For the first time in its history, Hays CISD's student population is now more than 20,000 strong.
That milestone was reached earlier this month; Hays CISD is now responsible for 20,073 students with more on the way.
While one of the fastest growing districts in Texas is prepared for the influx of students, officials are still feeling growing pains in some respects.
HCISD Chief Communication Officer Tim Savoy said the district has plenty of room for the students with the addition of Johnson High and new staff members. The only exception is managing overcrowded middle schools in the district.
To supplement this growth, the district plans to look at its bonding capacity and whether they can afford to either expand the currently existing middle schools or construct a new campus. Officials said it could be important to expand elementary schools in the future.
Superintendent Eric Wright welcomes the district's growth. Wright said his concern extends to possible legislative actions that may inhibit the district's ability to build and spend money on growth.
In December, Wright and school board members requested the Texas Legislature consider fast growing schools as an exception when it comes to a proposed change that would cap districts' taxing abilities.
According to The Texas Tribune, Gov. Greg Abbott is seeking to pass a bill that would provide tax payers $992 million in relief in 2020. Should this be approved, Wright said, the district's ability to afford its own growth would be hindered.
Wright was referring to a bill in the Texas Legislature that proposes a limit on the property tax increases, saying such a proposal would severely limit high-growth districts.
The future of the bill is unknown until decisions are made during the legislative session, but district officials noted their concern in their short list of legislative priorities.
In the meantime, Savoy said the district will begin the process over again with demographers to estimate the district's growth in the coming decade.


The create table query can be used to add new tables to nanoSQL while it's running. If you'd like to adjust an existing table use the alter table query instead.
NanoSQL data models and indexes are loosely defined, you can easily change the data models/indexes as often or as dramatically as you'd like. The current data model for each table is used to restrict rows and updates going into the database. Once you change the data model/indexes all the old rows might not match your new data model or be indexed correctly, so a conform rows query might be needed.
Extremely Important After a table is created you can use alter table or tweak the table in your connect() call to adjust almost anything including adding or removing columns/indexes, changing the table name and many other things. The one thing you can't ever change is the primary key column or type. Once the table is created the primary key column and type is written in stone. If you have to change the primary key column/type a new table has to be made and all the rows from the original table imported into it.
The create table query accepts a single argument that's an object described by the InanoSQLTableConfig interface .
In the above example, we have three columns. id is a column containing an int or integer value, it's also the primary key column that will be auto incremented. The age column is of type int as well, has a default value of 13, a min value of 13 and a max value of 110. The final column is name, it's of type string and has a default value of "none" and must not be null.
Important Table names and column names must contain only letters, numbers and underscores "_". They cannot begin with an underscore.
any, blob These types will not actually type cast, just pass through whatever value is provided.
safestr A safe string type, automatically replaces HTML entities with HTML special characters.
int Integer type, floating point numbers will be rounded to the nearest whole number. Strings will be parsed into integers. Everything else becomes zero. Works with auto increment as primary key type.
number, float Floating point type, numbers will pass through, strings will be converted to numbers using parseFloat, everything else will become a zero.
uuid, timeId, timeIdms An extension of the string type. Doesn't perform any validation beyond making sure the value is a string. If any of these are used in a primary key column they will autogenerate as needed.
boolean, bool true and the number 1 resolve to true, everything else resolves to false.
geo An object containing lat and lon properties, represents a geographic coordinate.
Any type is also supported as an array or array of arrays, (or arrays of arrays of arrays...) examples: any, any, number, string, etc.
Primary Keys cannot be geo, object, obj, array or map types.
pk boolean Use this column as the table's primary key.
ai boolean Enable auto increment for int type primary keys.
notNull boolean Don't allow NULL values into this column.
default any | () => any The default value for this column if no value is provided on create. If a function is used it will be called on each insert to get the value for this column.
max number If the column is a number type, limit the values to be no higher than this.
min number If the column is a number type, limit the values to be no lower than this.
model Object A nested data model.
When you use the obj, object, or map types you can declare a nested data model for that column. This can be nested infinitely, so if your rows contain complicated objects nanoSQL will type cast all the way down. Objects are also supported as arrays, so if you need an array of objects type casted it's just as easy.
NanoSQL supports secondary indexes on any column, including nested columns or values inside array columns.
The index syntax is very similar to data model syntax and supports these types: int, float, number, date, and string, these types can also be indexed as one dimensional arrays. geo type can also be indexed, but not as an array.
Also like data model columns, each index can have additional properties attached to it that change the behavior of the index on that column.
Once created normal (non array type) indexes can be used in where conditions with =, IN, BETWEEN , or LIKE conditions.
// get all users who's favorite sports starts with "base".  Would return baseball, base jumping, etc.
// get all users who's age is exactly 25.
Using LIKE with indexes that are string type works like an autocomplete, pass in the beginning of the search term followed by "%" to signify the ending wildcard. If this specific format isn't followed the LIKE condition will not use the index.
Orderby queries can also use indexes, they only work when you're using a single column in the orderBy query and that column is either a standard (non array) secondary index or primary key.
You can also safely index values inside arrays of your columns. These don't count as array indexes since each index row is still holding a single value.
If unique is enabled, upsert queries that attempt to add a second row to a given secondary index value will fail.
Array indexes only work with INCLUDES, INTERSECT ALL , INTERSECT, and INCLUDES LIKE where conditions. They will not work with =, BETWEEN, IN or LIKE used with standard indexes.
You can safely array index with int, number, string, and float types.
// get all users who's favorite sports array includes a string that starts with "base".
The geo data type can be indexed but has some special conditions with its indexing behavior. First, the geo data type cannot be indexed if it's an array index type.
When inserting/reading values from the geo data type, you should be using or expecting an object with a lat and lon property containing the latitude and longitude coordinates.
The CROW function uses kilometers by default, you can change the value at nSQL().planetRadius to a different unit value to change this.
The only supported compare in the where statement for geo the index are < and <=, all other compares will lead to a full table scan.
You can optionally setup the index to ignore casing.
When this is enabled, the secondary index will ignore casing on updates and queries.
When indexing int, float and number types you'll find that negative values don't always work with BETWEEN queries. Database engines typically have problems with sorting negative numbers & positive numbers since there isn't a real way to sort them correctly using binary.
This doesn't really matter if you're using an array index like int, float, or number since BETWEEN queries don't work with these types anyway. But if you're using a standard index where range queries will be needed, this can represent a problem.
The solution is using an offset, where all numbers are raised by a specific amount so that no negative numbers make it into the index.
With the optional offfset property, you can have nanoSQL automatically adjust the values as they are added to the index, then adjust your queries when they request values from the index. It all happens behind the scenes, so you can be oblivious to the complexity besides this small adjustment to your data model.
Important If you add or adjust an offset to an existing index, you MUST rebuild the index after the change or you'll have a bad time.
The offset should be set to the opposite of the lowest number you expect in the index. For example, if you expect the values in the index to go as low as -500, you should set the offset to be 500 or maybe even a bit higher. If you set the offset to something insane like 99999999 the database will take longer to insert and query the rows with longer digits so there is a cost to just throwing a big number in there. Try to keep the offset as low as possible while still keeping in range of your negative numbers.
If you aren't planning on querying negative numbers with BETWEEN on your index, the offset isn't needed.
You can also setup foreign keys in your database. Foreign keys must exist as a property of an existing index, they're used to keep rows in sync across tables.
Let's take a look at a simple example, keeping track of user posts.
RESTRICT Don't allow a parent row to be deleted if child rows exist attached to it.
NONE Do nothing with the foreign key restriction, default.
Foreign keys are a pretty complicated topic, you can read more on this website about how they work.
You can setup preset queries, these are useful for securing server side requests coming from clients or declaring all the data setters/getters inline with the table.
Then, to use the preset query simply call the presetQuery method with the arguments of the desired query, then execute as normal.
The result of presetQuery is a standard query object, it works the same as any other query.

