Working closely with Trafford Council via our long standing framework, we provided full design and construction phase monitoring for the £800K 4 classroom extension and new nursery facility at Partington Primary School. This was one of several similar projects undertaken for Trafford between 2008 and 2011, with extension schemes also being successfully completed at Lim Tree primary School, Moorlands Junior School, Broadheath Primary School, Wellfield Junior School, Flixton Infants School, St Hilda's Primary School, Manor High School, Moss Park Junior & Infants School, Victoria Park Primary School and The Firs Primary School.
For all projects we provided full duties, with the mechanical and electrical services and infrastructure being upgraded and adapted to cater for the new extensions and in some cases the provision of modular classrooms.

Govt school painted to resemble train to attract students
In a bid to check migration of children to private schools, authorities of a government school in a remote village of Mysuru has painted it to look like a train to attract students.
The school is located in Nanjangud Taluk. "Government schools are shutting down these days because children are going to private schools. The same was happening with our school too. This made us think why not we paint the school to make it look differently," Block Education Officer of the school M Narayana told PTI.
The school, which has classes from one to seven, had 50 students while a few others were reportedly waiting in the wings to join some private schools. The education department stumbled upon this idea when it faced the challenge of possible school dropouts and parents admitting children to private schools, school authorities said.
The officer said the four-five teachers in the school decided to paint the school wall to resemble a train. "After the painting, not only did children give up their plans to go to private schools but some others came back from nearby private schools," the officer said.
Earlier, there were 50 students but today their number has increased to 55, he added. Villagers too contributed their mite by laying the foundation for a school compound wall. Basava Naik, the school headmaster, said "One of our teachers got a message about the school-train somewhere in Rajasthan, which prompted him to plan a similar thing here. We are happy that children are showing interest in our school."

All of these things are dependent upon location. You don't want to live over an hour away from where you work if it will put a strain on your health and family life. You can also think of things like gas mileage, and precious time. Every area has its own desirable features like access to entertainment, easy access to grocery stores, parks, recreational activities, and more. The closer to a more prominent city that you live, the more accessible these things you want will be. Your lifestyle will be a factor in where you choose to live in Florida.
You don't want to sit in tons of traffic each day commuting to and from work. You want to cut down your commute time as much as possible while living in a desirable area. You may also want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and settle down in the suburbs. In choosing a location to buy your Florida home, you'll need to find that balance between distance and where you want to be. It's important to keep an open mind in choosing your location because so many factors come into play in the decision.
Have you never pictured yourself living in the city? Maybe if you spend some time there, you could find that you like it! All you need to do is spend a night out eating dinner out or walking around one afternoon in a new place. Experiencing a location can change your perspective on it for better or worse.
When you finally do choose a location, you'll find that it comes down to the neighborhood you're in and the type of community that the property has around it. Some regions are close-knit, offering a lot of activities and a feeling of community. Other areas have neighborhoods where people keep to themselves. It all depends on what you're looking for.
Once you decide where to search for a Florida home, the real fun starts. Now, you get to hone in and find the property of your dreams!
Looking to list your Florida luxury home? Ultimately, it helps to plan ahead, regardless of whether you intend to sell a luxury residence in Orlando, Tampa Bay or any other Sunshine State city or town.
With a plan in place, you'll be better equipped than ever before to maximize the value of your Florida luxury residence. Plus, if you allocate the necessary time and resources to learn about the Sunshine State luxury housing market, you can increase the likelihood of enjoying a fast, successful home selling experience.
Although your Florida luxury home may have lost some of its luster over the years, it is never too late to upgrade your residence. In fact, a diligent home seller can perform myriad home exterior and interior improvements to transform an ordinary Florida luxury house into an unforgettable one.
Performing a home inspection generally is a good idea, particularly for a Florida luxury home seller who wants to achieve the best-possible results. This inspection will enable you to uncover structural problems with your Florida luxury house and immediately correct these issues.
It may be beneficial to conduct a home appraisal as well. An appraisal will allow you to receive a property valuation that you can use to establish a competitive price for your Florida luxury home.
The time it takes to sell a luxury residence that is just minutes from Disney World may vary from the time it takes to sell a luxury residence in South Beach. Fortunately, if you establish a home selling timeline, you can determine which steps to take to quickly and effortlessly sell your Florida luxury residence.
Oftentimes, an individual's home selling timeline depends on his or her goals. For example, if you want to sell your Fort Lauderdale luxury residence as quickly as possible, you probably will need to set an aggressive initial asking price. Or, if you can afford to be patient, you may want to wait for the right offer to come your way to optimize the value of your Sunshine State luxury house.
Are you looking to move from a luxury house in St. Augustine to a similar residence in Lake Worth? Conversely, do you want to sell your Florida luxury residence and move into a smaller house? Think about your future plans, and you can determine the best way to streamline the Florida luxury home selling process.
Lastly, if you need help planning ahead for the Florida luxury home selling journey, you may want to collaborate with a real estate agent. This housing market professional can teach you the ins and outs of the Florida luxury real estate sector. Then, a real estate agent will make it easy for you to achieve your desired results in no time at all.
1. You are looking to downgrade.
If your luxury home in Miami, St. Augustine or elsewhere in Florida has become too big for you, there is no need to stress. In fact, there are dozens of outstanding houses available across the Sunshine State, ensuring you can sell your current residence and move into a smaller home at your convenience.
As you look to sell your Florida luxury residence and relocate to a smaller house, you may want to put together a property selling plan. This strategy will help you map out your Florida luxury home selling goals and determine where you want to live going forward. As a result, you can use a house selling strategy to streamline the Florida luxury home selling process.
If you live far away from family members and friends scattered across the Sunshine State, you can always sell your luxury residence and move closer to these loved ones. That way, you can enjoy quick, easy access to family members and friends.
As you prepare to list your Florida luxury home so you can live near loved ones, you may want to consider the current state of the local luxury housing sector too. For example, the luxury homes in Miami may have higher initial asking prices in comparison to similar residences in Jacksonville. And if you fail to account for the current state of the local luxury housing market, you risk pricing your Sunshine State luxury home too high or too low.
3. Your current luxury house no longer suits your lifestyle.
If you find your luxury home in Orlando, Tampa Bay or any other Florida city or town no longer suits your lifestyle, now may be the perfect time for a change. Lucky for you, the Sunshine State luxury real estate market offers many opportunities for sellers. And if you list your Florida luxury residence and promote it to the right groups of potential buyers, you could reap the benefits of a quick, profitable home selling experience.
Of course, if you decide to list your Florida luxury home, you may want to hire a real estate agent. Because if you have a real estate agent at your side, you can get the help you need to navigate the Sunshine State luxury house selling journey.

