Пьерлуиджи да Палестрина, Томас Луис де Виктория и Орландо ди Лассо. Он коллекционировал старые композиции и часто посылал молодых людей в Италию, за свой счёт, чтобы приобрести музыкальные рукописи.

Создатели Гражданского кодекса Германии — Германского гражданского уложения () при классификации частно-правовых тем в немалой степени использовали метод Тибо. В то же время, кодекс соединил в себе общее право нескольких германских государств, которые было смешано с usus pandectarum в гармоничное целое, что не отражает его влияния. Тибо был одним из самых ранних критиков разделов, установленных Институциями Юстиниана, и вёл с Густавом Гуго споры по этим вопросам.

Total knee replacement is a very successful surgical treatment for knee arthritis. Over the years, minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed to lessen tissue trauma and improve patient outcomes. This minimally invasive approach involves much smaller incisions than the usual 10-12 inch incisions used in traditional knee replacement and spares the quadriceps muscle and tendon, which control bending of the knee, from being cut to access the knee joint.
As there is less tissue damage around the knee during the minimally invasive surgery, you can expect a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and smaller surgical scar.

Labour MP Glenn Bedingfield has been given another lucrative contract by the government, this time to act as executive chairman of the Cottonera Rehabilitation Committee.
The Sunday Times of Malta has learnt that for this full-time job, which the Labour MP representing Cottonera performs from an office inside the Cospicua local council, Mr Bedingfield is paid over €43,000 a year, apart from the €20,000 honorarium he receives as an MP.
Until last December, the long-time close friend of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat was serving in Dr Muscat's private secretariat on a person-of-trust basis. His job was to coordinate parliamentary questions for the Office of the Prime Minster.
However, since he was elected to Parliament through a casual election in June 2017, Mr Bedingfield's position was deemed untenable as he could not be tasked any longer with drafting parliamentary questions while he himself was an MP.
His salary has now been transferred to the Justice Ministry.
He is tasked with developing a strategy plan for the regeneration of Cottonera
Asked for information, a ministry spokesman said that his work contract was identical to the one he had as part of Dr Muscat's secretariat.
Information obtained through a Freedom of Information request shows that the Labour MP's new position was created just a day after his contract at the OPM came to an end.
As executive chairman of the Cottonera Rehabilitation Committee, Mr Bedingfield receives a salary commensurate with that of an assistant director with the public service together with an overtime allowance of nearly €8,000 a year and a car allowance of €4,658 a year.
His mobile phone bill is also covered by taxpayers.
His contract, signed nearly two months after he actually started his new job, does not stipulate where he has to report for work, to whom and the number of hours requested. He reports directly to the Justice Minister.
He is tasked with developing a strategy plan for the regeneration of Cottonera and to coordinate meetings of the rehabilitation committee, among other duties.
Mr Bedingfield is one of several Labour MPs who have either been put on the government payroll or given lucrative public contracts by Dr Muscat. Article 55(1) (c) of the Constitution lays down that the seat of an MP may become "vacant" if they are engaged on a contract of works with the government, unless exempted by Parliament.
Some legal minds opine that giving government jobs to MPs may be in breach of the Constitution. No one has yet presented a legal challenge.

Mother Daughter Book Reviews is pleased to welcome author Jemima Pett as a guest contributor with us today. Ms. Pett is here to share information about the "Great Middle Grade Reads" group on Goodreads.
Do you read MDBR regularly? Do you like Middle Grade books – for the 8-14 age group? Are you a Goodreads member?
If the answer to all three is yes, then you probably know all about the Great Middle Grade Reads group on Goodreads. No? Well, read on.
Goodreads is one of many enjoyable places to list the books you read, keep a tally of what you've read and what you want to read (your To Be Read or TBR list). Many people post reviews and judge books by the reviews there, as well as on the buying sites. In some ways, Goodreads is better than buying sites because you can drill down into who the reviewers are, what else they review and get a feel for how their tastes match your own.
I'd been on Goodreads for about six months when I got a message from SW Lothian about a new group he'd set up specifically for Middle Grade book readers. I asked SW about this and he shared his thoughts with me.
Since I'd published my own MG books, The Princelings of the East, and was keen to understand more about what readers wanted (okay, and get my books in front of them), I joined up. I found a lovely community, all interested in the same genre, but disagreeing on all sorts of things within that, as a good community may do. I hung out, made some good friends and did whatever I wanted – and had fun. I found I could promote my books – but only in the Author's corner – a fact which stops some good discussions being made very boring by 'buy my book' requests. Most Goodreads groups have similar rules, but many new authors continue to forget them.
It's one of very few rules on the group. Most of the others are about the nominations for our Book of the Month, mainly to ensure they are accessible without undue expense. The main one is the mantra that pops up to remind everyone as they post on the site "Respect, Tolerance, Good vibes. Support." It's a great way of cooling a heated discussion about a book – and that does happen!
What about Middle Grade aged readers?
Goodreads has a rule about members being over 13 years old, so that makes it difficult. We have some people whose parents supervise them, or get books for review for them, and post up their reviews in the appropriate section. We also have school groups that participate, supervised by their teachers. That can produce very lively debate, the big question of "What is a Middle Grade Read?" being one of them – it has a thread all of its own. It can also shift the balance towards the upper end of Middle Grade, but that is counterbalanced at other times, with discussion and involvement.
I've been fascinated to be involved, some times more actively than others, with this group. It's a continual source of knowledge and understanding about what this age group enjoys, as well as new themes and interests – and gaps in the market. Most of all, it gets me reading books that I might not otherwise have noticed.
I asked SW what his plans for the group are.
"Well, I just linger in the background without interfering or pushing my own opinions. I'm open to remodelling or renovation when time permits, but at present, I think people enjoy it as it is. I have set up a GMGR board on Pinterest, and anyone who wants to add books to it can message me to be added to it as a member. It's used frequently and has stacks of recommendations on it. In some ways I wish we could do better with the read for review and book reviews threads. Of course, most of the offerings are from indie authors, and there's an unlimited supply of those – but not many kids pick them up and post their reviews. It's the membership restriction, of course. So we have a thread for reviews by adult members.
I think SW's certainly achieved that. With sections on the Book Of the Month, Specific books/series, Library, MG Blogs and Resources, Book Offers and Giveaways, Currently reading, Read4 Review, Authors' Corner, and General Discussion, there's something for all the 1,773 members.
If you're not one of them, come over and visit. We're sure you'll enjoy what you see. You just have to be a Goodreads member to join. It's all free.
Jemima Pett is the author of the Princelings of the East series of MG time travel/scifi books, as well as editor of the BookElves Anthologies. She is currently working on her new adult science fiction series, starting with The Perihelix, and has been a Moderator of the Great Middle Grade Reads group since August this year.
As well as being the instigator of the GMGR group on Goodreads, SW Lothian is the author of The Quest series and the Time Square series. He is currently devoting most of his spare time to raising awareness of Childhood Cancer, with a view to funding research leading to a cure.
Great write-up, Jemima! I didn't realize our little group (I'm another active member and less-active Mod) had so many members! But we certainly have been having some lively discussions!
That's the number listed, but I dare say most of them don't visit often!
Come and check us out everyone. The more the merrier.