Towards the Basilica of Saint Peter Rome, Italy
Reaching the depths of the Earth
"Take me to Saint Peter's, please," I asked the driver.
And that is where he took me. I walked to the side of the basilica, which was enormous, but that's not what concerned me. I told my name to the Spanish guide who was waiting and, with the three Peruvians, we entered the church through a small door and started to go downwards, so deep that I felt we were entering the very depths of the Earth. It is unbelievable how up-to-date the Vatican is. Automated glass doors opened and closed as we descended under Rome, and all you can see is dirt and archaeological digs, until we finally reached the level of an early Christian cemetery which bordered alongside one for idol worshippers.
The necropolis under Saint Peter's Basilica, Rome
Everything around me was located three levels under the central square of Saint Peter's, where hordes of pilgrims and tourists were walking at that very instant, but we couldn't even hear them. It was absolutely silent in the vast emptiness of that place. It was truly breathtaking! In those little alleys that we were walking, completely covered by the Church overhead, beyond reaching the depths of the Earth, you also reach the depths of History. This is the core of Christian Rome, and it is from here that its voice is heard throughout the world.
At some point, we went up a few steps and you can't imagine what we saw! Saint Peter's true grave, with his bones saved in a protective container made of plexiglass. The first Christians had built it here and it was spare, like the small structures you would see in any ordinary cemetery. Over this small structure, Constantine the Great had the first basilica built, the altar of which was directly over the grave. Over Constantine's basilica, the structure we see today stands, with Bernini's baldacchino located directly over the plexiglass-encased bones.
The Baldacchino in Saint Peter's Basilica, Rome
As if guiding me, the voice inside me told me to thank the guide, who opened an iron door with some enormous keys and, leaving the depths of the earth, I ascended to the second level where I toured around the graves of the various Popes and, when I got up to the third level and saw the radiant majesty of the church, I was struck dumb.
It was impossible for me to view Saint Peter's like a church; I saw it as a museum. Especially after viewing the home of Simon Peter in Capernaum – you can imagine what a fisherman's house that housed Christ for two years might look like – I found myself walking around slowly, observing the rich décor and I felt…what? It is so difficult to describe. It defies speech. I asked, but his voice was lost to me. Like a dream, he suddenly appeared before me as if in a vision, in a place in the Holy Land that I haven't told you of yet.
I was in one of the Hellenistic towns of the Middle East, known as Scythopolis, the only one now left in Israel and known as Bet Schean. It had once been a huge Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine centre, built on the old commercial road between Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean. Naturally, the pilgrim inside of me awoke, along with my love for the Hellenistic East, but it was also a nice break from all the religious touring we had been doing. I was taken over by a romantic mood as I started to wander around the ruins. At some point, I went up to a semi-ruined Roman temple, and what I saw made me sit down on a fallen column.
From up high, I could see the enormous pillars of the temple that had fallen to the ground because of an earthquake. This sight gave me a frightening feeling of catastrophe that was difficult to shake off. An intricately carved half-eagle had become stuck in the dirt during its fall. The same had happened to some Corinthian column capitals. These images took on an entirely new significance in the Holy Land. In my mind, I created a wind that shrieked and destroyed the world of idol worshipers, and then I let it die down over the caves and rocks of the various Christian sites we had visited that had no aesthetic significance. Then I called up the wind once more and, like a tornado, brought it here, to the basilica of Saint Peter, where I was walking, and I let it bring everything artistic and beautiful that the Eternal City has acquired over the centuries.
Saint Peter's Basilica, Rome
Rome never did anything in a small way. Majesty was in its very breath. From the palaces of the Caesars to the mausoleums of its emperors, from the theatrical squares and baroque palaces, up to the highest point of Michelangelo's famous dome that dominates the city.

