CHVFD Celebrates Its 90th Anniversary
On September 25, 2004 the Capitol Heights Volunteer Fire Department celebrated its 90th Anniversary of incorporation. In addition our Ladies Auxiliary also celebrated their 84th Anniversary as the "First Organized Ladies Auxiliary in the United States."
The anniversary banquet was held at the Chesapeake Beach American Legion. Dedicating the ceremony to our charter members, the company, new members and old came out to honor the 90 years of tradition and service of the Capitol Heights Volunteer Fire Department.
In keeping with this theme, guests took chances for a replica leather fire bucket, looked at photo centerpieces documenting the company's history, a company history, and met with other members they may not have already known. Members we given a commemorative pin that was modeled after the badge the first Captain wore when the department was organized. Originally, the Captain was the highest ranking member. This position is now the Fire Chief.
Ron J. Siarnicki, Past Chief of the Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department, current Executive Director of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, emceed the program. Ron served as a career officer at Company 5 for a few years and has a special place in the department's history. He also presented the department with copy of the book Firefighter, which includes the history of our Ladies Auxiliary.
Mayor Joyce Nixon also welcomed members and guests and praised them for the work that they do for our community. She presented a resolution from County Executive Jack B. Johnson in recognition of our 90th anniversary.
The purpose of the banquet, historically, was to install the new officers for the year. Officers were introduced and awards for the year were given.
The Ladies Auxiliary recognized its "Lady of the Year," Ms. Peggy Eckhardt. Peggy was commended for her energy and enthusiasm. All of the ladies joined President, Mary Russell and were given roses and fire department charms. Keith Fullington was also presented with a gift for his work in helping the Auxiliary. The ladies presented Mary with a blanket as a token of appreciation for her leadership of the group. President Russell also presented awards to the Department Chief and President.
During the ceremony the following life membership and service awards were given out:
Edward Hazel – 60 years of service
Al Adams – 20 year Life Membership Badge
Charles Baldi – 20 year Life Membership Badge
Jim Crawford – 20 year Life Membership Badge
Mike Souders – 20 year Life Membership Badge
Kim Lee – 20 year Life Membership Badge
Margie Byrd – 10 year Life Membership Card
John Weaver – 10 year Life Membership Card
World War II impacted our department tremendously, 27 members were called into service, leaving the junior members and ladies auxiliary to take up the duties of the department. Those members, who went to war, including the three that were killed in action, were honored with a plaque that will be placed in the station after its renovation. There are three members of the department that remain with us today. Two of those surviving members, Ernie Moreland and Grafton Boswell, were at the banquet and were given a framed picture of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

In more recent history, Dwayne Frost served his country in Afghanistan and Iraq. He returned home in April 2004. Dwayne was presented with a flag that was flown over the United States Capitol, which he guarded after 9/11. The flag was presented to the company at the Prince George's County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association Convention in September 2004. Dwayne accepted the flag and commemorative convention book. He also had a few awards of his own. He presented the department with a certificate for its support during his service to his country. He also presented a medal to Catherine McClelland for organizing cards and letters from school children. Dwayne noted that the notes and cards from the children were an inspiration and a comfort to their troops, who never knew what dangers they faced going out on the road. Dwayne also brought a special guest with him from the order of the Purple Heart who thanked the department for its support and talked of the struggles of the troops coming back from overseas.
Two community service awards were given out at the celebration. The members of the company that participated in the fire prevention and "Christmas In April" activities were commended for their service to the community. Two plaques listed the names of each participant and will be hung in the station after the renovation. Those members who participated were given shirts with the company seal and the name of the project that they worked on. Mayor Joyce Nixon was also honored for her service to the community through our door-to-door fire prevention campaign. The following members were part of those efforts:

Correa wins expected reelection in Ecuador
February 17, 2013 Kevin Lees	1 Comment
It's probably one of the least unexpected victories of world politics this year, but Rafael Correa has won reelection as Ecuador's president, extending Correa's term in office through 2017.
According to exit polls, Correa ultimately won 61.5% of the vote, thereby avoiding an April 7 runoff, just as he did in his quest to win a second term — Correa was the first Ecuadorian presidential candidate to avoid a runoff in 2009 in the 30 years of modern Ecuadorian elections since the end of military rule in 1979.
Correa has already declared victory.
In fact, it's the highest first-round total of any election since 1979 in Ecuador, and Correa's reelection means he will have served a longer consecutive term than any Ecuadorian leader since Ignacio de Veintemilla, president from 1876 to 1883 and, in five months, Correa will become Ecuador's longest-serving consecutive leader since independence from Spain. José María Velasco Ibarra ultimately served over 11 years as Ecuador's president in four stints between 1934 and 1972.
For more thoughts on what this means for Latin America, the future of the Latin American populist left and Ecuador's politics and economy, read my piece from last week outlining five key take-aways from today's election.
The runner-up, Guillermo Lasso, a banker and former president of the Banco de Guayaquil, finished a distant second with just 20.9% of the vote.
Lucio Gutiérrez, a former president from 2003 until massive protests forced his ouster in 2005, won just 6.0, and Álvaro Noboa, one of Ecuador's wealthiest businessmen and who finished first place in the first round of the 2006 election that Correa ultimately won, won just 3.5%. Alberto Acosta, Correa's former oil and mining minister and co-founder of the Alianza PAIS, won 2.9%.
In separate parliamentary elections held today, it is expected that Correa's ruling Movimiento Patria Altiva i Soberana or Alianza PAIS (Proud and Sovereign Fatherland, or 'PAIS') will win a majority in the 137-seat, unicameral Asamblea Nacional (National Assembly).