Fraud Allegation: What do Nigerians say about FUTA student who died by suicide?
by Grace Aderemi
Written by Grace Aderemi
Nigerians are agonising over the death of Olona Joseph Oluwapelumi who was found hanging from the ceiling of his room off-campus on Saturday, January 21st 2023.
Joseph was a 300 level student of Industrial Design at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo state. He was the financial secretary of his department and reported to have been accused of fraud.
A friend of the deceased, Omoniyi Enoch during an interview with the some campus journalists in the school, gave details of the fraud allegation.
According to Enoch, "When school resumed for the 2021/2022 session, the treasurer of the department was not around to receive payment for dues. Joseph (Olona) decided to receive the payments from students.
"The president requested that he should send N100,000 to him for a departmental project. Joseph sent it using his digital bank – Carbon. He was debited but the president did not receive the payment. Several mails were sent to the bank but the issue wasn't resolved."
Omoniyi said the lack of communication from the digital platform got his friend worried as his mates stayed away from him. He also stopped attending lectures because of the pressure.
On Friday morning, Joseph informed Omoniyi that the head of his department had called his dad to inform that his son (Joseph) had been engaged in fraud.
"He was very disturbed about it. He requested to follow me to my office at the Students' Union Building because he didn't want to stay alone. I left him at the office to attend the homecoming event that was held at T.I Francis auditorium and also watched the Awopegba match.
"When I got back to the office, he had already locked the office door. He came back to give me the keys and left. When I got home, I forced him to eat. At 7:40pm, I knocked on his door but he didn't open. I left thinking he was still angry at me for leaving him at the office. At 8:30pm, I knocked again but there was no response. At 10:01pm, I tried again but there was no response and I went to sleep.
"In the morning, I went to knock around 8am but there was no response. I had to go and check through his window and I saw him hanging from the ceiling." Omoniyi said.
In a statement issued by the Student Union Government and signed by its President, Jesunifemi Asoore, Joseph was said to have been confirmed dead in the early hours of Saturday, January 21, 2023.
As the news broke on social media, netizens have been sharing divergent views. Whereas some expressed their condolences and called for mental health awareness, others faulted the head of department and the digital platform for failing to respond to the mails.
May his soul rest in peace, depression should really be jettisoned amongst students -EluyeraAbiodun (@eluyera-abiodun)
Suicide isn't the last option, where there is life there is hope😔Rip – Web 3 (@web3child)
It's pathetic. Share your problem. You have no right to take your life. -Charles Barefe(@charlesBarefe)
We are all saying "he should have spoken up "but isn't everyone shouting sapa, are we not seeing Shegebanza again. You don't need to blame the dead. The deed has been done instead, check on a friend today, put a call through and know about their well being. RIP Tart Angle –Akinwande Ayomide James (@Ayomide_VIP1)
This is so sad and 💔. I think parents have alot of homework to do with their children at home. This shouldn't be. -Sarah Stephen (@SarahSt14200466).
When you see people, young and old committing suicide just because they are broke or in debt, you wonder what kind of country is this. Unfortunately, we don't learn. We will still vote the same people. No plans to cater for the poor – A.K John (AKJohn24034890).
This sad tale could be avoided. Persons involved if only they had been kinder in the words. If only the bank was proactive to this issue , all this could have been avoided. Mental health is real and doesn't take so much to put it into account – ThatMentalChick (@Teelash DavidoO).
Why would the HOD involve the father to lay an unfounded allegation against him? Did the Dept/Union get a formal report from Carbon before concluding that he actually lied about the fund transfer?? So many unanswered questions – 'engraced (@damilarelr).
His HOD accused him of Fraud? If this is true then the HOD has some explaining to do. What happened to wrapping an arm around a young boy with no prior criminal record rather than hanging him out to dry. – Olumide Abiodun Akinyemi (Facebook)
Meanwhile, our reporter tried reaching out to Carbon digital bank for their comments on the story, but no response was received as at time this report was published. New developments will be shared as the story unfolds.

The health effects of pesticides
Uncategorised / By Jacqui Carrel
Pesticides include insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides and antimicrobials. For the purposes of this post, we'll look at the effects of the most ubiquitous – the insecticides and herbicides – which contain both active and inert ingredients.
Pesticides affect our health
Active ingredients are there to kill the pest(s) and plants and the inert ingredients are there to help the active ingredients to work more effectively. Inert ingredients, which don't have to appear on the labelling, can include solvents that may be toxic if inhaled or absorbed by the skin.
Pesticide exposure can cause a range of neurological health effects; symptoms are often very subtle and may not be recognised by doctors for what they are. Effects range from short-term impacts such as headaches and nausea to chronic impacts like cancer, reproductive harm, and endocrine disruption.
Acute impacts include nerve, skin and eye irritation and damage, headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and systemic poisoning. Acute poisoning can sometimes be fatal.
Adverse health effects include memory loss, loss of coordination, reduced speed of response to stimuli, reduced visual ability, altered or uncontrollable mood and general behaviour, reduced motor skills, asthma, allergies, and hypersensitivity, cancer, hormone disruption, and problems with reproduction and foetal development.
Pre-natal exposure
Animal studies link many of these conditions with prenatal exposure to hormone disrupting substances:
Hypospadias, undescended testes and other birth defects
Precocious puberty in girls
Reduced sperm counts and other fertility problems
Children and pesticide exposure
Children are at greater risk from exposure to pesticides because of their small size: relative to their size, children eat, drink, and breathe more than adults. Even very low levels of exposure during development may have adverse health effects, such as ill health and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Children's bodies and organs are growing rapidly, which also makes them more susceptible; in fact, children may be exposed to pesticides even while in utero. Later, playing in the grass and on carpets, putting objects into their mouth, etc, means their exposure to toxic pesticides carries on.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) or Environmental Illness
MCS/Environmental Illness is a medical condition characterised by the body's inability to tolerate relatively low exposure to chemicals; exposure to pesticides is a common way for individuals to develop MCS. Once the condition is present, symptoms, including cardiovascular problems, depression, muscle and joint pains and more, are easily started off again. Over time, individuals suffering from MCS will begin to react adversely to substances that formerly did not affect them.
Pesticides and cancers
Pesticides can cause many types of cancer in humans. Some of the most prevalent forms include leukaemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, brain, bone, breast, ovarian, prostate, testicular and liver cancers.
Studies show worrying trends. For example:
Children who live in homes where their parents use pesticides are twice as likely to develop brain cancer than those where no pesticides are used
American farmers, who in most respects are healthier than the population at large, showed worrying incidences of leukaemia, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and many other forms of cancer
Insecticides and their effects
Organochlorides: Acute ingestion of organochlorine insecticides can cause a loss of sensation around the mouth, hypersensitivity to light, sound and touch, dizziness, tremors, nausea, vomiting, nervousness, and confusion.
Organophosphates and carbamates: Acute exposure causes signs and symptoms of excess acetylcholine, such as increased salivation and perspiration, narrowing of the pupils, nausea, diarrhoea, decrease in blood pressure, muscle weakness and fatigue. (These symptoms usually decline within days after exposure ends as acetylcholine levels return to normal.) Some organophosphates also have a delayed neurological reaction characterised by muscle weakness in the legs and arms.
Pyrethroids: Pyrethroids are organic compounds similar to the natural pyrethrins produced by the flowers of pyrethrums. Pyrethroids now constitute the majority of commercial household insecticides as they were found to be a 'safer' alternative to organophosphates. However, they can cause hyper-excitation, aggressiveness, lack of coordination, whole-body tremors, and seizures for up to 24 hours. Pyrethroids can cause an allergic skin response, and some may cause cancer or affect reproduction, development, and the endocrine system.
Herbicides and their effects
Herbicides are generally less toxic to mammals than insecticides as most herbicides are systemic, interfering with plant hormones, enzymes and cells. However, some herbicides may cause cancer, reproductive and developmental problems, or affect the endocrine system.
The worst herbicides (banned now, but still around) are those containing dioxin (TCDD) exposure to which can give rise to birth defects, cancers, liver disease, and other illness.
Only certain herbicides are allowed to be used near water because they break down and do not negatively affect the ecosystem, but soil erosion can cause herbicides to run off into water bodies, where the herbicide ends up in the human water supply and may also affect wildlife.
Roundup, one of the most common herbicides, contains atrazine; this has been found to interfere with enzyme production and steroid synthesis. It has been implicated in inhibiting the development of human placenta cells, causing miscarriage. Atrazine can also cause abnormal birth rate, which has caused Europe to ban the herbicide.