And here it is! We had been hoping to tell you that "we're live" at the same time, but issues with the iOS build have delayed our release. We will keep you posted with when the release will be.
In the meantime, the list you are all waiting to see. Introducing the full 229 cards that make up the new Core. We will be running numerous Sealed (now 6 packs) and Draft (now 4 packs) tournaments for both Core and New Age when the release it out.
At the end of the list we will show you FIVE additional card buffs included in this release.
Over the last few sets we have been working to make gear removal more efficient. This mana buff makes Return to Elements more in line with our current costing, taking out two random gear for just 1 more mana than removing a gear of your choice.
We knew we needed a rare Dragon to appear in Core as dragons are a key element of the Ancient Kingdom. Firespout is more exciting that Deathless, but the 3/3 stat line made it less than impressive in the modern environment. We've improved this by giving Firespout an extra point of health.
With our push for more creature interaction Recoil might be an odd choice, but the fact that it can be played both offensively and defensively in creature battles, and its role wasn't solely to fuel oppressive combo decks, Recoil was the clear choice. That said, it needed a boost, so its mana cost was reduced from 3 to 2.
A minor, but important change. Rotfeeder has been given Corpsecraft. First off, it just makes sense (he's eating the dead in his picture) and second, by playing him on a corpse he immediately puts another creature into his discard pile getting you closer to that magic number 10.
And last but not least, we've dropped the base cost of BoaNG to 2. We recognized that our previous nerf went too far, but knew that having a scaling cost was still the way to go. That one mana can make a big difference. Paying 9 mana for a 7/7 with 7 abilities is really good. And you might now... you know... want to play with some Scroll Makers in your Birth deck.


New Delhi: The billion dollar Walmart-Flipkart deal was overpriced with a justification of high growth prospects, according to multiple market experts.
They believe the acquisition may be a green signal for more global giants to foray into the Indian startup space. "It seems that the valuation Walmart has given to Flipkart is on the higher side, which affected adversely the market cap of Walmart in the US market showing a decline in market cap of close to around 10 million dollars on that particular day. Its seems that from the US capital market perception it was an overpriced valuation," said Ashwajit Singh, Managing Director of IPE Global.
US giant Walmart Inc on May 9 said it is buying 77 percent stake in Flipkart for about USD 16 billion (Rs 1.05 lakh crore), its biggest deal which will give the retailer access to Indian e-commerce market that is estimated to grow to USD 200 billion within a decade.

Thruline Marketing Divests Agency Services and Call Center Lead Generation Businesses – To Focus on Organic Student Search and Employer-Sponsored Career Training
Media Contact: Mike McHugh, Chief Executive Officer, [email protected], 913.254.6014
LENEXA, Kan. (December 2, 2019) – Thruline Marketing announced the sale of multiple lines of business from its portfolio of education marketing and lead generation services to EducationDynamics.
Thruline has sold assets relating to its industry-leading agency services business, which provides marketing and recruitment support to grow student enrollment to more than 20 higher education institutions, and its best-in-class call center lead generation business, which qualifies and connects thousands of prospective students per day to Thruline's network of post-secondary schools.
Following the sale of these businesses, Thruline remains committed to connecting high-intent education seekers to degree and training opportunities through its retained lines of business:
Student search websites focused on high-growth career fields: Thruline engages with over 25 million visitors per year between its company-owned websites and proprietary network of partner sites to help people research education options in fields such as cosmetology, teaching, criminal justice, and trucking; and
Innovative employer-sponsored career training: Building disruptive models that help people access training programs partially or fully underwritten by employers, particularly in the healthcare, cosmetology, and wellness sectors.
Thruline's retained businesses share fundamental traits of high growth potential and scalability. "By streamlining the company and narrowing our strategic focus, we believe Thruline will be able to move quickly and creatively to capitalize on exciting opportunities," said Chief Executive Officer Mike McHugh.
In particular, Thruline has been investing in its employer-sponsored career training business to address a critical inefficiency in the US labor market: a severe and growing shortage of trained, certified professionals in vocational-type careers across a multitude of employment categories.
These investments include the February 2019 acquisition of Premier Nursing Academy (www.premiernursingacademy.org), a company providing no-cost training and upfront employer sponsorship to students entering the healthcare field. Additionally, in the massage and cosmetology industries, Thruline works directly with national employers to create and promote employer-sponsored education programs where students interview with employers before entering school and receive up to 75% of relevant tuition cost reimbursed by their future employer.
"While we endorse the value of a traditional college degree, we also see the need for a more student- and employer-friendly model that emphasizes focused, fast, affordable training with low to no risk for students," said McHugh. "Employers are asking for better ways to find and train high-quality employees, and consumers are seeking alternatives to the traditional post-secondary education track to receive targeted, high-quality training for in-demand careers."

Q: Return the first and last element in the list Scheme Pretty straightforward question. My initial approach was to define another procedure to find the last element of lst within first-last. After finding the last element I appended it with the first element of lst (car lst).
This is how append works.
(append list1 list2)
    e.g., (append '(1 2 3) '(2 1 5)) -> (1 2 3 2 1 5)
I'm wondering if the problem is just with my syntax but I am not sure.
(define (first-last lst)
 (define (last lst)
  (cond ((null? (cdr lst))(car lst))
  (else (last (cdr lst)))))
(append(car lst)(last lst)))

The error occurs in the
(append(car lst)(last lst)))

"mcar: contract violation
expected: mpair?
given: 1"
This is my first question on stack, so I'm sorry if the question is not presented in the correct way.

A: append is only for joining two or more lists. Here, though, you're not joining existing lists, but building a list from two elements. For that, use list:
(list (car lst) (last lst))

A: If you can use match, a neat solution is possible:
(define first-last
  (lambda (x)
    (match x
           ((first rest ... last)
            (list first last))
           ((only) (list only only))
           (_ #f))))

Of course, you could return something other than #f in the catch-all clause.