Employ a real estate agent today, and you can receive comprehensive support as you navigate the Florida luxury house selling journey.
1. You can find a house that you can enjoy for years to come.
Florida luxury residences come in a variety of styles and sizes. Therefore, you should have no trouble discovering a Sunshine State luxury house that can serve you well both now and in the future.
If you decide to search for a Florida luxury home, it often helps to create a list of house must-haves. For example, if you require a luxury house that is close to your Miami office, you may want to hone your home search accordingly.
In addition, it may be beneficial to focus on luxury residences in your preferred Florida cities and towns. This will allow you to accelerate your quest to find your ideal Sunshine State luxury house.
2. You can buy a residence that provides convenient access to Florida's top attractions.
The Florida luxury housing market offers many opportunities for buyers. If you enter the Sunshine State luxury housing sector, you can pursue a home that provides quick, easy access to some of the state's top attractions.
For instance, if you've always wanted to own a luxury home close to Disney World, you can pursue a Florida luxury residence in Orlando. Or, if you would like to live near the historic landmarks in St. Augustine, you can search for a luxury house in the city itself.
3. You can own a house in a warm-weather state.
On average, temperatures in Florida range between 60°F and 80°F throughout the year. Thus, Florida luxury homeowners can reap the benefits of warm weather month after month.
For those who pursue a Florida luxury home, it is important to account for the state's above-average temperatures too. As such, you may want to consider Sunshine State luxury residences that offer high-quality air conditioning systems. It also may be helpful to pursue a Florida luxury house that has its own swimming pool.