Don't get fooled by the fluffy white snow and shimmering clear icicles. Although it may be nice to look at, the sense of a "winter wonderland" can easily lose its excitement after the 50th centimetre of snow gets whipped in your face as you stare into the never-ending blizzard. The winter months are a tricky few weeks of guessing as you could have a mild spring-like essence or days of perpetual cold. As someone who has grown up my whole life in a town that has had both early springs and days of ice, slush and snow, (oh my!) I know a thing or two about getting through snowstorms unscathed. Here are some winter essentials that you should have in your home if you live in a white winter climate.
With advances in technology in recent years, almost anything can now be done online. Nowadays all you need to do is pick up a phone or open up a laptop in order to buy almost anything, learn almost anything, keep occupied or even to make money. Therefore, hopefully, most people will not need to venture outdoors when the temperatures drop. However, if you are one of those individuals who is required to venture outside on a snowy day, make sure that your vehicle is also up to the task. Make sure to have the latest winter tires on your car well before the first snow falls. To add to this, a general rule is to make sure that the tread of the tire is deep enough and not worn out. Along with tires, your de-icing fluid tank should be stocked and your window scrubber will be your frosty friend to the end.
There is a reason to why some animal migrates or hibernate during the winter months. Humans can do this too. Unfortunately, however, many of us can't afford (either through time or money) to migrate. In that case, a form of hibernation should be put into action. Make sure that you are first stocked up in your pantry and fridge. You never know when a storm will hit and the roads will close but you and your family will still need to eat. Secondly, make sure that you are eating the right foods. Warm meals are a must as well as foods that can last for a long time and need little preparation in case of a power outage.
Most people have heard the expression that your body is a temple. In this case, I agree. Cold winter weather can take a sometimes dangerous and always harsh toll on the body. This means that you should always dress appropriately for the season in an outfit that includes a winter coat, snow boots, a hat, scarf, snow gloves and snow pants if needed. Don't be afraid to layer up as well in sweaters, socks and long or thermal undergarments. I'm begging you, please choose substance over style!

Death of the old school yearbook
By Blake Ellis June 12, 2011: 12:22 PM ET
Online yearbook photos, like the ones featuring CNNMoney employees above, are growing in popularity as schools cut budgets. Click on the image to hear how one school made the switch.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- As graduation day arrives, students will say goodbye to their classmates and teachers. And many are departing without a traditional yearbook to preserve those memories.
State budget cuts and the weak economy are causing elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and colleges across the country to either do away with yearbooks or look for more cost-effective publishing options.
Research firm IBISWorld estimates that the traditional yearbook publishing industry has seen sales to schools decline by 4.7% a year over the past few years.
The decline has come as both public and private schools struggling with insufficient funding put their limited resources toward areas like staffing instead publishing yearbooks -- many of which go unsold, especially in recent years as disposable incomes have suffered.
"Our country is handing out pink slips to teachers right and left, and if it comes down to teachers versus yearbooks, yearbooks are going to lose," said Marc Strohlein, principal at consulting firm Agile Business Logic.
Budget crunch
This is the first year that Indiana's Huntington University isn't offering yearbooks, after budget constraints forced the school to reallocate the $40,000 year it typically spends to publish 750 yearbooks.
"Budgets being what they were and the economy being what it was, forced our hand on this one," said Ron Coffey, Huntington's vice president for community development. "But I think given the economic times, the students are understanding of the difficulties that we and other schools are experiencing."
Students at Mokena Junior High School, in Illinois, won't be taking home yearbooks either, after the school district lost funding for all extracurricular activities this year.
And Blaine High School in Washington is in the same boat, and likely won't be handing out yearbooks next year due to a severe lack of funding for the program.
American teachers under attack
But while some schools are abolishing the keepsake altogether, others are turning to new online yearbook companies like YearBook Alive, Lulu, Lifetouch and TreeRing.
TreeRing, for example, is an electronic yearbook company that lets schools design yearbooks, giving students the option of viewing them online, or ordering a printed copy for just $12 to $17 per book. More than a million photos have already been uploaded, and more than 50,000 students are using its services.
TreeRing says it is now providing yearbooks for hundreds of schools that would have otherwise eliminated the tradition altogether. Sales have soared 600% since the company launched two years ago.
The company estimates that each school saves an average of $300 to $1,000 in unnecessary printing costs -- adding up to a combined savings of between $100,000 to $200,000 this year for all the schools using TreeRing.
Students typically have to pay for their yearbooks to help defray costs for the schools. But because schools don't always know exactly how many students will want yearbooks once they arrive, they often place big orders with the traditional publishing companies and are left with many unsold yearbooks that the payments they get from students don't come close to covering.
"We just signed on with a school in San Francisco that was losing almost $2,000 a year in leftover books," said Aaron Greco, co-founder of TreeRing. "It's just so crazy, because $2,000 could buy five computers with an education discount."
While the major publishing companies mass produce yearbooks using the traditional -- and expensive -- printing method of offset, electronic printing has improved so much recently that the quality is just as good, said Greco.
The company will also soon introduce an online signing function, so students can digitally sign each other's yearbooks books.
0:00 / 3:13 A yearbook that looks like Facebook
One inner-city elementary school with a large population of lower income students, Alvarado School in San Francisco, wasn't able to afford offering yearbooks at all until it heard about electronic options that don't incur costs on the school.
"Financially, it would have just been ridiculous to try to do it -- the school can't even afford paper and pencils, so to outlay money for a nice-to-have item like a yearbook wasn't even something that was considered," said Tim Smith, a parent and teacher at the school.
8 kid entrepreneurs to watch
This year, nearly half of the school's 484 students bought yearbooks, averaging only about $13 each. The others were still able to create yearbooks, view them online and share them with friends.
Breaking with tradition
Budget crunches aren't the only reason for the shift. Huntington University's Coffey said while the school's budget crunch was the main culprit, students are simply more interested in reliving school memories with photos and comments online.
Electronic yearbooks give students the ability to customize pages, and share them using social networking sites.
"The personalization makes it into something about the student, not just the school," said Greco. "We're seeing a death of the traditional yearbook and an age of the personalized yearbook."
Coffey wonders whether social media and Facebook will eventually replace yearbooks altogether.
"Our view is that interest in yearbooks has waned to some degree," he said. "It's not that no students are interested, but with the advent of Facebook and other social networking opportunities, these are often more readily available and interesting venues than the old yearbook world."
Snap photos of your favorite yearbook messages and share them on CNN iReport
But the disappearance of such a long-standing tradition is always hard for some people to accept.
"The tradition is the biggest factor -- it's always hard for students to think of life without it," said Coffey.