Breast cancer has become the poster child of corporate cause- related marketing campaigns. Countless women and men walk, bike, climb and shop for the cure.
Each year, millions of dollars are raised in the name of breast cancer, but where does this money go and what does it actually achieve?
Directed by Léa Pool, Pink Ribbons, Inc. is a feature documentary that shows how the devastating reality of breast cancer, which marketing experts have labeled a "dream cause," has been hijacked by a shiny, pink story of success.


This article is based on remarks made to a conference in Dublin on 24-25 October 2014 organised by the Fondazione Centesimus Annus - Pro Pontifice.
What is a corporation but a collective of individuals, whether these are owners, management or employees? We need always to consider the individual and the collective responsibility that we have when we consider the firm.
Scholars at the University of Chicago convinced the world to believe in perfect markets, where resources are efficiently allocated when we each pursue our own interest. According to this logic, there is no need to seek the welfare of others because the welfare of others is best served if I serve only my own interests. Such behaviour neglects the consequences of our actions on others. This thinking derives from Adam Smith but misses the critical component. Smith presumed that each individual involved in the market exchange brought with him to the transaction all his ethical and moral background. People forget that.
As individuals, we know there is nothing more lonely and meaningless than a life lived only for oneself. Inadvertently we have created a world that poorly serves the human who is meant to dwell in community with others. How does this affect the individual in the financial services industry, who is increasingly being asked to work hours that mean the vast majority of his or her waking life is spent on the job?
That person wants to feel not only valued and respected but also that they are making a contribution. While some are satisfied with 'just a job,' many think in terms of careers and vocations, and define themselves in no small part by what they do. Some belong to professions: doctor, lawyer, or priest, for example. In finance, it might be foreign exchange trader, asset manager, or risk officer.
The ability to define oneself as belonging to a group of professionals is increasingly useful in a world where few are long employed by the same company anymore. There was a clear shift in the 1990s from career bankers, where individuals were scrupulously trained and moved around and up the organisation until retirement, to a hire and fire mentality based on annual results. Training programmes were outsourced or dropped.
It is not clear who broke the bargain first, the employee or the employer, but once that happened the loyalty, the values, the culture and the ethics became much harder to maintain. Staff began to think of themselves as investment bankers, traders or securitisation specialists, finding identity in their sub-profession instead of their employer. They moved up in pay fastest by moving across institutions. Such moves also left their personnel files behind them, with a clean slate in a new shop.
People began to be called headcount or 'FTE' for full-time equivalent, or even human capital, instead of people. To protect the carapace of the manager, we denied the humanity of the employee. In the worst cases, hiring and firing are outsourced. For entry level positions these days most firms outsource the initial screening and interviewing, using management time to see only the top candidates. What does it say about an organisation's commitment to its staff, when it subcontracts its hiring process?
Is it any wonder in this environment that behaviours began to change? Soon, bosses did not want to be told bad news. Chains of intermediation grew so long and complex that few of those trading recognized that the money moving down a wire belonged to a real person somewhere, representing their savings, their children's education, their home, or the funding for their retirement.
Dehumanisation affected customers as well. Customers interact far more frequently with an ATM than a banker these days. When you do speak to 'your' banker, you get a touch tone system that occasionally will give you a human voice 1000 miles away when all electronic interventions fail.
When global organisations have over 100,000 staff, and millions of customers, we will not return to a world of personalised service. So how do we humanize the financial conglomerate?
How do we reintroduce the individual to the corporation?
Where can the individual go for support? How do we encourage staff to ask the tough ethical questions needed to keep a company on the straight and narrow? The individual employee needs nourishment: from community, from family and from faith. Peer networks can help, as can professional networks. A cushion of cash can also help, as you can actually afford to walk away from a job where you are asked to do something you think wrong. Even without such a cushion, some have the courage to do this. In a brilliant short book by Derrick Bell, an American law professor and civil rights professor called Ethical Ambition, Bell explains how and when he felt he had to take a stand at the cost of his career, not by whistleblowing, but by walking away.
We also have to change the collective, the corporation.
Even with the strength and support of family, faith and community, it is difficult to come to work every day if what you are being asked to do is incongruent with your own beliefs and ethics. And yet, almost no one in financial services consciously sets out to do evil. People mostly want to be good, and want to be proud of what they do. They want to be proud to tell their partners, their parents, their children and their neighbours what they do for a living.
And yet how can you be fair at home and unfair at work; truthful with friends but not colleagues or customers? It is incongruous, indeed schizophrenic, to ask someone to believe or act in one way at home and another at work. At some stage the collective, that is the corporation and its behaviours, must be considered as well, so that what we are asking of the individual at work is not inconsistent with his beliefs and ethical framework in his life as a whole.
Where to begin? The firm is the obvious unit. You cannot treat customers fairly and not treat employees fairly. You cannot short the supplier and benefit the shareholder in the long term. You cannot treat senior management well and the contract cleaners poorly. The first step is to remember there is a human being at the beginning and end of any and every transaction. It is here that senior staff must model the behaviours they want the rest of the firm to adopt. Such fundamental issues must pervade the company's mission, and be consistent throughout its management structures, its product design, its performance management systems and its customer service.
How to do this in a globalized financial system?
More problematic is the globalization of finance and business. It is difficult enough to talk about values and ethics in the heterodoxy of modern London, yet we need to find a vocabulary in our search for the common good that works for all faiths, and no faith, without losing its value and meaning in the process.
Recently the Christian vocabulary of the common good, equality and stewardship has been borrowed by business. Either the Church has been remarkably successful in providing an alternative narrative or, more cynically, it is possible that business is using the language of the Church cosmetically. Here it matters deeply whether the effort is real or a veneer of reform.
How will we know? The proof will be in changed behaviour: the treatment of employees and customers, the retention of staff, as well as the treatment of outsourcers and their environmental footprint. The individual will recognize change in the financial services community when he or she can bring his or her authentic self to work; where what they are asked to do in the course of making their living not only is in line with the values they maintain in their lives but provides support for those beliefs. They will contribute to the definition and fulfilment of the purpose of the corporation that gives it its license to operate because it fills a social purpose as well as enriching its shareholders.
This subject is gaining momentum; it is our job to ensure that it includes a fundamental integration between the individual within the corporation, and the corporation within the community.