Sheila Willis and Richard Engling will perform in "Anna In the Afterlife" by Engling this spring at the Greenhouse Theater in Chicago.
Elmhurst native Richard Engling's play "Anna in the Afterlife" will debut April 22 and run through May 24 at the Greenhouse Theater in Chicago.
ELMHURST – Friendship is a secret language shared by two individuals who can communicate only through honesty and reverence. It envelopes a type of love that stands the test of time and never finds fault in the desire for personal growth.
For Richard Engling, that theme is the foundation of his play "Anna in the Afterlife," a warranted tribute to his friendship with Fern Chertkow based on the fictional characters of his first novel, "Visions of Anna."
He was inspired to write the novel soon after Chertkow took her own life in October 1988. The play followed several years later, as a separate testament.
In the preface of his novel, Engling openly discusses the evolution of their 12-year friendship, which began in a fiction-writing seminar in graduate school.
"That was a really formative time in our life because we were trying to become novelists," Engling said, noting their bond shaped their identities.
Engling described Chertkow as a deep listener who asked many questions. He wrote, "She wanted to know your deepest secrets, and you felt grateful to be so known, and to know her in return."
He also revealed knowing about Chertkow's "bouts with depression" and that she sought help to deal with them.
"You always wonder what happened – if something could have been done," he said, still mystified by the end result.
With "Anna in the Afterlife," Engling embodies the male lead role Matthew, an unlikely move for most playwrights.
"It's odd that Richard wrote it and is also playing himself in the play. It's a really unique opportunity to know the truth," said Sheila Willis, who plays Engling's counterpart Anna, Matthew's love interest.
Engling said playing the dual role of playwright and actor is an exploration.
Willis added typically, playwrights have a strong grip around their scripts and disallow for any changes the directors and the casts may have, but Engling left his trust in their hands.
Like Chertkow, Willis asked Engling many questions to prepare for her role. She began to nitpick characteristics Chertkow possessed, like learning what type of music she listened to and knowing what she valued most in life.
Director Susan Padveen said Willis's "worldly weariness" and "innocence" brought life to Anna's role. A role, Engling added, Wilis performed with a lot of heart.
One of the aspects Willis particularly enjoys about her role is the age-defining moments she shares with Engling's character, Matthew.
In less than a page, Willis said, she jumps from age 25 to 36. The 11-year span peeks into the beginning of their friendship in graduate school to later in their lives when they occasionally see each other, a measurement of the maturity in their relationship.
Engling relies on Padveen to set the stage of the afterlife, an unknown world that knows no rules or holds no boundaries. Padveen is committed to creating this "tech-heavy" performance, a world that is dependent on light, sound, projections and music all for the sake of this message: What are the things that make life worthwhile?
With friends, Engling said, the time is worth the investment. For friendship means often searching for new ways to reconnect but always looking back.