Anastasiades, Malas head to Cypriot presidential runoff next Sunday
Center-right presidential candidate Nicos Anastasiades (pictured above) overwhelmingly triumphed in Sunday's presidential election in Cyprus, outpacing his nearest rivals by nearly 20%. Nonetheless, he fell about 4.5% short of the 50% absolutely majority he would have needed to win the election outright and avoiding a runoff that will now take place next Sunday on February 24, despite early exit polls that showed he might win up to 52% of the first-round vote.
Anastasiades, the candidate of the center-right Democratic Rally (DISY, Δημοκρατικός Συναγερμός or Dimokratikós Sinayermós), will face health minister Stavros Malas, the candidate of the governing, leftist Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL, Aνορθωτικό Κόμμα Εργαζόμενου Λαού or Anorthotikó Kómma Ergazómenou Laoú), who edged out alternative leftist candidate Giorgos Lillikas:
So the question now is whether Lillikas's voters will move en masse to Malas in the runoff or, alternatively, they will split between Anastasiades and Malas, thereby giving the center-right candidate sufficient support to win the presidency next week.
Anastasiades has pledged to move forward as quickly as possible to secure a €17 billion bailout that Cyprus needs to avoid sovereign default in a country that's seen its public debt rise to 140% of GDP. Although talks have been ongoing for over a year with the far leftist administration of outgoing president Demetris Christofias, the current administration has not been willing to implement the privatization of state industries that European leaders would require, though it has implemented tax increases and budget cuts over the past year. Those austerity measures have worn down the popularity of Christofias and of his party's presidential candidate, Malas.
At first glance, an alliance between Lillikas and Malas makes sense — both are generally to the left of Anastasiades, and Lillikas has campaigned on a platform of refusing to lead Cyprus into a bailout with tough conditions, arguing instead that Cyprus should rely on recently discovered offshore natural gas deposits to boost its public finances. Lillikas, a businessman and an independent candidate, was supported by several small centrist and leftist parties, including the center-left Movement for Social Democracy (EDEK, Κινήμα Σοσιαλδημοκρατών or Kinima Sosialdimokraton).
Taken together, Lillikas and Malas polled nearly 6% more than Anastasiades in the first round, meaning that a majority of Cypriots appear to oppose the more austerity-focused bailout approach Anastasiades is very likely to pursue if elected. But in order to upset Anastasiades in the runoff, Malas would have to sweep up over 93% of Lillikas's first-round voters. That seems unlikely, especially given that supporters of many of Cyprus's political parties were split in the first round between Lillikas and Anastasiades, including the smaller Evroko (European Party) and Cyprus's Ecological and Environmental Movement, both of which ultimately deadlocked over the issue of endorsing either Lillikas or Anastasiades.
But that's especially true of Cyprus's Democratic Party (DIKO, Δημοκρατικό Κόμμα or Dimokratikó Kómma), a centrist party that most recently held the presidency under Tassos Papadopoulos from 2003 to 2008, under whom Lillikas served as foreign minister from 2006 to 2007.
Although DIKO ultimately endorsed Anastasiades in the first round, many rank-and-file DIKO voters supported Lillikas, and that means it's likely those voters will turn to Anastasiades in the runoff or, at least, abstain entirely from voting or protest-vote for neither Anastasiades nor Malas.
Once derided as 'Nasty Nic' for his reputation as a mean-streaked and hot-tempered politician, Anastasiades's victory today marks a remarkable comeback since he fell from favor nearly a decade ago after supporting the 'Annan Plan' that would have reunited the Greek and Turkish sides of the divided island of Cyprus — over 76% of Greek Cypriot voters opposed the plan in a 2004 referendum, despite Turkish Cypriot backing for the plan. The island remains split between the (largely Greek Cypriot) Republic of Cyprus and the (largely Turkish Cypriot) Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, following a 1974 Cypriot coup that led to an attempt by Greece to annex the entire island and a subsequent Turkish invasion of the north.
Although the Turkish/Greek issue has not been a significant issue during the campaign, if he's elected as president next Sunday, Anastasiades may well find himself on the wrong end of Cypriot public opinion once again, given that he's indicated he's willing to make tough sacrifices in order to secure a bailout for Cyprus. European leaders, including German chancellor Angela Merkel, have expressed support for Anastasiades, and it seems much likelier that Anastasiades could achieve a bailout deal for Cyprus.
Merkel and other European leaders would be likely to demand extremely onerous concessions though, certainly no less than the concessions imposed on Greece. In light of the Cypriot banking sector's less-than-pristine reputation on money laundering, it's expected that a bailout would benefit dodgy Russian financiers and oligarchs whose money is currently deposited in Cyprus's banks — a proposition that Merkel will likely find politically difficult with seven months to go until her own reelection campaign in Germany.

Az óbudai káptalan (más néven budai káptalan, (ó)budai prépostság) a középkori Buda környékének legjelentősebb egyházi testülete, amivel a polgárságnak gyakran voltak gazdasági nézeteltérései. A káptalannak, mint Óbuda egy része földesurának, az óbudai polgárokkal is sok összetűzése volt.

Története

Alapítása
Valószínűleg Péter király alapított Péter és Pál tiszteletére Budán (a későbbi Óbudán) egy egyházi testületet, úgynevezett káptalant, ezért a testület a középkor végéig hivatalosan is budai káptalannak nevezte magát, habár akkor már az új Buda létezett.

1148-ban a káptalan kiváltságlevelet kapott II. Gézától, ebben - többek között - a káptalannak adta Gézavására vámját, a pesti révvámot és a halászat jogát a Megyeri-révtől a Csepel-szigetig. Az adomány évszázados vámperekhez vezetett a káptalan, a polgárság, a hajósok és valószínűleg a halászok között.

A 13. században a budai prépost volt a király alkancellárja és a káptalan igen sok adományt kapott. Valószínűleg a 12. században kapott Somogy vármegyei birtokokat, 1212-ben adományt szerzett Óbudára.

Jelentőségének növekedése
Ahogy Buda királyi székhelyként megerősödött, úgy nőtt a káptalan jelentősége is. Már a 13. század elején tüzesvaspróba-hely, azaz a középkori szokás szerint a káptalan felügyelete alatt folytak a perekben bizonyítékul felhasználható tüzesvaspróbák.

Hiteleshely is volt, azaz joga volt rá, hogy bármilyen jogügyletről hiteles pecsétjével megerősített közhitelű oklevelet állítson ki, a bíróságok megkeresésére - főleg a tüzesvaspróbák megszűnte után - úgynevezett hiteles bizottságot küldött ki a vizsgálatok elvégzéséhez, birtokba iktatásokhoz, és ezekről oklevelet állított ki. Míg minden más hiteleshely csak egy megszabott körzetben működhetett, a székesfehérvári káptalannak és az óbudainak az egész országra kiterjedt a hatóköre.

1355-ben Nagy Lajos a Óbudát felosztotta káptalani és királyi részre. A káptalan prépostja nagy szerepet játszott az Óbudai Egyetem alapításában, aminek 1395-ben az első kancellárja lett. A káptalan jelentősége azután is fennmaradt, hogy a királyi székhely óbudáról Budára került. Ezt az is bizonyítja, hogy egészen a török korig a káptalan préposti javadalmát - annak gazdagsága okán - mindig magas rangú királyi főtisztviselők kapták meg, így például Karai László alkancellár, aki 1473-ban Hess Andrással kinyomtattatta Budai Krónikát, vagy az utolsó (1541 előtt) prépost, Verancsics Antal királyi titkár, aki később esztergomi érsek lett.