Is an Islamist guerrilla war overtaking Europe?
The atrocities committed in Brussels earlier this month by the Islamic State, occurring in the unofficial capital of the European Union and so quickly after the massacres in Paris, has created some speculation that the campaign of Al Qaeda, its offshoot the IS and similar Sunni extremist groups against the West and particularly Western Europe, is entering a new and more dangerous phase.
This escalation has been described as having already moved beyond simple terrorism to an active guerilla war to fears of a low intensity insurgency breaking out in Europe if trained or even veteran IS "personnel" should make it into the Occident from the Near East.
However the Islamist assault on Europe still hasn't reached the point of sustained frequency of the large-scale, or even low-casualty attacks of the "Second Intifada"* period or the current terrorist offensive in Israel and it differs from the "classic" asymmetrical warfare formula that characterized guerilla conflicts such as Second Indochina War or Vietnam War and the Algerian War. The latter were still largely defined by attacks on military or government targets by the insurgents and regular military and anti-guerilla "Special Operations" by the armed forces and specialized police of the state and its allies.
Despite the often frequent use of indiscriminate violence against civilians by the respective irregular forces in these conflicts, none of them had military strategies based almost completely, or entirely, on deliberately committing crimes against humanity. The Islamic State, Al Qaeda and their kind are not like the modern guerrilla movements of the Cold War era; their tactics, strategies and goals bear greater similarity to the campaigns of Mahmud of Ghazni and the war crimes of the government in the Second Sudanese Civil War than to Viet Cong, Mao or Che. A guerrilla war for them would be more like the Rwandan Genocide than The Battle of Algiers.
* I'm not completely comfortable using that term; there is a continual record of organized Arab terrorist violence against Jews in Israel since at least 1947 and arguably, 1920, and of the same nature of the mob attacks, scattered shootings and stabbings that have dominated the violence since 1987. It would be more accurate to think of the current violence as the latest round in a war that has continued uninterrupted since at least the start of the "First Intifada" until now or of the entire era from 1987 to the present as the current incarnation of a sustained but evolving conflict punctuated by truces or other temporary calm, or even "peace." Historians have often classified drawn out, intermittent and shifting conflicts such as the Hundred Years War and even the French Wars of Religion under a single umbrella term if official hostilities were in fact continuous for that time span, and for the sake of categorization and simplifying their work; the war to drive the Jews back into homeless thralldom should be viewed similarly.

Once upon a time, a football league that played during the Spring resided within the United States.
It went by the name of the United States Football League and was born in 1983. Three years later, however, the league ceased to exist.
Born from the vision of a New Orleans art dealer by the name of David Dixon, the USFL opened tryouts to the public and promised a spring to summer season. During its short run, the league boasted athletes such as Herschel Walker, Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Reggie White, Doug Flutie and Mike Rozier and featured as many as 18 teams. But with the decision to add six expansion teams, the USFL came to an end.
Author Jeff Pearlman details the history and legacy of USFL in his latest book, "Football for a Buck: The Crazy Rise and Crazier Demise of the USFL." Pearlman includes more than 400 interviews in his book, revealing the rise and fall of the USFL. Although the league may no longer be around, Pearlman notes that it continues to live on in unexpected ways.
Jeff Pearlman joins Larry Mantle to discuss a different era of football.
Jeff Pearlman will be speaking about his book at an event at Chevalier's Books on Thursday, September 20, at 7:00pm.

Royal Caribbean Quantifies Financial Impact of the Grandeur of the Seas Fire
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
MIAMI, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE, OSE: RCL) today quantified the financial impact of the Grandeur of the Seas fire.
On May 27, 2013, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s vessel Grandeur of the Seas experienced a fire in an industrial area on the aft of the ship. The company has taken the vessel out of service and expects that it will take approximately six weeks to complete the repair efforts. The company estimates that the direct financial impact of this event, net of insurance, is a reduction of $0.10 per share. "The extent of the financial impact was relatively high because the affected sailings were during the premium summer season," said Jason Liberty, senior vice president and chief financial officer. The ship is expected to return to service for its July 12, 2013 sailing date.
"We are gratified that no one was hurt and that the safety and comfort systems performed exactly as designed," said Adam Goldstein, president and chief executive officer of Royal Caribbean International. "I extend my appreciation to our crew who performed so well, as well as to our guests who have been cooperative, understanding and highly complimentary of the shipboard team throughout," Goldstein continued.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE, OSE: RCL) is a global cruise vacation company that owns Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Pullmantur, Azamara Club Cruises and CDF Croisieres de France, as well as TUI Cruises through a 50 percent joint venture. Together, these six brands operate a combined total of 41 ships. They operate diverse itineraries around the world that call on approximately 460 destinations on all seven continents.

A new project under the title "Trust Yourself" was organized by the "Zift Organization" from 3 to 11 June in Sakarya, Turkey.
This project focused on finding innovative ways to help and incorporate people with disabilities into the broader society, bringing together 50 participants from Turkey, Romania, Slovakia, Poland and Greece.
The participants were engaged in various activities aimed at raising awareness about creating a society where disabled people could live a normal life as everyone else. The participants of the project met with disabled students at a local middle school and had also a meeting with the City Mayor of Sakarya Municipality.
"Dione" Local Development Centre, established in Ancient Olympia, was represented in collaboration with the cooperative social enterprise "Eco Divri" by the Erasmus Intern Vugar Mamedov from Azerbaijan and the Erasmus Young Entrepreneur Emmanuel Dweh Togba from Liberia.
Their participation was fruitful and contributed meaningfully towards the success of the training project.