Thimphu Thrompon, Kinlay Dorjee said that street vendors selling vegetables or any food items on the street without a legal business license will be deemed illegal.
"If one passes by the street in Norzin lam, one may notice people selling vegetables by opening their businesses right on the doorstep of legitimate shops. These are the farmers from Centenary Farmer's Market (CFM) who have come to sell their vegetables thinking that if they sell their produce in town people would prefer to buy from them instead of going to CFM," said the Thrompon.
He added that the street vending is not new in Thimphu and that people were selling vegetables and other food items on street despite numerous attempts by the Thromde to stop it.
"Thromde inspector recently informed street vendors that they are not allowed to sell vegetables on street but they would not even listen. So we have decided that if we see any illegal vendors selling vegetables on the street, we will take away their vegetables and give it to those in need." A shopkeeper opined that selling vegetables in front of their shops on the streets raises the issue of sanitation and hygiene, and moreover makes the town look dirty.
Although street vendors feel they are making an income for themselves, they fail to realize that they are causing inconvenience to the public, added the Thrompon.


The federal government streamlined the home loan modification process through its Making Home Affordable initiative. The Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, is one of several types of assistance the initiative offers to struggling homeowners. In a modification, your lender agrees to make your loan affordable by changing one or more terms of the loan, such as the interest rate and repayment period. The HAMP request process takes several months to finalize because it involves extensive paperwork.
HAMP is scheduled to end on Dec. 31, 2015. The servicer or originator of your home loan must be a participating lender in HAMP, which is voluntary. Your loan amount can't exceed $729,750 for a single-family home, but the limits are higher for two-, three- and four-unit properties. Your loan must have originated before Jan. 1, 2009. You must be in default if the property is not your primary residence and you must prove a financial hardship.
You must have a steady and verifiable income to qualify for HAMP. The lender compares your monthly income to housing and non-housing-related monthly expenses. If you qualify, the lender brings your payment down to about 31 percent of your gross income. Your home must undergo an appraisal evaluation and you must submit certain disclosures, statement of expenses, proof of income and supporting documents to finalize the process. Due to the analysis required and the high volume of distressed homeowners applying for HAMP, lenders take at least 30 days to review you for HAMP.
Exact turn times vary by lender, however, HAMP requires that lenders evaluate applications within 30 days. They also must confirm receipt of your application within 10 days. If you don't hear back regarding either one of these matters, within these time frames, you should contact your lender. After submission and verification of receipt for your documents, HAMP underwriters review the file, which can takes 30 days to several months. Communication between the underwriter and your point of contact at the mortgage company takes several days in itself.
You must complete a three-month trial period before your lender grants a permanent modification through HAMP. The trial period shows your lender whether you're capable of making the modified payments and gives you and the lender time to submit and finalize paperwork. You must make three payments and be current on the modified loan by the end of the trial period to receive a permanent modification.
You should contact your lender regularly -- about once per week -- to ask if the underwriter has added any notes to your file. If the lender is missing information, your point of contact should be able to inform you. If your file is complete and awaiting review, the representative gives you approximate turn times and asks you to call back then. However, you should follow up more frequently if possible, because the turn times cited are only estimates. The sooner you find out about missing paperwork or other hurdles to your application, the sooner you can address them and move the process along.

Auckland Marches Against "Terror Suppression" Raid

Auckland Marches Against "Terror Suppression" Raids
By Joseph Barratt
Click for big version
INDYMEDIA.ORG.NZ IMAGE
Growing momentum against recent police so-called "anti-terror" raids and opposition to the Terrorism Suppression Bill saw around 1000 protesters march to Mt Eden Prison this afternoon.
With African drums beating and people chanting, the protest marched to the prison to show their anger at police threats to charge the 17 activists arrested in recent police raids around the country with Terrorism Suppression Act offences.
Protests were planned around the world for today. Global Peace And Justice Auckland spokesperson John Minto said today the whole world was paying attention to New Zealand with protests on just about every continent.
Minto told the crowd many New Zealanders that live overseas see what effect increasing anti-terror laws are having where they are are now shocked to hear the same thing happening in New Zealand.

Green Party MP Keith Locke told the crowd Terrorism Suppression Act 2003, which is presently being amended in Parliament, is not about combating Islamic terrorists.
"It was about controlling the sort of people that are here today. People that have a social conscience and care about the world."
He then called on people to write to their Members of Parliament asking them to vote against new amendments to the Terrorism Suppression Act before it passes its third reading and becomes law.
"The government is an all too willing recruit to George W. Bush's war on terror," he said.
Barry Wilson from the Auckland Council of Civil Liberties agreed saying, "people who care about making a better world are under attack."
"It was activists that helped keep New Zealand out of the Iraq war," he said.
Among other changes under the proposed new legislation the New Zealand Prime Minister will have the power to designate terrorist groups without any court review.
The new legislation also removes the provision allowing people to support groups designated as terrorist groups if their goals are human rights and democracy.
Opponents say that if this legislation had been in place in 1981 then potentially it would have made it illegal to support the release of Nelson Mandela from prison and to support the African National Congress in South Africa in its struggle to end apartheid.