A káptalan tagjai
A káptalannak a préposton kívül 20-25 tagja volt, három úgynevezett méltóság: az olvasó, az éneklő és az őrkanonok és az egyszerű kanonokok. Legtöbbjük királyi hivatalokban dolgozó tisztviselő volt, aki a javadalmazását fizetésül, nyugdíjul kapták, a 16. századra közülül sok polgári származású volt.

A káptalan épületei
Az óbudai káptalan a török hódítás miatt szűnt meg, emlékét 11. századi román falmaradványok őrzik (III. Szentlélek tér 8-9).

Első temploma a 13. században elpusztult, Nagy Lajos király anyja, Erzsébet számára új templomot építtetett 1330-48 között, amit a 16. század elején reneszánsz stílusban továbbfejlesztettek. A prépostsági templom a török időkben kezdett el pusztulni, a 18. század elején lebontották.

OPINION: What it's Like Living in a Multi-Unit Dwelling During a Pandemic
By Allison Fine • August 31, 2020 • Neighborhood • Leave a Comment
One of the challenges for many people, especially those of us living in urban environments, is how to stay safe in the middle of a pandemic in a building of multiple units.
I live in a large building with approximately 130 units in the middle of Logan Square. Our lobby, barren as it is, has a bank of mailboxes. In and out of the lobby come delivery people daily: USPS, UPS, restaurant and grocery delivery, etc., as well as the 80-100 or so people who live here. One door faces one very busy street while the other door faces another even busier street. Just from this description, you can see that this building is at the corner of two very congested intersections and there is easy exposure to a rather large segment of population in our neighborhood.

Since the pandemic, the crush of humanity and the closeness of city dwelling has become engulfing. The real problem that all of us face during the pandemic, while living in close proximity to one another, is the dangerous effect of COVID-19 and how we can stay healthy. The necessity of the mask wearing is vital. As people breathe, talk, laugh, sing or cough they expel spores into the air which can linger for hours and sometimes days. In enclosed spaces it is especially dangerous. The spores can enter into one's system through any open orifice including eyes, ears, nose, mouth; even a cut or sore.
The shocking thing is that mask-wearing has now moved from the realm of an incredibly crucial and mandatory way to protect not only yourself and everyone else around you, to a political-social-cultural battleground where people are suddenly belligerent and angry about "having to wear a mask" or doing something that other people are asking them to do "against their will." The compelling and life-saving logic of medicine and science have gone out the window and has been replaced with an escalated fight between an erroneous definition of "free will" against doing the right thing to save lives. People are constructing the necessity for mask-wearing as a feeling of interruption of their personal space, as something they "owe" to others against their will, which seems to bring about bitterness and misconstruction, rather than the recognition of our mutual cooperation as a society and the need to participate in new modes of behavior, like mask-wearing, that will ultimately save lives.
We need to avoid engaging with people who refuse to wear masks as it can end up in a conflict that cannot be resolved.
My daughter, neuro-critical care attending physician
My youngest daughter is a neuro-critical care attending physician for Advocate Health here. We had a discussion recently about mask-wearing and she shared insights worth passing along. She exhorted those of us who are compliant with CDC guidelines not to be "reactionary," that we need to avoid engaging with people who refuse to wear masks as it can end up in a conflict that cannot be resolved. Her advice was to keep calm and avoid them as much as possible. In many multi-unit buildings this is hard to do, especially as we need to keep the six-foot distance as much as possible. This is practically impossible in the hallways unless you both wear a mask and a face shield and then hang back until people pass.
In addition, here's the kicker: my mask does not protect me as much as it protects you. It seems this concept is difficult for many Americans to grasp. It requires that one consider the well-being of others just as much or more than oneself. Doctors warn that confronting non- mask wearers, what some of us are now calling "maskholes," (with some gallows humor), can end very badly.
To quote my daughter: "People are very aggressive about mask opinions. We have entire articles published in medical journals advising doctors how to have these conversations. It's similar to hostage negotiations. It is tricky to do right. It takes a great deal of calm to get it right and even then, it can turn badly. People respond poorly to being told what to do and they also do not respond to shaming. They perceive the shaming is inherent in the request to wear a mask! To them, the request implies judgement. You cannot convince people who feel judged."
How Can We All Stay Safe in Our Multi-Unit Buildings?
We will have to adjust to a new normal and navigate our lives with this Virus as part of the daily equation. Eventually, herd immunity will develop, but for that to happen many, many more people will die. This is a world-changing, life-altering event from which our global society will emerge completely transformed.
I sent a series of six or seven emails to the office of our landlord hoping to get through to the office the urgency of making sure we are all staying safe. I suggested that an outbreak in a building of this size would be a catastrophe and would have serious ramifications for both residents and the landlord. Each email was met with a rather condescending tone from the office manager, telling me there was "nothing they could do," they could not mandate mask-wearing or anything else and exhorting me to try to stay safe as much as possible.
I kept trying to remind people that as the oldest resident in the building I needed them to consider my safety.
I kept trying. Email after email from March until May, when it was obvious to everyone in the world that this virus was serious, it was killing people and it was not going away soon. At that point, around late May, our landlord posted copies of the CDC guidelines next to the elevator on each floor and above the mailboxes in the lobby.
I noticed a few more people wearing masks, quite a few tenants moving out, and still a lot of people and traffic coming in and out without masks. I kept trying to remind people that as the oldest resident in the building I needed them to consider my safety. This did nothing for the residents I have spoken with and continue to speak with — they are adamant that it is their "freedom" to choose not to wear a mask.
Landlords around our city are more concerned with making sure people pay their rent than they are with whether they live to pay it. [On Aug. 20, Gov. Pritzker extended Illinois' ban on evictions for another month and will now expire Sept. 22.] Why is it incumbent upon a 71-year-old writer living alone in a big city to continually campaign for people to do a very simple thing that will save many, many lives, including, perhaps their own?
The landlords of Chicago need to take into consideration the safety, security and health of residents who pay rent in their buildings with gentle but persistent encouragement. I should not have to confront people about my safety when they refuse to wear a mask. Our landlords, our business owners and our elected officials should aid everyone in this endeavor. If we are "all in this together," then we need to see that multi-unit buildings are on the front lines of mitigation.

How to Stay Protected and Respect Your Elderly Neighbors
In the meantime, I recommend tenants in large buildings do the following and think about their elderly neighbors
1. Wear a mask at all times: every time you walk outside your apartment or door to the hallway, and of course always wear a mask covering both your nose and mouth whenever you are outside.
2. I recommend a face shield to give added protection, especially against "mask holes" in and around your dwelling. Shields are easy to find — eBay, Etsy and many other places have affordable shields. I wear mine whenever I must travel by bus or even Lyft, when I go inside a grocery store or Walgreens or any other public shopping place.