Songs of the Week: Pop the Vote — Listening to November 6 and the Morning After
by Alex Pappademas
Election night afternoon. Focusing on anything else is futile, but I try anyway. I play half of the first Tom Tom Club album in my office; when my nerves demand something stronger I start banging sense-annhilatingly well-constructed radio singles instead. For the last few weeks I've been looping "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" like a Consumer Reports lab tech trying to wear out a tire, so I do that again, and then I play fun.'s "Some Nights" (Freddie Mercury ghost-riding an REO Speedwagon over Bow Wow Wow Burundi-beats) and then I play Ke$ha's "Die Young," which is basically a weaponized "Teenage Dream" with bubblegum-L'Trimm rap verses as value-add, i.e., it's amazing, maybe the pinnacle of a really good year for the-club-is-a-battlefield Hunger Games pop songs.
Around 5 p.m. music writer Maura Johnston links to an election-night Spotify playlist of Van Halen and solo David Lee Roth and I skip around in that for a while. "Dance the Night Away" feels like a jinx — too celebratory, too soon — but Roth's Lovin' Spoonful cover "Coconut Grove" makes for weirdly soothing background noise as I refresh and refresh and refresh the red-and-blue map on HuffPo. Diamond Dave's desire to be alone with his lady on a sand dune is relevant to my interests.
I'm still getting used to experiencing events like this on Pacific time. Obama has it in the bag before I have time to pour the stress-cocktail I've been looking forward to all day. I toggle back and forth between ebullient MSNBC, Karl Rove spin-cycling through the first three Kübler-Ross stages on Fox News, and CNN.com's live feed from Obama headquarters in Chicago, where somebody named DJ Mel, from Austin, Texas, is spinning familiar campaign-approved jams. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield, on Twitter: "'Groove Me' into 'Mr. Big Stuff' — this is the Paul's Boutique of presidential-acceptance-speech soundtracks."
Nearly everybody on my feed not joking about Nate Silver's 10,000 percent chance of getting super-laid tonight spends the run-up to the speech throwing out suggested walk-on songs for BHO — "Back in Black," Future's "You Deserve It," Rick Ross's "King of Diamonds," that "Hold Me Back" remix with Lil Wayne on it, Lightning Bolt's "Crown of Storms." Instead we get the hits — Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" as fanfare and then Springsteen's "We Take Care of Our Own" for the confetti-gun portion of the evening. "Signed," the first Stevie Wonder single produced by Stevie himself, has been an Obama-event staple since the 2008 campaign; it was supposedly David Axelrod's custom ringtone when Barry called. It still chokes me up in this context, and even though Bruce is generally a whistle I can't hear and always has been, so does the Springsteen.
So Bruce wins this election year on same-as-the-old-boss momentum, but only because there wasn't much competition. Jeezy, Mariah Carey, and Sufjan Stevens all checked in with late-breaking downloads addressed to their respective constituencies. Ry Cooder and Randy Newman drolly trolled right-wingers with satire-as-usual. Kanye pointed out that "Mitt Romney don't pay no tax" on "To the World." The two best songs mentioning a Republican politician by name were Killer Mike's merciless "Reagan" and Titus Andronicus's "Tried to Quit Smoking," which is about the futility of writing fuck-Reagan songs in the 21st century. Entertainers on the other side of the spectrum kind of sat this one out, too, Hank Williams Jr.'s encyclopedically pissed-off "Take Back Our Country" (hot darts for Obama and the EPA and also "Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Bing!) and Kid Rock's shartbeat-of-America base-energizer "Born Free" notwithstanding.
Even if you cast the net wider, reading chart pop like "Die Young" and "We Are Young" and "Born to Die" and "We Found Love" as odes to terror-sex on the eve of economic no-future and "Gangnam Style" as a dis song aimed at our 1 percent as well as South Korea's, that's barely enough for an ELECTION 2012 JAMS mixtape, although I guess you could pad it out with Silversun Pickups's "Panic Switch" and something from that iPod Paul Ryan couldn't stop talking about — AC/DC, maybe, or small-government crusaders Rage Against the Machine. Has any candidate ever gotten less mileage out of liking cool music than Ryan did? At least he dared to suggest that the Republicans need not be the Party of Nugent forever.
In the morning, dutifully, I put on KCRW for a warm buzz of post-election NPR and leave it on when I go take the kid to school. When I get home, "Morning Edition"'s given way to "Morning Becomes Eclectic," and for some reason Jason Bentley's playing "Strange Days" by The Doors. There's a great chapter in Greil Marcus's book The Doors about "Strange Days" and the way it fails to live up to the unearthly promise of its first few bars — the part where it sounds like Ray Manzarek is beaming an inside-out version of the Twilight Zone theme into space. I haven't listened to this song on purpose in years; for a second the Leslie effect on Morrison's vocal sounds like such a superfluous touch I'm convinced I'm listening to a remix. Morrison sounds like a drunk man moaning from a carousel.
"Strange Days" turns out to be part of an oddly defeatist rock block that also includes the White Stripes' "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" and the Damned's "I Just Can't Be Happy Today" ("The radio's on ice / The telly's been banned.") It's like Bentley had a really killer "Morning After Obama Loses" show all planned out and didn't want it to go to waste.
My one musical memory of 2004 involves Iron & Wine's cover of the Flaming Lips' "Waiting for a Superman" — it came up on shuffle as I walked to the subway on the first morning of Bush's second term, and I let it play, just to really bite down on the toothache. And in 2008 all I wanted to hear was "My President Is Black," Young Jeezy's dirty-bird dance in the end zone of history, preferably loud enough to crowd out all doubt. Sometimes you find your election-year jam, sometimes it finds you. In the absence of a better option, I cue up "Some Nights" again. It's a ludicrously triumphant song whose underlying message is Now what?, and every single time I play it, it simultaneously fills me with excitement and makes me feel ashamed of how easily manipulated I am. I feel like a mark; I sing along anyway.