Moustachology
NoShaveMovember: Moustache Academy give lessons in Costa Rica
BAM International, a general contracting company engaged in the construction of the APM Terminals Moín project, organized the first moustache competition conform to our Accademia del Baffo standards
On Thursday the 15th in Moín, a town in the Limon province in Costa Rica, BAM International held the first ever moustache competition called the Mo-in Initiative sponsored by our Accademia del Baffo di Ponte Milvio (Roma). Thanks to the support of our esteemed, moustached companion Paolo Gatta, one of the founders of the Accademia, it was possible to gather a group of 25 participants from all over the world (Ecuadorians, Spaniards, Dutch, Costa Rican, Irish, Italian and Turkish). With their support and others they managed to collect a sum of more than 1500 (USD), donated by the company and the participants, that will be donated to a local charity. The plan is to donate it to a local school in Villas Del Mar, a disadvantaged area of Moín. Charitable work, especially noticeable since he managed to also incorporate the goal of the Movember cause which raises awareness among the workers of BAM on diseases afflicting the male population. This increases the awareness of male-only diseases such as testicular/prostate cancer.
More than 50 spectators watched the competition of moustached men, while 8 female judges gave ratings from 0 to 5 to the participants based on three different criteria; shape, general appearance and length. During the event the competitors paraded in front of the female jury, giving them a taste of their moustaches and in doing so try to gain a number of favourable votes. Comparable to seduction rituals observed in the animal kingdom. In this virtual environment, among cheers and smiles, Randy Ugarte from Costa Rica managed to win the prize of King of the moustaches with a score of 79 points. His nice handlebar moustache, put a sum of 350 (USD) in price money in his pocket as winner of the competition. The second place wasgiven to our close friend Paolo Gatta who scored a total of 65 points thanks to a vigorous Magnum P.I. like moustache. Standing on the podium, waving our illustrious Accademia flag earned him a sum of 100 (USD) in price moneywhich he graciously donated to charity. The third place was won by the Dutchman Karel van Dongen. With a score of 53 points he earned 50 (USD) with a well-kept moustache ala Dartagnan which he also donated to charity.

NoShaveMovember
Raise awareness about men's health and help raise money for charity… Do you really have something better to do this month???
The NoShaveMovember initiative promoted by Bam international wants to promote a fundraiser in support of local communities of Moin in Costa Rica and at the same time sensitize people about male's potentially fatal diseases such as testicular and prostate cancer and to promote medical research and prevention. November is behind us but maybe some of you have joined Movember, the month dedicated to men's healt and typical male's diseases, probably growing his mustaches for this noble cause and maybe just for fun taking care of this hairy appendage Mother nature has given to man. So this initiative is therefore a good opportunity to put blades and razors in the drawer and to postpone the appointment with the barber joining our contest.
Contest Rules: Grow a mustache for 30 days and send us a photo. Donate $ 6 as a contribution. Awaits the verdict of the MoSisters judges (7 female of our company will score 0 to 5 for care / length and overall whisker appearance in the contest) that will crown the best moustache.
Do you think this is stupid and does not make sense?
Did you know that the mustache tradition is deeply rooted in Costa Rican culture? Before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors, who undoubtedly contributed to importing their idea of mustaches in this lands, the native peoples gave this "hairy appendage" divine attributes. In the Talamanqueña mythology proper of Bribris and Cabécares, the universe is biconical. In the upper part there are sky, stars and the celestial being, whereas in the subterranean part there is a sort of hell pupulated with devils (a cosmic vision curiously very similar to that resulting from Dante's Catholic mystique). In the center, at the common level of these two cones, there is a kind of earthen plaque surrounded by the sea, where man lives. The Nopatkuo, the traditional conical house still inhabited by some native groups in the Costa Rican jungle, reflects this biconical universe with the upper roof of woven reeds symbolize moustached snakes.
The native tradition tells that when some of these rods start detaching a little from the other leaving a glimpse of the stars on the ceiling of the hut, the new lights of the "roof" are the whiskers of these primordial snakes. An ancient story narrates that when the god Sibù started making the sky his house needed a lace to string well canes on the roof. At the time in East direction lived a large snake with a huge mustache. Sibu then sent five men with sticks made from its umbilical cord to go there and tear it off. These men asked the sun how the serpent slept anf he said that when the reptile kept eyes open in truth he slept. As they approached the huge snake saw that her eyes were open and they tear off a huge furry from his lip whiskers with which Sibu closed his house's roof. So for the native now every star in the sky is like a knotted furry of this mythical snake.
Another myth of talamanqueña mythology connected to the whiskers said that los niños huracanes (the sons hurricanes from thunder sacred family created by Sibù) pull sun mustache (his light rays) every morning with the intention of waking him up.
Even the Boruca, another natives tribe of Costa Rica, in their mythology give a prominent place to mustaches putting them as a characteristic trait of the face of some devils, entities that in their myths inhabited the earth before man. Is it possible to see this hairy superterrestrial attribute in some traditional masks of Boruca (finely cut in low relief in balsa wood) used in the "juego de los diablitos de Boruca" (Devils's game of the Boruca), native feast which is celebrated every year in some areas of the district of Buenos Aires de Puntarenas from 30 December to 2 January. This anniversary commemorating the arrival of the Spanish in Costa Rica (represented in the festival by a bull mask) and that enhances the Boruca national identity and the reticence of the natives to the Spanish yoke, both at territorial and religious level.
Moustaches are also the basis for the Costa Rican national identity, and are rooted in the historical origin of the state as demonstrated by the unforgettable moustached profiles of José Manuel Quirós Blanco, Luis Pacheco Bertora, Máximo Blanco y Nicolás Aguilar Murillo the most representative heroes of the so called "Campaña Nacional of 1856-1857" in which the republican army of the president Juan Rafael Mora Porras, faced against pirate army of American William Walker after the occupation of the neighboring Nicaragua.
Various chiefs of state from the first independent governments until the establishment of the Republic have hoisted their respectable mustaches think of Diego Vigil, Bruno Carranza Ramírez, Tomás Guardia Gutiérrez, Próspero Fernández Oreamuno, Bernardo Soto Alfaro, Carlos Duran Cartin, Rafael Yglesias Castro, Ascensión Esquivel Ibarra (probably the most extravagant mustache), Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno, Alfredo González Flores, Francisco Aguilar Barquero, Julio Acosta García and Teodoro Picado Michalski.
The whiskers have also helped to influence the cultural scene of the country think on the lushy moustache of the poet Aquileo Echeverría.
On the faces of several actors, musicians and television stars between the '70s and '80s, even today this irresistible lip toupée continues seducing his unshakeable fellows think on the huge moustache of the singer Gilberto Santa Rosa or the more austere ones of the famous journalist Luis López Rueda.
The Caribbean Manatee (Manatí or marine cow – Trichechus manatus) that from 15 July 2014 was declared a national symbol of Costa Rican aquatic fauna in terms of moustache is a very well stocked exponent like the Walrus his direct relative. Among costa rican moustached animals another important representantive in mammals category is certainly the Murciélago bigotudo de Parnell (the mustachioed bat of Parnell – Parnell's mustached bat) that precisely in its own taxonomy emphasizes the importance of its mustachioed luggage.
In the common use language of Costa Rica there are several popular sayings that remind the importance of the whiskers in the culture of the country as: "Al buey por el cacho y al hombre por el bigote". "When a person engages in words he must live up to its promise".
The whiskers are present in some folk dances of Costa Rica and particularly in those of "punto guanacasteco" from the province of Guanacaste.
With traditional clothes and following the guitar chords and amarimbas men and women throw themselves into wild dancing. The male throws shouts stopping the music with the word "bomb" and normally uses the catchphrases to ingratiate himself with the dance partner: "Dicen que no me quieres / porque no tengo bigote / mañana me lo pondre / con plumas de zopilote." ( "They say you do not love me because I do not have a mustache, tomorrow I'll put a pair made of hawk feathers"). In this brief overview, which has absolutely no claim to completeness, we have drawn a picture of the importance of the mustache in the national culture of Costa Rica to better understand how this initiative as well as aim to raise money and have fun for a month participating in this extravagant mustache competition, has deeper meanings rooted in the traditions of the country.