3. Write, email, call your landlord and let them know you are a concerned citizen and tenant and your safety is essential. Encourage them to send letters/emails to tenants letting them know that the owners of the building expect them to wear masks so that all can stay safe
4. Do not confront a maskhole. They will ramp up the engagement in a hostile way. Avoid them, steer clear and make sure to leave plenty of space between you and them, if possible.
5. Do not share an elevator with anyone if possible. If you must share, avoid elevators with non-mask wearers. Wait for the next elevator; it's only a few more minutes. In addition, do not walk up and down stairs near people without masks.
6. Encourage delivery people to wear their mask when delivering to you.
Ultimately, the sad news is that many more hundreds of thousands of people will die. Globally, it could reach the millions. The CDC reported over 5 million cases since the start of the pandemic, including over 180,000 deaths. Illinois is seeing a surge in cases, even though less people are dying, according to top city health officials.
We need to do our part to the best of our ability, but it begins with landlords in large urban environments to acknowledge, recognize and act on a new turn of events. This is not business as usual. Landlords need to step up and enforce protection.

Motorized blind is one of the home automation devices available in the market today. With this advance technology, you can now control your window blinds even remotely, through wifi and blue tooth. This automation equipment will allow you to control the lowering or rising of the blinds away from home.
However, investing on such equipment needs careful consideration. Installing one in your home will mean a substantial amount of money from your usual budget. With this, you have to consider some important factors, to be able to get the value of your hard earn money. You have to consider the number of windows involve, the kind of motor to acquire and the see if it is within your budget.
Below are some factors to consider before you engage a company for the installation.
The Motor. Since the entire operation depends on the motor, you should make sure that durability is considered before deciding on the brand of the motor. Durability that is within your budget. You will now make researches I the internet, read reviews and ask for any referrals for people in the industry. You can consult a number of dealers and installers on what they can offer you.
Most motorized windows are operated by motors, but , not all motors are compatible with your windows. You can ask advised from experts on your requirements, the power of the motor, the make and the functionality. Take everything in consideration.
The Apps and the control. This is very crucial as some smart phones is not compatible with some Apps. Make sure that your smart phone can be installed with the same apps that is use to control the motor. The same with the remote control. Because if your smart phone is not compatible with the Apps that is integrated with the motor, you cannot control it remotely.
Another thing to consider is the power of the motor. Is the motor powered by solar, battery or wired. It all now depends on the size of the windows and the budget. Battery is less costly compared to the other source.
After Sales Service. Obviously, this is important, because not all companies offer the same after sales service. Go for the company that is flexible enough in their after sale service. Chose the company who can offer a fast and reliable after sales service.
Why HDH Technology? The company has all the expertise you need in home automation. They have the right people to do the job for you. With more than 30 years of solid experience in the industry, you can never ask for more. Visit them at http://hdhtech.com.

For the second straight year, a landmarked bungalow in Midtown has won the Polly Earl Award, which is presented by the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach to honor historically sensitive renovation projects at small-scale properties.
Such houses are "integral to the charming character" of their neighborhoods and Palm Beach as a whole, foundation Executive Director Amanda Skier said at Wednesday's presentation.
Homeowners Jeanne and David Daniel accepted the honor, which complements the foundation's annual Robert I. Ballinger Award for renovations at large estates.
Although the update of the Daniels' 1919 bungalow-style house at 322 Seaspray Ave. may have qualified as a small-scale project, Jeanne Daniel told the Daily News that the work was far from simple. It stretched over two-and-a-half years, as crews uncovered a variety of structural problems that had to be addressed and remedied.
The renovation preserved the look of the house's street-side exteriors in accordance with the town's landmarks rules while opening up the floor plan. The Daniels hired Palm Beach architect Gene Pandula to design the project and contractor Scott Sloane of Sloane Construction Co. to carry it out.
"They helped us realize our vision of creating a more livable and contemporary living space," Jeanne Daniel said during the presentation at the foundation's building on Peruvian Avenue.
"David and I are certainly beyond pleased and frankly very honored to be the recipients of the Polly Earl Award."
The house earned landmark protection in late 2013, and the Daniels bought it the following April.
"The landmark status was compelling because we were intrigued by the parameters of having to maintain the historic architecture," Jeanne Daniel said in an interview.
David Daniels has deep family ties to Palm Beach. For their first home here, the Daniels had a strong wish to live on one of the so-called "Sea" streets — Seaspray, Seabreeze and Seaview, immediately north of Royal Palm Way — because of the neighborhood's mix of architecture, much of it historical.
Pandula said the look of the neighborhood guided him in maintaining "the scale and relationship of the structure to the Seaspray Avenue streetscape and neighboring properties."
In addition to significant changes to the interior, the renovation brought the house up to code, and replaced the foundation, roof and many structural elements and walls. The project also swapped out the home's doors and windows with new versions reflecting the architectural period. Other original elements were replicated, including the eve brackets and beams that are signatures of the bungalow style.
At the front of the house, a screen porch was enclosed to expand the living space. At the rear, a deteriorated garage-turned-cabana was razed and a new structure built. It's attached to the main residence and houses the master bedroom.
Last year, the Preservation Foundation gave the same award – named for the late Polly Earl, the group's longtime executive director – to a 1920 bungalow at 159 Australian Ave.
The presentation occurred during a meeting of the foundation's trustees, at which Karin Luter joined the Executive Committee.


Gerrymandering is massively overrated as a problem, both in its power to determine election outcomes in the House and in its effect on the national political climate. But it's perfectly appropriate for activists to take their complaints about it to their state capitols, to influence legislators and to force referenda on the subject. Federal courts should not be touching maps, let alone redrawing them in either party's favor just because the current ones look like a dog's breakfast.
There is only one reason this case is being heard now. It is that Democrats still haven't accepted their loss in the 2016 election. They can fall back on Hillary Clinton's victory in the national popular vote, but they lost the popular vote for the House of Representatives. Incapable, apparently, of accepting that their ideas and candidates have fallen short, they are peddling to their demoralized followers the notion that they lost because of gerrymandering.
Courts can't stop partisan gerrymandering entirely. But they can limit its effectiveness by enforcing strict numerical equality, by simple arithmetic. Supreme Court justices weary of redistricting cases might keep that in mind.