This Wall Street Exec Made It Her Life's Mission to Help Women Invest
Sallie Krawcheck launched the financial health company Ellevest to address specific factors that could help women invest more. Here, she shares her six money tips for moms.
By Cassie Shortsleeve
Sallie Krawcheck, CEO and co-founder of Ellevest, a financial health company built by and for women, has made it her life's mission to get more money in the hands of women. After serving at the helm of big financial firms like Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, and Citi Private Bank, she noticed a big gap. "The rest of the investing industry is built by men—and it's done a better job for men than for women and has had higher client satisfaction for men than for women."
Ellevest, on the other hand, is built by women and helps women invest by meeting them where they are and taking into consideration often-overlooked factors like pay gaps and average lifespans (women generally live longer).
As a working mom, Krawcheck has a deep understanding of the world of investing and how your financial literacy has a ripple effect for a generation's worth of women to come. Whether you're already in charge of your investments, have just started tossing money into a 401(k), or are not quite sure where to start, here is Krawcheck's financial advice for women—and her daughter.
1. Strategically Pay Down Debt
When it comes to finances, debt can be hugely stressful. Krawcheck suggests getting things in order before arbitrarily paying things down. What to start with: debt with the highest interest rates. "That is the biggest subtractor of wealth and financial well-being that's out there," she says. Specifically, start paying off any debt you have with an interest rate above 7 percent first, leaving debt with interest rates below 4 percent to be paid after, she suggests.
Also important: Ask questions about bills and loans and fees. Many of today's landlords have more of a flexible understanding and utility companies have been known to lower bills for customers in need. It doesn't hurt to make a phone call to see if a company will, for example, lower an interest rate, she says. "The worst thing that happens is you lose 30 minutes. The best thing that happens—and we hear about it more and more—is you get a reduction because you've always paid on time."
2. Split Up Your Paychecks
Do you know where your take-home pay is going? While it's easy to lose track, Krawcheck suggests breaking up your paycheck into three categories: needs, fun, and money for the future. She suggests 50 percent of your paycheck goes to "needs" (rent, gas, clothes for the kids), 30 percent toward "fun" (what brings you happiness?), and 20 percent toward a "future you" (investing, for example). Setting aside money into these three buckets helps form a habit of saving—something that contributes to both behavior change and wealth.

3. Expose Inequities in Money
Money is that final taboo for women, says Krawcheck. "We talk about the gender pay gap. It's 82 cents to a man's dollar. But the gender wealth gap is 32 cents to a man's dollar." Knowing that this gap exists and showing your children that it exists matters. "There are inequities out there and to hide that from your children or pretend like it's not there can be a real disservice," she says. For example, she's talked about certain experiences like being fired throughout her career with her children, explaining the gender differences and biases that exist so that they can be properly prepared.
4. Manage Your Own Cash
One of the biggest hopes Krawcheck has for a future generation of women? That they learn to manage their own wealth. "There are certain things that lead to a well-lived life," she says. "You are healthy. You're emotionally healthy. You are physically healthy. You are spiritually healthy. We need to add financial health to that list. If you don't have that, the other stuff just doesn't matter as much." One small step you can take: Make sure you're involved in both managing your family's budget and investing. "Wealth for women needs to last longer," she says. Women tend to live longer than men and, by some counts, 80 percent of women die single.
It's important to manage money to show your daughter that she can do this, too, she says. "If your daughters see you as proactive, positive, and engaged with money, then that becomes very natural to them."
Financial independence will also help the next generation of women, well, be more independent. "We do not want our daughters to be caught in a job they hate because they don't have the money to quit or caught in a relationship that doesn't work because they don't have the money to divorce," says Krawcheck. "And that's why the gender wealth gap matters. It's not just about money. It's about the life that we each can live."

5. Invest Holistically
You don't just invest for more money—you invest for financial goals, says Krawcheck. But in order to understand how and where to invest, you have to have an accurate idea of both where you are starting and where you want to be. For example, you might want to have $50,000 for a down payment in five years but you might also be in the midst of starting a business. Knowing all of the factors that go into your finances and what your goals are can help you know how much to invest and when and where to do it.
6. Find Your Mission
Krawcheck remembers an early day with Ellevest when she was questioning her current environment with her startup comparing it to what she was doing (working as an executive at Citi). One day, her daughter said to her: "This is so much better because you are going to make a real impact on women in their lives," she remembers. "It just floored me that she had picked that up and was communicating it back to me. It was probably one of my most important moments as a mother."
What gives your life richness? What do you want to work toward? The answers to those questions are, of course, different for everyone, but finding them can help you hone in on values that matter to you as well as what you want to work toward—key factors in helping both business and happiness thrive.