Merefa won a victory over the Pentagon!
Efforts of initiative group of Shelkostantsiya residential district of Merefa city were crowned with success. At once the confirmations came from several levels of the government that the construction of biological laboratory of the Ministry of Defence of the USA won't be made in this place.
The Internet portal «The world and we», «Military review» and other mass media already devoted some publications to problems of distribution of the biological weapon, two of them concerned the construction plans of the American biological laboratory of the 3rd level of biological protection under Merefa. It was planned to place there within the agreement about «Reduction of biological threat in Ukraine», signed in 2005 between Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defence of the USA. This project was opposed unanimously by all inhabitants of the residential district of Shelkostantsiya, Merefa, Kharkov and area.
The initiative group was created for counteraction to implementation of the project the participants of which began vigorous activity— sent inquiries to various authorities, arranged pickets, printed the leaflets.
Danger of construction of this object was obvious to all inhabitants — the biological laboratory had to settle down in only 50 meters from houses. That the Ministry of Defence of the USA will be engaged in construction of this object caused fair suspicions that locals can appear experimental «rabbits» in experiments which will be made by the American military. Therefore in the activity they resolved to go to the bitter end — to achieve a ban of construction of the American military facility in close proximity to the houses.
This fight reached the peak in November. Answers to the address of local activists in the Main Sanitary and Epidemiologic Service of Ukraine, Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine and other instances were received. In the answer the first deputy head of the Main Sanitary and Epidemiologic Service O. P. Kravchuk noted:
«Period of validity of the "Reduction of Biological Threat in Ukraine" project which was executed within the Agreement between the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defence of the USA, signed in 2005 ended on May 31, 2013. According to conclusions of the interdepartmental commission created for execution of an order of the prime minister of Ukraine N. Ya. Azarov the decision on revision of conditions of the Agreement by changes in its provisions is made.
Negotiation process with foreign partners is begun, the consultations with the American side on modification of the Agreement are held on the basis of the Public Sanitary and Epidemiologic Service of Ukraine. Further activities for the project, including in the sphere of construction of laboratories, are possible after modification of the Agreement and project prolongation. Thus, any actions within the agreement, including construction, Public Sanitary and Epidemiologic Service of Ukraine doesn't carry out for today».
Even more detailed answer came from the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine from the minister Raisa Bogatyreva in which, in particular, it is specified:
«Construction of the Central reference-laboratory for consolidation of especially dangerous pathogens of an animal origin was planned on object which is in the sphere of management of National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine. The Agency on reduction of military threat of the Ministry of Defence of the USA acted as the initiator of construction of laboratory and consolidation of pathogens in it …
Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine, State Veterinary Phytosanitary Service of Ukraine and National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine were beneficiaries of this project. The foreign party didn't fulfil obligations within implementation of the specified project. Period of validity of the Project came to the end on May 31, 2013, and since June 1, 2013 all works on the project in the territory of Ukraine are suspended. For today the projects within implementation of the Agreement aren't registered in the Ministry of Economic Development of Ukraine …
For the purpose of ensuring biological safety of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine … the State target program of biological safety and biological protection for 2015 — 2020 is developed and approved by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ukraine of April 1, 2013 No. 630. Execution of this Program will give the chance to provide functioning of complex national system of biological safety and biological protection and as to avoid dependence on the foreign states and their defensive projects».
Nevertheless, the director of Institute of experimental and clinical veterinary medicine Boris Stegniya made the statements that the biological laboratory, despite of everything, will be constructed.
Besides, according to the answer from the Public Sanitary and Epidemiologic Service of Ukraine, the question of its construction in the future in connection with possibility of prolongation of the Agreement still remained open.
All this compelled the inhabitants of Shelkostantsiya to leave on meeting for a final ban of construction of dangerous object. During the meeting the activists blocked the route «Simferopol — Moscow» for short time to draw attention of the authorities to the problem.
Besides, the activists visited the mayor of Merefa Veniamin Sitov, transferred him the lists with signatures of thousands of the people opposing the construction of laboratory and as provided exhaustive information on all dangers with the construction of which this object threatens. After that the mayor made the appeals to the relevant instances followed explanations about alleged construction.
The inflaming conflict round construction drew considerable media exposure — in many editions there were articles about estimated American object in Merefa.
The initiative group sent the letter to the ambassador of the United States in Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt in which it is spoken, in particular: «This planned bacteriological laboratory of the USA located for thousands kilometres from your state, will be "Trojan Horse" for the population of Ukraine. We don't want that the destiny of Iraq and Syria repeated on our earth. We won't allow building of virus and bacteriological base of the Pentagon of especially dangerous pathogens».
All this complex of actions finally led to that the regional management paid attention to the events. Conclusions and information which was provided by activists and the relevant services led to making decision on a final ban of construction of the American biological laboratory in Merefa.
The governor of the Kharkov area Mikhail Dobkin declared about it: «We analyzed all aspects about which the scientists spoke to us. So in details to understand a question we were induced by protest mood of locals. I wanted to understand: this situation is wound by politicians or something kept back from me. Having analysed the letters of the Ministry of an agrarian policy in details, having studied a position of health officers, I will tell so: we won't build bacteriological laboratory in Merefa».
After that also the director of Institute of experimental and clinical veterinary medicine who was one of the main lobbyists of the project, was compelled to confirm that won't build biological laboratory in Shelkostantsiya.
The activists of Shelkostantsiya celebrated the victory on December 1 by the meeting on a main square of Merefa. Thanks to activity and initiative of inhabitants they managed to defend native places, and, probably, to prevent the disasters the scales of which it is difficult to present.
Nevertheless, the activists don't lose vigilance. According to unchecked information though biological laboratory construction in Shelkostantsiya failed, the interested structures didn't refuse the plan of placement of this object in the Kharkov area. There are data that, probably, it will place in Timchenki remote village of the Zmiyevsky area where, allegedly, the soil tests for determination of purity of the territory were already carried out. Therefore activists don't hurry «to lay down arms» and watch closely a situation. The Pentagon won't pass in Kharkov.