Hey, i just wanted to ask today i finished term 1 of HSC and i did well in all my assignments besides one; Maths and i wasn't ready and i think i failed. I was wondering if this mark ruins my whole HSC like is it possible to get a band 5 for that subject still or it isn't. I need an atar of 80 and aiming for a 90. Is it possible to still get an atar of 80.
Re: Maths -- HSC help!!
It is definitely possible to get a band 5, possibly even higher. The first tasks are often worth very little (less than 20% of your internal). It's also possible you didn't do as bad as expected. What's important for internal is your rank so if you found it hard it's possible a lot of other people did too, and even if you come out of this with a low rank there's plenty of time to improve it (I went from 13th in my first task to 6th in the second and was 8th overall). There's a good article on here explaining how the system works. Just work hard on the rest of your tasks and a band 5 is totally possible!

Lords welcome three new players
Posted on August 19, 2020 by oshawaexpress in DURHAM COLLEGE, SPORTS
The Durham Lords baseball team has welcomed two new pitchers and an outfielder to the squad. The two pitchers, Andrew Howald and Dustin Welker, are both Durham Region locals. (Photo courtesy of Durham College Athletics.)
Continuing to add to their roster, the Durham Lords have announced Andrew Howald, Corey Stewart and Dustin Welker as the newest members of the baseball program.
A local pitcher from Whitby, Howald stands 6'2". The Donald A. Wilson Secondary School grad has most recently competed as a member of the Toronto Mets, as well as the Whitby Select and Whitby Reds.
During his time with Whitby, Howald served as team captain while producing ERA and strikeout titles.
Howald will be entering the Business – Marketing program at Durham College this fall.
Joining the Lords from St. Catharines, Stewart provides another outfielder and bat to the lineup.
As a member of the Niagara Falcons, he has two top five results at the OBA championships over the past two years.
With the ability to hit for extra bases, the Grimsby Secondary School alum will be a welcomed addition to a high-powered Lords offence which scored five or more runs in 12 of 18 regular season games en route to a national championship last year.
Stewart will study Sport Management this September.
Another Durham Region talent, Welker comes to DC from Courtice Secondary School.
Competing with the Pickering Prospects, the pitcher was a member of the Canton Tournament winning team this past October.
Welker has also been a member of the Stouffville Yankees and Whitby Chiefs.
Meanwhile, with his high school he was an MVP and pitcher of the year, while winning the 2018-19 LOSSA championship.
With a handful of no-hitters and plenty of experience under his belt, Welker will look to make an impact as a member of the Lords.
Welker will be taking the HVAC Techniques program based out of Durham College's Whitby campus.


Childbirth education is incredibly important for all families expecting, not just for homebirth or birth center couples but for those planning hospital births as well. Jamin, Katrina and La Shel discuss everything from proper nutrition for a healthy pregnancy to trust in birth, risk and benefits of pain medication in childbirth, birth plans, understanding and coping with labor, the postpartum period and much more.
Typically classes meet in a small group of three to six couples in a comfortable and nurturing environment. At these classes you'll receive lots of practical information regarding the different stages of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the care of your newborn child through thought- provoking dialogue, memorable exercises and interesting videos.
Jamin, Katrina and La Shel strive to provide answers to all your important questions. Their approach to childbirth education is based on a holistic model: exploring not only the physiology of childbirth and pregnancy, but also the implications of the physiological and emotional aspects of the birth experience.
Their classes help pregnant women and their partners clarify their values, release fear, cultivate intuition and develop confidence for childbirth and parenting. They will help you to make more informed choices about birth and the care of your baby based on knowledge of benefits, risks and alternatives to obstetrical procedures.
I am humbled and inspired by the strength, commitment and love of the hundreds of couples I've been honored to support in preparing for their child's birth in my group and private classes which I began teaching in 2001. Couples who prepare for childbirth and are well supported, report having a greater sense of accomplishment and joy during and after the birth of their baby. In class you will learn what your options are, how to avoid unnecessary interventions, and align with your choices in any birth environment. You will form a deep understanding and broad perspective of the birth process and how to participate with it. You will practice pain coping, positions, touch, creating a supportive space, focusing, coping with fears, pre-natal bonding, deep relaxation, visualizations and affirmations.
Please join me, Kanuwena Perryman, wife, mother of three, sister, friend, doula, hypnotherapist, and 'Birthing from Within' influenced childbirth class instructor, in preparing to welcome your baby.

Envision a world that didn't require you to switch SIM cards everytime you travel or wanted to change network providers. Imagine a world where you could switch from one network provider to another seamlessly. A world where those expensive data roaming charges are eliminated completely.
The eSIM would allow all this to come to life by eliminating the need to replace your SIM card when switching between operators or while roaming, a configuration can be handled manually or wirelessly. The eSIM is a concept that has been developed and brought to life over the past few years.
It was first seen in Google's Pixel phones and Samsung smart swatches. Today a gradually increasing number of other devices have begun implementing the eSIM feature into their devices with Apple being the most recent after they launched their 3 new eSIM supporting IPhone's.
While the adoption of the eSIM is exciting and welcomed by most, not everyone will feel the same about it. Will the eSIM disrupt the telecom industry by presenting a new structure of customer ownership? Will service providers react to this as a threat or an opportunity?
Whether the adoption of the eSIM is a good or bad idea depends on who you ask. For consumers, the addition makes switching or roaming much more convenient. Instead of purchasing a new SIM card and removing the old one to replace the new, all you need to do is provision your device online to your new service provider. The eSIM also decreased prices due to increased competition because of reduced carrier replacement barriers.
For top industry organizations like Apple and Samsung or other device manufacturers, the eSIM bring a great opportunity. Additionally, to reducing device form-factor costs, eSIM will allow them to become "service aggregators" and grant them a major advantage in the customer ownership battle. Even though device manufacturers do not provide actual mobile services, the fact that network provisioning and plan commerce is simple decreases their dependence on service providers to sell smartphones.
For service providers, it's a huge challenge bundled with an opportunity. It's obvious that the eSIM would eventually force service providers to get rid of their existing SIM cards. Some network providers are even investing their time and efforts in making sure the eSIM standards are limited (for instance, only being able to pick a network once). However, it's not likely that service providers will be able to block eSIM innovations. Although, innovative service providers with intelligent multi-play and B2B tactics may be able to offer strong differentiators.
The Multi-play strategy is a good example of how service providers can keep their differentiators. When consumers purchase multiple devices (TV, cellular, home broadband etc.) all from the same operator, it makes switching to a new one difficult as it creates a barrier and then differentiators become more important.
For instance, Apple's actions last year when they released the first proprietary, programmable Apple SIM within their iPad Air/Mini, and then making the new iPhones SIM embedded earlier this year. The this lets users switch service providers without changing the SIM card.
This showed Apple's concentration in raising their consumer ownership through SIM disruptions and other complementary initiatives. The iPhone installment plan is an additional indication of their concentration in customer ownership.
Most of the short-term impacts affect the competitive environment amongst service operators. Although, in the long run, we would see new types of service operators that may take consumer ownership from conventional service providers. This may have on impact on the demand and requirements from business support system vendors in many domains.
The eSIM will offer more options for consumers and decrease the pressure on pricing, For the many agile MVNOs in the market, this can only be a really great addition.