This study is an analysis of the pedagogic teaching style of a leading Bible teacher and scholar: Nehama Leibowitz. Recognized as being one of Israel's best Bible teachers, she has presented a new dimension to Bible study through her teachings and publications. Some of the most important elements contributing to her influence according to this research are: the pedagogical methodology that she used both inside and outside her classes, her contribution to Jewish education in the context of other changes in education, and finally her influence on some her former students as well as the community of Montreal.

Before Rosa Parks there was Ellen Garrison Jackson
by Herb Boyd January 30, 2020 March 11, 2022
In her opinion piece in the New York Times on the film "Little Women," Kaitlyn Greenidge evoked Ellen Garrison Jackson, a Black girl coming of age in Concord, Mass., whom she contrasted with the white girls in "Little Women." She pointed out that like Louisa May Alcott, the author of the novel on which the film is based, Ellen was the product of a family of socially committed activists.
Ellen would join several other activists in 1866 in the filing of petitions against discrimination in public transportation nearly a century before Rosa Parks and the emergence of the Montgomery Improvement Association. Of course, all of this was new to me and I began to inquire into her life and contributions, which was well-documented in the archives and newspapers in Concord.
Born Ellen Garrison in 1823 in Concord, her father, Jack Garrison, escaped slavery in New Jersey. Her mother, Susan Robbins Garrison, was the daughter of Caesar Robbins, a Revolutionary War veteran. He was a skilled farmer and laborer.
Ellen attended Concord's public schools, and, like her siblings, was a bright and intelligent student. She grew up amid a progressively active household where her parents often hosted a number of notable abolitionists. Among the visitors were Angelina and Sarah Grimke, and her mother and the sisters founded the Ladies' Antislavery Society of Concord. In 1838, Ellen and her mother's name were listed among 200 other Concord women on a petition protesting the government's treatment of the Cherokee.
Three years earlier, Ellen, at 12, as the city prepared for its bicentennial celebration, told her teacher that her mother had forbidden her to march in the procession. As the only Black child in her school, Ellen had been treated badly and ruled out of previous parades. But eventually both were persuaded to march in the procession, in which Ellen held the hand of a white classmate.
Shortly after her mother's death in the 1840s, Ellen moved to Boston and almost immediately became a member of the African Baptist Church where her uncle Obed Robbins was among the founders. Along with her church commitments she began teaching. She and several other activists launched a celebration of the community's abolitionists and began arousing the populace in signing petitions against discrimination in the public transportation and the school system.
In 1857, she married John Jackson, a free Black farmer from Delaware, but within a few years he died, and she moved to Newport, Rhode Island where she was placed in charge of a small private school. After the Civil War, she moved to Maryland to teach the recently emancipated, though she was often met with hostility and rebuke. Soon, she was as active here as she was in the North, often joining other members of her community in pushing for more civil and human rights.
On May 5, 1866 in a Baltimore train station after being forcibly removed, Ellen, along with another woman, contacted the local paper and reported the incident. This was done after she returned to the station and gathered more witnesses. Many of her friends and associates believed her situation would be the first test case of the month-old Civil Rights Act, but in July a Maryland grand jury dismissed her suit against the railroad. Even so, it would be among the many incidents to challenge the bulwark of a Jim Crow system that was to become even more intransigent.
By 1877, Jim Crow laws were fully in effect, following the Tilden-Hayes debacle. Faced with increasing reaction from nightriders and hostile managers of southern cities, many African Americans heeded the call to venture west, and Ellen quickly joined what became the "Exodusters" seeking better opportunities in places like Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. Once settled in Barton, Kansas, she married a landowner named Harry Clark from South Carolina. Throughout the 1880s, she devoted much of her time to civic organizations and teaching, a career that earned her great praise from the city leaders.
Not much is known about Ellen near the end of her life, but it was noted that she owned her land and continued to inspire students at the local colored school. According to the collection of family history at the Robbins House in Concord, Ellen died in the 1890s, and other details of her active life and legacy can be found at this historic landmark.
A tweet from Martha Hazard-Small emphasized this research suggestion, noting the significance of Ellen's forebears as well as the important role African Americans have played in the history of New England, the South and out west.