I imagine John Watson thinks love's a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive. This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head. You could have chosen any random number and walked out of here today with everything you've worked for, but you just couldn't resist it, could you? I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof.

Genetic Study of Native Grapevine Varieties of Northern, Western and Central Greece with the Use of Ampelographic and Molecular Methods

Maritina STAVRAKAKI Agricultural University of Athens, School of Agriculture, Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Department of Crop Science, Laboratory of Viticulture, Iera Odos 75, 11855, Athens
Keywords: genetic diversity, grapevine cultivar, phenotyping, RAPD, Vitis vinifera L.
The aim of this study was the identification and discrimination of 49 grapevine varieties that are cultivated in northern, western and central Greece with the use of the ampelographic description and the molecular method RAPD. The grapevine varieties were located in their cultivation centers and the studied samples were collected from productive vineyards of these regions. For the ampelographic description, 22 ampelographic characters were used following a list of descriptors developed by the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), while for the molecular analysis 8 of the most polymorphic primers were used. The results showed that: (a) there is high degree of genetic heterogeneity among most of the varieties studied, (b) grapevine varieties 'Xinomavro' and 'Zalovitiko' exhibited identity with both methods used, therefore the latter constitutes a synonym/clone of the former, (c) high degree of genetic similarity was recorded between cv 'Stavroto' and 'Abelakiotiko', a result enhancing the view that they constitute biotypes/clones of an original/parent variety and originated through the accumulation of mutations, (d) a previous hypothesis is confirmed. This hypothesis states that in the vineyards of northern Greece, different varieties of Vitis vinifera L. as well as hybrids (direct producers) were imported. Names/synonyms were given to these imported varieties and hybrids related to their place of origin or the morphological traits of the grape/berries implying identity among them ('Mavroudi', 'Voulgariko', 'Voulgaroudia', 'Vapsa' etc.), while they are different varieties, (e) the combination of the ampelographic description and the molecular method RAPD is very effective in the identification and discrimination of grapevine cultivars.

First of all, sorry you had to do that.
The second half of your post, though... precisely. This isn't just MM. There's a dozen-strong PR team involved. None of this is visceral, spontaneous. It's constructed.
And volunteer? Get her hands dirty for hours on end without a photo opportunity? Yeah.
A gay friend of mine recently told me just how much under-the-radar charity work George Michael used to do. No fuss. Just did it. I was taken aback.
That's the difference.
Cheers chap. Thankfully I'm (so far) quite robust about such things when needs must. There but for the grace of god and all that.

TBF to her (and I'm not a big fan of her), if she didn't miscarry and it's just a load of bollocks and she gets found out, she'll be crucified by the media and every right thinking person, it's just not the kind of thing you blag.
Just to add, if she is making a wilfully misleading statement, it's something she will have to keep perpetuating with repetitve accuracy for the rest of her life. I wonder if that fact has entered both their brains. One slip-up, one narrative deviation.........

He was to give up all that he has strived for, and I as his loyal life partner was working very hard to support him. The strain proved too much, and I did something which was regrettable and said something which was not wholly true. But, at the same time, it brought the issue into the public arena. I hope my words now also reinforce the need to deal with mental illness and I hope for your support and understanding at this difficult time."

I don't personally believe the miscarriage is false News, but the way such a Private, personal matter is being used 4 or 5 months after the event is the bit that sticks in my craw.
There is talk of at least 12 PR staff on their books, but I reckon that's just the tip of the iceberg, when you start to take into account Security, Childcare, Catering etc.
I have this vision of a room full of sycophants, pen and paper poised (North Korean style), hanging on every word and addressing them both as "Your Highness". What a shame no one on the payroll is able to tell them when to shut up and desist from pissing off the majority of us.

Cooking rice has never been easier!
Love it or hate it, you can't avoid rice while living in Japan. It's the prime meal on every Japanese dinner, the best company to all your Washoku favorites and the nutrient-rich meal that can keep you full throughout the day. But how often do you find yourself frustrated at all the many buttons your rice cooker at home has? Or ending up using only the largest button, ignoring the rest because you can't fully understand them?
If you have at least once in your journey in Japan shifted to a regular pot because you couldn't be bothered deciphering your rice cooker, here's your one stop guide — a list of the most commonly used rice cooker kanji characters.
Keeps the rice warm until you open the lid. Push this button again if you want to continue warming it up even after opening.
Use this one to get your rice cooking even when you're not at home. Estimate after how many hours (時)you'll be back, keep pushing the button until you see the correct hour and enjoy the smell of freshly boiled rice as you return home.
Use this one when you've changed your mind and want pasta instead of rice.
Use this one when you want your rice cooked ASAP!