Howard County to move on to Phase 1B of COVID-19 vaccination plan on Jan. 25
2020 Marylanders of the Year: This year, we chose two | COMMENTARY
By Baltimore Sun Editorial Board
Dr. Kathleen Neuzil, director of the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine. She's doing vaccine research last fall in this photo. (Handout)
This year has been like no other in our lifetimes; COVID-19 has taken our freedom, our loved ones and our familiar routines. It seems only fitting, then, that we also break from tradition in selecting The Baltimore Sun's Marylander of the Year for 2020.
Though each of our five finalists, announced last week, is worthy of recognition, two stood out above the others for the significant impact their tireless work has had — or will soon have — on all of us. The efforts of one honoree will, we fervently hope, get us out of the pandemic hell in which we've all been living, while the work of the other is what's enabled so many of us to get through it thus far.
The Baltimore Sun's 2020 co-Marylanders of the Year are: Kathleen Neuzil, director of the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health at the University of Maryland School of Medicine; and the thousands of men and women who make up Maryland's front-line workers in two vast and diverse categories — the health care and services industries.
Dr. Kathy Neuzil, is the Director of the Center for Vaccine Development & Global Health at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. 25 Women to Watch feature. September 8, 2020 (Lloyd Fox/Baltimore Sun)
Dr. Neuzil is among the world's leading research scientists in vaccine development and policy, and the only American member of the World Health Organization's prestigious Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization. Her work at the Center for Vaccine Development in Baltimore has most recently focused on influenza and typhoid, but the respiratory disease specialist pivoted to the novel coronavirus as the need became clear.
As one of two principal vaccine investigators for the COVID-19 Prevention Trials Network launched by the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Neuzil has led a major effort to develop and test safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines under the country's Operation Warp Speed public-private partnership.
She and her colleagues at the School of Medicine have been involved in the testing of two vaccines already (from Pfizer and Moderna), with testing of a third from Novavax set to begin shortly. They've also tested the antiviral drug remdesivir, which has since been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to reduce complications and death from COVID-19. And they participated in a study that debunked false claims by the president and some others that malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment for the novel coronavirus. In short, they've given up sleep and weekends and personal lives to focus on this urgent work.
Dr. Neuzils' colleagues describe her as a visionary leader and strategic thinker who, even at the helm of this huge effort, makes it a priority to mentor the next generation of vaccinologists. While the work she and her colleagues do is critical every day of every year, it is particularly so in 2020, making Dr. Neuzil a natural choice for the 2020 Marylander of the Year.
Her co-honorees, too, are everyday heroes whose varied roles in society help us to live our lives comfortably, efficiently and safely in a normal year. But this year, these front-line workers were called upon to put their own lives at risk by continuing to do their jobs out in the world, and thus facing exposure to COVID-19.

(Karl Merton Ferron/Baltimore Sun Staff) (Karl Merton Ferron/Baltimore Sun)
On the health care side, doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and others in the medical field interacted directly with individuals who contracted the deadly disease, offering them treatment, kindness and comfort — and, in too many cases, a hand to hold as their bodies gave out. Many people performing such critical work were separated from their own families, despite wearing layers of protective gear on the job, to avoid potentially infecting children and spouses. And some lost their own lives to this devastating disease, while working to save the lives of others. Two notable examples are Dr. Joseph Costa, who ran the critical care division of Mercy Medical Center and treated COVID-19 patients, and Dr. Lloyd Bowser Jr., a podiatrist who made house calls for elderly diabetic patients. The two beloved doctors died four months apart from COVID, each at the far too young age of 56.
The loss of life was not limited to those in health care. In April, Largo Giant employee Leilani Jordan, 27, and Windsor Mill bus driver David Dudley Sr., 61, each died of the disease. And thousands more essential workers got sick this year. Amazon warehouse employees came down with COVID, as did hundreds of U.S. Postal Service employees. In August, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works had to suspend recycling collection because a quarter of its workers were out on any given day, either in quarantine or active illness.
Those who could, though, kept at it every shift, delivering holiday presents and cards and groceries and meals and medications, so that many of us could stay within the relative safety of our homes. They brought us joy and basic necessities. They repaired our appliances, kept our food supply chain viable, rang up our produce purchases, and prepared takeout so good we forgot our problems for a while.
Many didn't have a choice in becoming an essential, front-line worker; they just needed to keep their jobs, even as the work became risky. And we're grateful they did. Whether a front-line worker is in a health care or services field, each contributed to the preservation of life — one through direct treatment and the other by allowing thousands of Marylanders to stay home and minimize COVID's spread. We have all benefited from their efforts, and they, alongside Dr. Neuzil, heartily deserve the co-title of Marylander of the Year.
Combined, our two Marylanders of the Year kept 2020 from being unbearably bleak, and they give us hope for 2021.