Previous Next 6 of 12 Intertrigo
Intertrigo (in-tur-TRY-go) is inflammation caused by skin-to-skin friction, most often in warm, moist areas of the body, such as the groin, between folds of skin on the abdomen, under the breasts, under the arms or between toes. The affected skin may be sensitive or painful, and severe cases can result in oozing sores, cracked skin or bleeding.
Intertrigo usually clears up if you find a way to keep the affected areas as clean and dry as possible. Try wearing loosefitting clothing and using powder to reduce skin-to-skin friction in affected areas. Weight loss may be helpful as well.
Sometimes, a bacterial or fungal infection can develop at the site of your intertrigo. If this happens, you may need a medication to heal your skin.

Manitowoc Vision 2022: Community leaders step up to the plate | Mary Maurer
Mary Maurer
For USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin
Vision 2022 is pleased to share that significant progress is being made toward the six strategic goals identified from the community study and summit conducted earlier in the year. More than 2,500 community respondents weighed in on establishing the goals, which have been identified as opportunities to move Manitowoc County forward.
More than 150 community residents and representatives from collaborating business, academic, civic, service and government agencies participated in the first round of Work Group meetings, which were led by community leaders who stepped up to lead the process.
OTHER NEWS: Two Rivers' Judy Goodchild is driven by love of community
OTHER NEWS: Wisconsin victims and survivors of the sinking of the Titanic ranged from doctors to kids
"We are extremely pleased with interest from the community and the great idea generation that has been going on within the teams," said Dean Halverson, CEO of Leede Research and a Vision 2022 leader.
"We're excited to have influential community leaders involved who will do a great job in keeping the momentum going and arrive at action plans before the start of summer," he continued.
These work groups support the mission of Vision 22, which is defined as creating a movement, over a five-year period, to drive Manitowoc County toward energized planning, action and achievement, resulting in community growth, health and prosperity.
The six Work Groups and their leaders are as follow:
Changing the Conversation, led by Kenlyn Gretz and Bill Kiel Jr, which is focused on ways to ignite consistently positive discussion about our community.
Young Worker Retention and Attraction, led by Stefanie Lighthall and Braden Woods, focusing on talent attraction and retention of young workers by creating a forward-thinking, appealing community.
Regional Collaboration, led by Mark Maurer and Tom Detienne, which is focusing on partnership and regional collaboration focused on economic vitality.
Downtowns and Waterways, led by Mary Maurer and Dean Halverson, which is dedicated to optimizing our amazing downtowns, lakefront and rivers throughout our community. Additional community leadership is being sought for this group and any interested parties are encouraged to sign up at v22mc.org.
Healthier Community, led by Annie Short and Mary Halada, will focus energy on improving the overall health of our community.
The Vision and Brand Work Group will be established after the other work groups have determined their overall five-year action plans. The goal will be to work collectively with county-wide representatives to arrive at an overall vision and energizing, creative brand identity.
Within the next couple of weeks, all Work Groups will gather again for another round of meetings to continue working on identification of mission and vision statements.
For those interested in learning more about V22 or participating on a Work Group, go to v22mc.org. The robust website contains videos of all first Work Group meetings, resources and an easy way for anyone to be a part of Vision 22.
Mary Maurer is vice president of community engagement at Holy Family Memorial.

Q: Translate every predicate expression in plain English, use number theory conects whenever possible. Prove or disprove the statements.
So far I've translated the A , B, C to plain English as I understand it but I believe there are mistakes.
A)
There exists a value a0 for the set of natural numbers where there exists a value d for the set of natural numbers ( in which d is greater than 0 and for all/each value k which belongs to a set of natural numbers for all/each value m which belongs to a set of natural numbers in which value m is true that in which a0 + value k times value j implies that value m is equal to 1 or value m is equal to value a0 + value k times d.
B)
For all / for each value p which belongs to a set of natural numbers there exists value a which belongs to a set of natural numbers in which P is Prime and not 2 such that value p implies that value a is not equal to 1 and a with the power of value p minus 1 divided by 2 is equivalent to 1 mod of value p.
C)
For all/for each value k which belongs to the set of natural numbers, in which k is greater or equal to 2 implies that for all values n which belong to a set of natural numbers that for all / for each value j which belongs to a set of natural numbers in which value j is less than value k it implies that for all/for each values m which belongs to a set of natural numbers in which 1 is less than value m or value m is less than value k which implies that not value m such that value n plus value j.
Maybe there is also a way to prove or disprove A, B and C statements?