Today God pursues to plead, not to punish. In Him you find wrath averted, offenses forgiven, sins forgotten, shelter provided, and Love personified. "God is Love" may sound trite, but it is true. He doesn't admire all you do, but He does love you. This fact carries power of prodigious proportions, as we shall see (1 John 4:8).
God stands willing and able to fashion you into the likeness of the Man Christ Jesus Who loves you. This is an offer with no strings attached. This is an offer with no prior commitments exacted. This is an offer with no cancellations mortgaging the future. This is an offer with no penalties for failures incurred while trying. Growth in grace is a slow process, and often a painful one. Creative conflict is part and parcel of this conformation to Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:28, 29).
Thus the future is secure. Oh, to be sure, it will be different. You can count on that, for this future will be a partnership with your Lord. You need never again feel estranged. You need never again feel alienated. You need never again walk alone in this world. God, Who is the un-lying God, the un-false One, guarantees it. He is never false, even though you should prove faithless. He never lets you down, even though you renounce him (2 Timothy 2:13; Titus 1:2).
God promises to finish what He began in you, for He has the wisdom to plan and He has the power to perform. God's limitless resources are devoted to saving and using your personality with its dispositions, not splitting it.
The only way Christ could publicly portray God's love for you was to be delivered for your offenses and raised for your justification. Now these may be merely words to you, yet they are much more than just semantics and symbols. They are truth with a dynamic. To those enslaved to all from which they long to be emancipated, God's declaration delivers. This is God's emancipation proclamation to all who are slaves of self and sin and society (Romans 4:25).
God speaks to the world in the language of facts. What has He done that makes His declaration good news to you? God's love is good news, God's grace is good news, and His grace and love are His power for salvation to all those who go on believing. The evangel is God's power for salvation (Romans 1:16, 17).
You see, you are two Adams: one actual and the other potential. In the first Adam you are a slave to sin: this is actual and a fact that is true altogether apart from your disbelieving. In the last Adam you are free to become righteous: this is potential and a fact that becomes true when you believe (Romans 5:12-21).
In the first Adam you are constituted a sinner and stand condemned: this is actual and is true altogether apart from your disbelieving. In the last Adam you are uncondemned: this is potential and becomes true when you believe (1 Corinthians 15:45).
In the first Adam you are dead; in the last Adam you are alive. In the first Adam you are decreated; in the last Adam you are recreated. In the first Adam you are a sinner; in the last Adam you are a saint. In the first Adam you are estranged; in the last Adam you are reconciled. In the first Adam you are an enemy; in the last Adam you are a friend. In the first Adam you are weak; in the last Adam you are strong. In the first Adam you are far off; in the last Adam you are made near (Ephesians 1:7; 4:17-19).
Does all this sound like double-talk to you? Does it sound like a paradox? Does this offend you, does this scandalize you, does this provoke you, does this seem to insult your intelligence and make wisdom stupidity? Does this seem to present power as weakness? Does this demolish your world of values and rearrange your list of priorities? If it does, this is understandable, but the fact remains that God has done something for you that can mean your freedom from sin, that can mean your load of sin is banished, that can set forces in motion which are capable of making you over entirely -- emotionally, mentally, psychologically, and spiritually. This cure is so radical that there is no New Testament Greek word which now can be properly translated "guilt." Guilt is gone by the grace of God.
Paul does not say that you cannot understand the things of God. But Paul does say that man does not approve of what he hears since it is foolishness and a stumbling block to him (1 Corinthians 1:18-25). Man loves darkness rather than light. Man rejects truth rather than lies. Man does not want to be wrong so he protects himself by refusing what is false. But there is another way to be wrong -- by rejecting what is true (John 3:17-21).
Man does not want to see and hear and know because he can be held accountable for acting in accord with what he sees and hears and knows. In this manner man attempts to make a bulwark of his ignorance and a virtue out of his refusal to know. Yet candor compels him to confess that he can be held responsible for refusing to see, for refusing to hear, for refusing to respond to God's overtures of peace (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
All we are asked to do, is to herald God's good news -- to announce it as the Fact that it is. To this Fact you have an account-ability and a response-ability. No appeal to hereditary defects avails, no pleas that you are crippled by being deprived of a cultural milieu in which you would otherwise be good avails. No, it is man who is at fault, not heredity and environment, though these do play their parts. But they are not man's scapegoats, and this to man is a tragedy. Isn't it a fact on which to ponder that the word "tragedy" is to be traced to the Greek tragos, which means goat? Man feels that he is made to be the goat in a tragedy not of his own making -- everything else and everyone else is at fault, but not the man whose image is reflected in his mirror.
But bad news about you is not good news about God. Let us look at God's message: Christ died for all, consequently all died. And He died for all and was raised for the very same all so that He could use this Fact, as a lever to move you into wanting to live for the sake of the One Who could love you this much (2 Corinthians 5:14).
God's love is the lever which motivates you to change the aim of your life from serving yourself to serving your Savior. His love is the lever which will change your center from ec-centric to Christo-centric, from out-of-center to right-on-center. His love is a lever to completely change your pattern of behavior because the former authoritarian pressure from the outside is being displaced by the new expulsive power from the inside. His love is a lever to change the quality of your disposition from soulish to spiritual, from law to love, from flesh to spirit, from I-got-to to I-want-to.
If you have now believed God, do you feel different? If your answer is "No", the fact still remains that He has accepted you. If you have now believed God, do you feel afraid to face the future lest you fail again? If your answer is "Yes", the fact still remains that He empowers you. It is not your No and Yes that counts; but rather it is God's Yes, for all His promises have received their Divine Yes in Christ. His great and precious promises are for the purpose of making you a partaker of His Divine nature (2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Peter 1:4).
You begin by believing God. You continue your faith by believing God, and you will get new life for yourself out of your faith in His faithfulness. Faithful is He Who is calling you, Who will be doing it also (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
He accepts you as you are -- weak, irreverent, a rebel, a sinner, and an enemy (Romans 5:6-10).
Accept Him for what He is -- your re-Creator, your Peace, your Forgiver, you Deliverer, your Enabler, your Wisdom, your Righteousness, your All.
God is all these actually. He stands ready to be all these to you potentially. Unbelief alone keeps you from experiencing all these blessings. Believing Him makes them to be yours actually.
God will take you at your word when you take Him at His word. Accept the fact that you are acceptable to God and will be accepted by God.
God loves you. What more can He say to you than what He has already said?