The Flowers of Literature: Consisting of Selections from History ..., Volumen1
Por William Oxberry
my warriors would have felt the sunshine of joy in their hearts. Hereafter when I die, instead of a noble grave and a grand procession, the rolling music and the thundering cannon, with a white flag waving at my head, I shall be wrapt in a robe and hoisted on a scaffold to the whistling winds, soon to be blown to the earth—my flesh to be devoured by wolves, and my bones rattled on the plains by the wild beasts of prey! (Addressing himself to Colonel Miller)-Chief of the warriors, your labours have not been in vain-they shall not be forgotten-ny nation shall hear of your honour to the dead. When I return, I will echo the sound of your guns."
There appears to us to be a very beautiful simplicity in the foregoing words; but by far the most pathetic of the Indian complaints are those addressed to the tribes, upon the daily encroachment of the white men on their villages. We seldom recollect reading any thing more affecting than the reproaches of Scauaudo, the old Oneida chieftain and convert, upon the discovery that their lands and improvements had been sold to the States, by the intrigue, as he imagined, of the white men. Scauaudo was then one hundred years of age, and had been blind for a long period before. While he spoke, the tears ran copiously down his cheeks and those of all his people. Even the missionary, who had settled among the Oneidas, could not refrain from the general sympathy excited by the murmurs of the forlorn patriarch. With his words we shall close this communication,
"My warriors and my children ! hear! it is cruel-it is very cruel -a heavy burden lies upon my heart! This is a dark day. The clouds are black and heavy over the Oneida nation, and a strong arm is pressing on us, and our hearts are groaning under it. The graves of our fathers are destroyed, and our children are driven away. Our fires are put out, and our beds removed from under us. The Almighty is angry with us, for we have been very wicked, and therefore it is that his arm does not keep us. Where are the chiefs of the risingsun? White chiefs now kindle their ancient fires ! There no Indian sleeps but those who are sleeping in their graves. My house will soon be like theirs-soon will a white chief kindle his fire upon the hearth of Oneida! Your Scauaudo will soon be no more, and his village no more a village of Indians. The news that came last night by our men from Albany made this day a sick day in Oneida. All our children's hearts are sick, and our eyes rain like the black clouds that roar on the tops of the trees in the wilderness. Long did the loud voice of Scauaudo cry-children, take care, be wise, be straight. His feet were then like the deer's, and his arm like the bear's. He can now only mourn out
a few words and be silent, and his voice will soon be heard no more in Oneida. But certainly he will be long in the minds of his children. In white men's land his name has gone far, and will not die. Long has he said to his children—drink no strong waters-it makes you mice for white
who are cats. Many a meal have they eaten of you. Their mouth is a snare, and their way like the fox. Their lips are sweet, but their heart is bitter. Yet there are good whites and good Indians. Jesus, whom I love, sees all-his great day is coming; he will make straight; he will say to cheating whites and drinking Indians, Begone ye, begone ye, go, go, go. In that day I will rejoice, but, oh, great sorrow is now in my heart that so many of my children mourn. The Great Spirit hath looked on, all the while the whites were cheating us, and it will remain in his mind-he is good; my blind eyes he will open. Children, his way is a good way. Hearken, my children, when this news sounds in the council-house towards the setting-sun, and the chiefs of the six nations hearken, and they send to the council by the great lake near the setting-sun, and they cry, make bows and arrows, sharpen the tomahawk, put the chain of friendship with the whites into the ground -warriors, kill, kill. The great chief * at the setting-sun won't kill any of the six nations that go into his land, because they have a chain of friendship with the whites; and he says, the whites have made us wicked like themselves, and that we have sold them our land. We have not sold it; we have been cheated : and my messengers shall speak true words in the great council towards the setting-sun, and say, -yet bury the tomahawk; Oneidas must be children of peace. Children, some have said that your chiefs signed papers of white men that sold our fires. Your chiefs signed no papers; sooner would they let the tomahawk lay them low. We know one of our men was hired by white men to tell you this, and he will now say so. Papers are wicked things. Take care; sign none of them, but such as our minister reads to us; he is straight. The tears are running from his eyes. Father, dry up your tears. We know,
your arm could, it would help us. You suffer with us; but you are the servant of the Great Spirit, and he will not love you less for loving Indians. Children, our two messengers will run and carry your sorrows to the great council fires t beside the setting-sun. Run, my children, and tell our words. Give health to all the chiefs assembled round the great fire. And may the Great Spirit bring you back in safety !"
Two men immediately set off for Buffaloe; but Scauaudo was too true a prophet. In six years afterwards, the fires of his fathers ceased to burn in their village. He had removed himself three miles further into the woods, and the commissioners of the United States were busy laying out their improvements in his deserted or rather usurped inheritance. Scauaudo was blind and

bed-ridden; he could not see the sorrows of his children. Alas! in a few years more, perhaps, this perishable record may be all that remains of the warrior of Oneida. May the arrow which ends his sorrows have its barbs smoothed by the reflection, that his name is not dead among " the white men."-"OUTALISSA." New Monthly Magazine.
CONSTANTINOPLE. The Bosphorus of Thrace, in whatever point of view it is considered, is unequalled in the interest it excites; whether with reference to the surprising nature of its origin; the number of local circumstances attached to its ancient history; the matchless beauty of its scenery; its extraordinary animal productions; the number of rare plants blooming amidst its towering precipices; its fleets and gondolas, towns, villages, groves and gardens; the cemeteries of the dead, and the busy walks of the living; its painted villas, verandas, flowery terraces, domes, towers, quays, and mouldering edifices: all these in their turn excite and gratify curiosity; while the dress and manners of the inhabitants, contrasting the splendid costume and indolence of the East, with the plainer garb and activity of the West, offer to the stranger an endless source of reflection and amusement.
It was near midnight when we returned from this excursion. On the following morning we determined to leave the Moderato, and proceed to Constantinople in one of the gondolas that ply in the canal for hire. These are more beautiful than the gondolas of Venice; and are often richly ornamented, although destitute of any covering. They are swifter than any of our boats upon the Thames; and this fact, I am told, has been ascertained by an actual contest, between a party of Turkish gondoliers in their own boat, and a set of Thames watermen in one of their wherries. We passed the gorge of the canal, remarkable as the site of the bridge constructed by Darius for the passage of his numerous army; the grandeur of the scenery increasing as we
we saw.
- approached the capital. The sides of the canal appeared covered with magnificent pavilions, whose porticoes, reaching to the water's edge, were supported by pillars of marble; when, all at once, the prospect of Constantinople, with the towns of Scutari and Pera, opened upon us, and filled our minds with such astonishment and admiration, that the impression can never be effaced. Would only that the effect produced upon the mind could receive expression from the pen! As nothing in the whole world can equal such a scene, it is impossible by any comparison to convey an idea of what
Le Bruyn, one of the oldest European travellers before the close of the seventeenth century, apologized for introducing a description of this astonishing sight, after the number of relations which other authors had afforded: What niust then be the nature of an apology used by an author, who, at the beginning of the nineteenth, should presume to add one to the number; especially when it is added, that more bas been written on the subject since the days of Le Bruyn than in all the ages which had preceded him, from the earliest establishment of the Byzantine colonies to the time in which he lived. In the long catalogue thus afforded, no one has been more happy in his description of Constantinople than an author, who had himself no ocular demonstration of the veracity of his remarks*. The Turkish squadron, returned from a summer cruise, were, when we arrived, at anchor off the point of the seraglio. One of the ships, a three-decker, the construction of a French engineer of the name of Le Brun, surprised us by its extraordinary beauty, and the splendour of its appearance. Its guns were all of polished brass; and its immense ensign, reaching to the surface of the water, was entirely of silk.
After what has been said of the external magnificence of this wonderful city, the reader is, perhaps, ill prepared for a view of the interior; the horror, the wretchedness, and filth of which are not to be conceived.
* Hist. of the Decline and Fall of tae Roman Empire, c. xvii. VOL. I.
Its streets are narrow, dark, and ill paved, and at the same time full of holes and ordure. In the most abominable alleys of London or Paris there is nothing so disgusting. They more resemble the interior of common sewers than public streets. The putrefying carcasses of dead dogs, with immense heaps of dung and inud, obstruct a passage through them. From the inequalities and holes in the narrow causeway, it is almost impossible to proceed without danger of putting an ankle out of joint. We landed at Galata, in the midst of dunghills; on which a number of large, lean, mangy dogs, some with whelps, wallowing in mire, and all covered with filth and slime, were sprawling or feeding. The appearance of a Frank
instantly raises an alarm among the animals, who never bark at the Turks; and, as they were roused by our coming on shore, the noise became so great that we could not hear each other speak. To this clamour were added the awlings dozen porters, vociferously proffering their services, and beginning to squabble with each other as fast as any of them obtained a burden. At length we were able to move on; but in such confined, stinking, and yet crowded lanes, that we almost despaired of being able to proceed. The swarm of dogs, howling and barking, continually accompanied us, and some of the largest attempted to bite. . When we reached the little inn of Pera, where a few small rooms, like the divisions in a rabbit-hutch, had been prepared for our reception, we saw at least fifty of these mongrels collected round the door in the yard, like wolves disappointed of their prey, .. The late storms had unroofed several of the houses in Pera; that in which we lodged was among the number: one corner of it had been carried away with the wind, so that, without climbing to the top for a view of the city, we commanded a fine prospect of the Golden Horn, and part of Constantinople, through the walls of our bed-rooms, which were open to the air.