The Home Shop Machinist & Machinist's Workshop Magazine's BBS > General > All in one lathe tool grinder jig project.
View Full Version : All in one lathe tool grinder jig project.
First let me thank Brian Rupnow and Loose Nut for the ideas.
I don't have a proper tool grinder so I'm going at this for my belt-disc sander.
My plan is to be able to grind 1/2" HSS stock into the most common turning tools I use for exterior work, including threading. I don't want to spend $120+ for a bar and $22+ for inserts of all different pitches.
Here's my idea. Make one of these plates out of aluminum to fit on the top of, and into the miter gauge groove, on the table. I can't get put the tool where Brian does on his top grind because of the disc part of my sander. In order to do this I thought about milling the jig to 7 deg and leave the table horizontal. This way, I can turn it 180 deg and be able to grind the top since it will be +7deg.
However....I haven't ground enough to know if the top grind position is correct...or does it need to be on the other side?
Any ideas or comments welcome!!
Your idea would probably work but I think most folks think tool grinding is harder than it really is. My mentor use to free hand grind everything from tool bits to drills to end mills, and I do to. Use you eye to get the angle right and there is nothing you can't grind.
I agree completely. I'm barely beyond newbie myself, and I still clearly remember my own confusion and concern with my ability to hand grind lathe bits. However, I quickly overcame that after only a few initial attempts that came out remarkably well. I then experimented and "researched" (read Harold's treatise on the other HSM board!) to expand my understanding of the interplay between relief, clearance, rake, and lead angles, combined with chip breakers and other modifiers. I now have a lathe that LOVES carbide, but I still use HSS quite frequently. And *none* of it is ground in a TCG or with any sort of jig.
That aluminum grinding jig looks like it will work slick as a whistle. There's no problem at all with your engineering or your desire to relieve the learners of the agony of getting the angles right on lathe tools/ Problem is it's training wheels. Its very convenience stands in the way of senses development needed to equip a home shop machinist with the skills he subconsciously employs doing every little task.
The jig could be a great aid to tool grinding but it doean't do anything for you the little protractor thingy won't do better. And it get in the way of learning the EYE and its value in producing accurate tools and angles with only occasional reference to the protractor or the optical comparator.
Kinda boils down to "control the variables or the variables will control you." Learning is in some respects learning the variables singly and in combination then putting them to work for you.
As an apprentice I ground way too much clearance in my tooling and failed to consider the importance of the last final touches with the stone. It takes practice. Now after 40 odd years (by cracky) I have a couple of drawers of tooling most of which look machine ground but I distinctly remember off hand grinding most of them on the Hammond grinder next to Column C-9 and the 12" Century grinders on the other side. That was when I was in my '30's and '40's and had the eye of an eagle and Euclid's head for angles. When I was 19 my eye was undeveloped and my powers of visualization was devoted to prurient interest. My off-hand lathe tool grinding left a lot to be desired.
Between aged 19 and 24, I worked full time in a pressure-cooker apprenticeship but it still took a year before I was up to snuff on a bench grinder; you noobs shouldn't sweat a little anguish developing the skills needed to run your shop to its potential. It's an obstacle course we all have to run.
I know how to grind a tool. No, I'm not the greatest, but my flycutter and cutoff tool work just fine. I can sharpen a drill bit and end mill on the sander and have sharpened an annular cutter with a dremel tool.
I just dont' think hand grinding is as accurate or as quick as using a jig, and being able to put this jig on and get a perfect (err very close to) 60deg v for threading would be great.
So, as long as I've got the material on the cnc mill, why not cut three more grooves to make the other edges just as close to "perfect" as the threading tool?
If you machine special angles in your fixture, those angles change as you tilt the table.
If I decide to change some angles I'll add a sine bar or use bolts to lift or lower the front or back.

Richard Hamilton, 1970, 15-color screenprint, 74 x 103 cm
In 1970, the late British Pop artist Richard Hamilton coolly recounted this chain of events in order to tease out the implications of his 15-layer silkscreen print, Kent State. [...]
He had set up a photographic camera in front of his TV set at home, and over the course of a week of evenings waited patiently for an image to suggest itself as source material for further work. The camera had already snapped a number of exposures from a variety of sports, entertainment, and current affairs programs before footage of the shootings by National Guardsmen of students at Kent State University in Ohio (during a protest against the U.S. military's Cambodian Campaign) was screened on the news on Monday, May 4. The frame Hamilton finally developed shows the top half of the body of one of the shot students prostrate on the ground, head turned towards the amateur cine-camera that originally recorded the moment.
Given the gravity of the event, Hamilton deliberated, but anyway resolved to press ahead and make use of the shot — the questionable "arty treatment" of which, he supposed, might at least serve as a lasting indictment. In the screenprint that emerged several channels of transmission (and 15 layers of ink) later, Hamilton made sure to leave the curved, distorted edges of the cathode ray display within the black surround of his photo of the screen. He also positioned the rectangular shot on the left hand side of the printed sheet to mimic the off-center screen typical of that era's TV sets. The image is thus "framed" five times over in the final print: first by the original cine-camera, second by the television, third by Hamilton's photo-camera, fourth by the implied TV on the screenprint, fifth by the printed sheet itself — plus a sixth if you include the frame that encases the print when hung on a wall.

Théodore David Eugène Maunoir (1 de junio de 1806 en Ginebra—26 de abril de 1869) fue un cirujano suizo. En 1863, por su experiencia atendiendo los heridos en guerra como cirujano, fue invitado por Henry Dunant y Gustave Moynier, que junto al general del ejército suizo Guillaume-Henri Dufour y Louis Appia, para convertirse en uno de los cinco cofundadores del Comité internacional para la ayuda a los soldados heridos, conocido también como el Comité de los Cinco, que posteriormente dio lugar en 1876 al Comité Internacional de la Cruz Roja. Murió sin embargo seis años después de la fundación del comité, así que su colaboración  apenas ejerció efecto sobre el desarrollo posterior del CICR. Dentro del comité y en la sociedad de Ginebra tuvo una estrecha amistad con el también cirujano Louis Appia.

En Ginebra hay una calle nombrada en su honor, la Rue Maunoir.