Lil Boosie, the incarcerated Louisiana rapper, is featured on a new track released that was released in the past week.
UPDATE: Lil Boosie has been released from prison on Wednesday night, reports say. He will appear at a press conference hosted by Atlantic Records on Monday.
He appears on a track from Big Wayne, who was one of his producers.
The track will show up on DJ Smallz' CIAA 2014 (Southern Smoke Special) mixtape that comes out in a few days.
The track was shared via Boosie's official Twitter account a few days ago.
It comes after a family member of Boosie wrote a letter that was critical of his brother, who allegedly stole money from him.
Cousin Porche Breaux claims Boosie's brother, Taquari "TQ" Hatch–who is also is "manager"–was "booking shows in Boosie's name and collecting cash when he knows good and well his brother is incarcerated. Then the promoters and fans get upset thinking that Boosie is a no-show! Isn't he hurting the Boosie brand more than anything?" The letter was published by Examiner.com.
"His crooked [expletive] didn't even really have a relationship with his brother! He thought his brother was ignorant and he could out smart him. His dirty [expletive] spent 50k to take his frat brothers on a trip, actually they've been on plenty trips….He has been to numerous Saints games, he has 7 nieces and nephews how many trips with them?" Breaux wrote.
Breaux then alleged that Hatch didn't give any of the money to his family.
"What about trips with Connie…. why didn't he take them out of town? Those girls are struggling!! If he cared anything about his family for real he would have been giving the kid's mom a child support check at the beginning of the month instead avoiding their kids," it reads.
"While everybody's so worried about District Attorney Hillar Moore ruining Boosie's life, he needs to be arresting his thieving [brother]," the letter concludes.
According to LA Weekly reporter Jeff Weiss–who did interviews with Boosie in prison–the Louisiana-based rapper is going to be released in March.
"Just received confirmation that Boosie will not be getting out of jail next week. However, his release is imminent — most likely in March," he wrote on Twitter.


Are you looking for a speaker for your conference or next church event?
I'm so grateful you've stopped by. Why? Because I'm totally convinced of the is power and beauty of speaking. One of my favourite stories in the Bible is a conversation between Jesus and Samaritan woman. A woman who is down and out, rejected by her community is transformed and goes on to impact her community. All because of a conversation with Jesus. I believe God still transforms people and communities through the Holy Spirit. My desire is to see his redemptive presence saturate your event.
I preached my first sermon as a pimply-faced 16 year old in my local church. Since that time I have been speaking and preaching regularly at local churches and events in Australia, Africa and the Pacific. In 2013 I planted Cornerstone Church adopting a simple church model in order to focus on developing with sought to help people become missional disciples of Jesus. I love that God has revealed himself in Scripture and it's such an honour to see people's wonderment as they gaze on him. That's why I love speaking and teaching about the Bible.
* Discover the depth of God's missional heartbeat for people as it runs throughout the whole Bible.
* Understand the Holy Spirit is working in the lives of people around them and inviting them to join his mission in their everyday lives.
* Find everyday rhythms to allow people to think missionally as they go through their normal life.
* Imagine what church could look if the only thing on canvas was loving God, loving others, and making disciples.
* See the enormous potential the simple church model has for bringing God's presence into the community in unique ways in a post-Christendom culture.
* Learn ways the simple church movement can help and work alongside the larger church.
* Understand discipleship as a process of growing closer to Jesus rather than a matter of completing programs or practices.
* Develop rhythms and practices to help facilitate on-going Christian growth.
* Integrate a missional identity as a vital aspect of the discipleship process and a way to help disciple others.
* Share my multi year struggle as a follower of Jesus with depression including times of feeling lost, disoriented and abandoned by God and the grace and hope that's helped me endure.
* Help people better understand the issues around depression from a Christian perspective.
* Help people avoid pastoral traps in how they care for those suffering depression.

A Boy's Room - Oak House Design Co.
Boys rooms can be a difficult thing to decorate. If you look online you're often limited to plaid patchwork quilts or the latest superhero theme. Nothing wrong with those, but I just don't want to have to redo the room when he outgrows whoever or whatever he's into at the moment. I have been brainstorming ideas forever and came up with this mood board a few months ago, but have had cold feet when it came to pulling the trigger.
This past week, I finally got fed up with my own indecision and the state of his room and decided to make a move. Whatever I did, I felt would be a step up from what he had going on, which was last done when he was a baby.
I am a decidedly neutral-loving girl, but my boy is full of energy and requested bright color. Bright wall colors make my heart hurt (ha-ha!), so we are working toward a compromise. Originally I was thinking of going with a light gray on the wall, but as you can see I have gray-blue on the walls. It reminds me of the sky and atmosphere. The room isn't complete and we may change the wall color to something bolder, but we've got a start on the space.
I have a loose 'night sky/night-time' theme for the room. The Bub is a night owl, and has fought sleep since they day he was born. He gave up naps at age two and never willingly goes to bed. We also used to stargaze at night in the summer and count the stars as they came out. So when I saw the star chart poster, I thought it would be cool since it identifies the constellations in the night sky. I also have to finalize the artwork for the gallery wall frames over the dresser. I am planning to have the Bub recreate some artwork they did in Kindergarten of the phases of the moon for the lower frame with the three sections. And then I have a poster that reads, "Shoot for the moon, even if you fail, you'll land among the stars." That will go in the frame above the owl. I'm excited to get those up in the frames.
This unit from Ikea is essential for corralling all of the toys that kids seem to have. The sections and bins are lifesavers. I still want to add a pinboard over the cube storage to post up some of his artwork from school and other things of interest to him.
Although I don't see a bright neon color on the walls, I can envision bringing bold color in by perhaps painting the bed in a bold reddish-orange or grass green. He also has a play table that could be repainted in a matching color. We often think that to add color it has to be on the walls, but bold color can be just as a effective used in textiles and furniture. I am also debating bringing in the chalkboard and book ledges from the playroom, since it has become somewhat defunct. Pretty much all of the toys and art supplies have been moved to his room. I am also looking into some new bedding to coordinate with the space. But I like the direction we are moving in.