Shangri La – album nagrany w 2004 przez Marka Knopflera. Płyta została nagrana w studio o nazwie "Shangri La" znajdującym się w Malibu i to właśnie jemu zawdzięcza swój tytuł. W latach sześćdziesiątych nagrywali tam artyści tacy jak Bob Dylan, Neil Young czy The Band, a sama płyta jest przesiąknięta muzyką i atmosferą właśnie z tamtych lat, słychać na niej wpływy takich artystów jak Lonnie Donegan, The Shadows, J.J. Cale, Chet Atkins, Muddy Waters.

Trudno jednoznacznie zakwalifikować muzykę z tej płyty, bazuje ona na amerykańskim folku, z domieszką country, bluesa i dużej dawki muzyki "pop" z lat sześćdziesiątych. Na płycie wyraźnie słychać charakterystyczny dla Knopflera dźwięk gitary, na której gra palcami, ale w dwóch utworach ("Our Shangri-La" i "Everybody Pays"), co zostało po raz pierwszy nagrane, używa kostki.

W warstwie tekstowej Knopfler kontynuuje i rozwija styl jego poprzednich solowych płyt, teksty opowiadają o normalnych, zwykłych ludziach, o codziennych wydarzeniach, czasami natchnione są wydarzeniami z życia artysty albo przeczytaną przez niego książką czy obejrzanym filmem. Na przykład piosenka "Boom, Like That" zainspirowana jest biografią Raya Kroca (założyciela McDonaldsa, w wielu miejscach cytuje nawet dosłownie zdania z jego autobiografii "Grinding It Out", "Song For Sonny Liston" opowiada o słynnym pięściarzu Sonny Listonie, utwór "Back to Tupelo" opowiada o początkach kariery Elvisa Presleya i jego dążeniu także do sławy aktorskiej a Donegan's Gone to lament Knopflera o śmierci Lonniego Donegana, najważniejszego chyba muzyka gatunku skiffle.

Former Transgender Swampscott Principal Now Teaching 4th Grade Sent Bizarre Email About Changing Pronouns From They To She, Makes Kids Talk To Imaginary Teacher Ms. Hershey
Swampscott Elementary School principal Tom Daniels made headlines in February of 2018 when he announced that he was non-binary, would sometimes come to school dressed as a woman, and wanted students to refer to him as "they."
This of course was inappropriate and confusing for young children, not only because of the identity crisis happening in front of their eyes, but also because they were forced to use grammatically incorrect pronouns or face punishment. He was lauded by the media for his alleged bravery as woke folk from all over spoke out to defend him.
However, he had already received a negative evaluation and was the subject of numerous teacher complaints. This appeared to be a way to make it more difficult for the school to not renew his contract at the end of the year.
Three weeks later he stopped coming to school, which led to a media circus as both police and reporters disrupted the learning process by sitting outside of the school during school hours.

Principal Daniels chose to do this in the middle of the school year (as opposed to waiting for the summer when they didn't renew his contract), further confusing kids who were there to learn math, social studies, English and science. Eventually he was hired back as a classroom teacher in Swampscott.

— The Daily Item (@itemlive) February 27, 2018
Principal Tom Daniels changed his name to Shannon Daniels at the time, but evidently grew tired of that name too. He's now a fourth grade teacher at Clarke Elementary School in Swampscott, and is going by a completely different made up name – Tonia Tomas, and wants new female pronouns. Except the problem is that he's been making students refer to him as "they" for the first two months of the year. In an email he sent out to the staff (forwarded by the principal) the biologically male former principal explained to his coworkers how he's going to adjust students to his new pronouns.
This is madness. He's made up a fictional character named Ms. Hershey in order to transition kids away from calling him "they." The fact that 9 year old kids are forced to participate in this man's mid-life crisis and/or mental breakdown is an injustice. We send our children to school to learn, not to be forced into participating in this nonsense. But then again, this was never about the kids. It was always about Tom Daniels.
Another problem is that according to the agreement he reached with the school district, he said he didn't intend on switching pronouns during the school year.
Before the start of the 2019-2020 school year, Daniels must inform the school district about the title and pronouns he chooses to use. If he chooses to change his pronoun usage during the school year, Daniels must provide two weeks' notice to the school district and be available to discuss what communications are necessary to provide to students and parents about the change.
"While Daniels retains the right to change title and/or pronouns at any time, Daniels does not intend to switch back and forth between multiple titles and/or pronouns throughout the school year and recognizes the importance of clarity and consistency," reads the agreement.
He recognized how confusing and distracting this is for kids this young, and he said he wouldn't pull a shenanigan like this. Then he went and did it anyway because the needs of the kids are secondary in the Swampscott Public Schools.
I'm all for tolerance and freedom, which is why I believe people should be allowed to wear whatever they want (so long as it's appropriate), but I draw the line when you drag our kids into it. While kids in other classrooms are learning about math and English his students will be learning about him. Because it's all about him. Consequently their education will suffer, but that's OK because the needs of children take a backseat to the delusions of the man tasked with teaching them. If my son were in this class I'd instruct him to refer to the teacher as Mr. Daniels and dare the school to punish him for doing so. We have freedoms too.