Top 7 Most Emotional Super Bowl Commercials Of All Time 0 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 0 user reviews.
They made us cry. They made us smile. They made us hug the random guy on the couch next to us. These 7 companies made their mark by playing straight to our hearts.
Over the years, many a Super Bowl commercial has used humor to get our attention. But every so often, a company goes another route and plays to our emotions. Appealing to our sense of patriotism, our love for our families or our weakness for puppies, these ads are often the ones that stick with us the longest.
So remember: Don't forget to have a box of tissues nearby during Super Bowl 50. You never know when the next tear jerking ad might come on screen and hit a tender spot.
There's something that really strikes a chord in the 2007 Super Bowl commercial. Watching a mechanical robot get fired and contemplate suicide might seem like an unlikely way to make us cry, and yet in a brief moment GM succeeded in creating a persona in the robot that all of us back home really connected to. Watch what happens when this poor robot makes one mistake at his work for GM, loses his job and hits the pavement in search of work. The message is clear – GM does not tolerate any errors, even for the cutest robots!
Ram's 2013 Super Bowl commercial played tribute to the American farmer. The ad has no video. Instead, a series of stunning still shots paints an unforgettable tapestry of the life on an American farmer while Paul Harvey's famous 1978 speech entitled "So God Made a Farmer" plays in the background. Farmers are honored as hard-working, dedicated, family-oriented men and women. The backbone of America, they are strong and tough, yet sensitive and loving.
In this sentimental Budweiser ad, we see the meaning of true friendship – and it doesn't have to be between humans to be compelling. We watched as a graceful Clydesdale finds his best bud, an adorable poppy who has lost his way one rainy evening. In doing so, he proves his loyalty to his 4-legged friend and to his owner who is desperately searching for the lost pup. Sure, Budweiser has gone down cheesy road before, but it works!
Who gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, voice to the voiceless and healing to the sick? No – this isn't a sermon at Sunday school. It's a 2014 Microsoft Super Bowl commercial reminding us of the incredible power and advancements of technology.
As viewers across the States tuned into the biggest television event of the year, Jeep caught our attention with this patriotic tribute to American soldiers. Narrated by Oprah Winfrey, the 2-minute commercial focuses on the importance of family, while creating a sense of suspense and anticipation. As the crowds were glued to their TVs on Super Bowl Sunday, wondering if the Ravens would beat the 49ers, the commercial forced us to take pause and remember all the families across the country waiting for far more significant news about when (and if) they're beloved soldier would come home.
Having a powerful, emotional ad is not always a recipe for success. Last year, Nationwide received considerable backlash for this ad, where they killed an innocent child before our very eyes. And we were just trying to watch a football game. The ad sent mothers and fathers alike grasping for the tissue box.

DofE Award
You may of heard of the DofE (Duke of Edinburgh) Award, but don't know what it is or whether it's for you. Well, it's for everyone who likes a challenge. Their mission is simple - 'to inspire, guide and support young people in their self-development, and recognise their achievements'.
To put it another way, they help you succeed. With the same sense of adventure that drew you to the Air Cadets in the first place, the DofE takes you through a programme of activities that will leave you a more confident, motivated and capable person.
We're proud to be the DofE Award's largest participant.
If you're 14 or over, then you can begin - just ask the instructors in your squadron and they'll help you get started. For more information now on everything DofE, follow any of the links on this page to visit their official website.
There are three levels which, when successfully completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold DofE Award. And it's never too late to get in on the action - depending on your age you may be able to jump straight in at Silver or Gold level!
There are four sections at Bronze and Silver level and five at Gold:
Volunteering - Get involved providing services to individuals or the community and make a difference to other people's lives
Physical - Get active and improve your skills and fitness in sport, dance or other physical activities - it's your choice
Skills - Find new interests and get new talents (or perfect existing ones), with increased practical and social skills
Expedition - Get outdoors and plan, train for and complete an adventurous journey in the UK or abroad - an unbeatable experience
Residential - Only at Gold level. Getting to the Gold level is a big deal and this last stage could see you going to another country, sharing tasks and activities with people you've never met. It'll test your mettle, and set you up for what life throws at you in the future
Go for Gold!
It's not a walk in the park. You'll get your DofE Award through persistence and commitment - but as an Air Cadet you'll already know all about that. Over time you'll develop personally and welcome each new challenge. At the end of it all you'll have the world's leading achievement award for young people under your belt, recognised by employers and universities alike.

I thought I'd better review my goals for 2015. In hindsight, my goals really weren't that great! However, this has helped with creating my goals for 2016, which I will post sometime next week.
I didn't get around to this, but should be registering for my next subject early January, which I am very excited about!
Yay! I did this! And I'm at 30/50 (75) supervised hours!
3. Attend at least 1 conference in 2015.
I did attend the MultiLit 20th Anniversary Conference, which was really great me inspiring.
4. Read and review 1 article every two months.
5. Read an article or book about a different application of ABA, and write a review and summary.
My goodness, these goals are not very clear! Nonetheless, I did post a few of these in 2015, including one recently.
6. Make comments in ABA chats and groups on social media at least twice in 2015.
Again, not very specific, but I did participate earlier in the year. I'll make a note of chats coming up for 2016.
Overall, I think I have learned a lot this year. Som unexpected changes, have made me re-imagine the future, but ultimately, it will be better for me, and I can focus all of my energy and attention for work, into GSBS.
I'm very thankful to have such wonderfully supportive people around me, but professionally, and personally, who help me keep GSBS going. I am sure 2016 will be a very exciting year!


Jeremy Piven won his third Emmy in 2008 for his supporting role as Hollywood agent Ari Gold in the HBO series Entourage. Piven grew up in Evanston, Illinois in a theater family: his parents, Byrne and Joyce Piven, began Chicago's Piven Theatre Workshop in the 1970s. Piven studied acting in Illinois and New York and began getting work in Hollywood in the 1980s. Steadily employed on stage and screen ever since, until his gig on Entourage made him a TV star in 2004 Piven was known to most as "that guy who's in all those John Cusack movies." Piven and Cusack are childhood friends who have appeared in several movies together — coincidentally, according to Piven. They include Say Anything (1989), The Grifters (1990), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) and Runaway Jury (2003). Despite the demands of series television with Entourage, Piven stays busy on the big screen and on stage, specializing in loud, gabby types. His films include Twenty Bucks (1993, with Brendan Fraser), Old School (2003, starring Will Ferrell) and Smokin' Aces (2006, starring Ryan Reynolds).