A:
A) There exist natural numbers $a_0$ and $d$ such that if each pair of natural numbers $k$ and $m$ is such that $m$ divides $a_0+kd,$ where $d$ is positive, then $m$ equals either $1$ or $a_0+kd.$
B) For each natural $p,$ there exists a natural $a$ such that if $2$ does not divide prime $p$ then $a^{\frac{p-1}2}$ is congruent modulo $p$ to, but $a$ does not equal, $1.$
Now try re-translating (C), using the ideas from my above translations.

How would you like to have a really intelligent, honest and well educated president? How about a Harvard graduate? Well, would you believe that Mexico has a 12 consecutive year run of Harvard alumni presidents? They have had a dramatic effect on the Mexican economy in general and real estate values specifically.
Prior to the new millennium, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) or its predecessor revolutionary parties, had held power for over 70 years in Mexico and was a member of Socialist International. Thanks to the PRI philosophies toward nationalization, expropriation, authoritarianism, and state control of the economy, Mexico held a Third World status for 80 years. With those philosophies, Mexico was probably not the best place for foreigners to invest in real estate, or for that matter, anything else.
The situation in Mexico changed dramatically in 2000 when Vicente Fox of the National Action Party (PAN) first took over power for a six year presidential term lasting until 2006. Prior to his presidency, Fox had earned a Top Management Skills degree from the Business School of Harvard University and had then worked his way up to the presidency of Coca Cola Mexico and head of all Coca Cola Latin America. He was one of the few Mexican presidents to avoid a major economic upheaval during office, whereas previously, the Mexicans were accustomed to devastating peso devaluations. During the ten years that we've lived in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the peso has held firm at about 10.8 pesos per US dollar.
Fox's term expired in 2006, when his successor, Felipe Calderon, also with the PAN party, won a very close election. Calderon holds a Master of Public Administration degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and will serve as President of Mexico until 2012. He supports balanced fiscal trade, flat taxes, lower taxes, and free trade. His motto is to Drive Mexico Into the Future which represents privatization, liberalization, political freedom, and market control of the economy.
These two Harvard graduates have taken Mexico from a Third World Country to a Newly Industrialized Country (NIC) in a very short period of time and are continuing to advance the economy. As an NIC, Mexico has joined the ranks with countries such as China, India, Brazil, Turkey, etc. en route to becoming First World Industrialized Countries. Recently, Mexico has changed from being a beneficiary to a full contributor to the United Nations Development Program. The Mexican Bolsa, or stock market, has more than tripled during the ten years that we've lived in Vallarta. The PRI party, still holds local power in the poorest states of Mexico; those where the inhabitants have the least education and are still waiting for subsidies from the government. However, the state of Jalisco where the capital is Guadalajara and the second largest city is Puerto Vallarta, is one of the many states where the local PAN party is in power. This change in power has been quite remarkable and evident in Vallarta during the last seven years.
During the past seven years, the Mexican government has spent billions of dollars improving and upgrading the infrastructures throughout the resort destinations. Puerto Vallarta has new water treatment facilities, power distribution systems, hospitals, university, upgraded airport, maritime terminal, highway system, etc. and is being prepared for the next five years of growth.
We have owned property here in Vallarta, located in the foot hills of the Sierra Madres overlooking Banderas Bay on the Pacific Ocean, for 24 years and have made Paradise our permanent residence for the past ten years. During the first 15 years, there were virtually no changes made here and the property values reflected it. However, during the years that PAN has been in power, the changes have been obvious and dramatic. Our villa has tripled in value and is expected to double again in the next five years as the baby boomers discover Paradise.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the once sleepy little Mexican fishing village located in the foothills of the Sierra Madres on Banderas Bay along the Mexican Riviera is no longer sleepy or little. The population has literally exploded since the filming of 'The Night of the Iguana' in 1963. Vallarta has grown from 2,000 inhabitants prior to 1963 to the current figure of 350,000 inhabitants in 2007.
Climate--Located on the same latitude as Hawaii, the seven month 'high season' of November through May has an average daily temperature of 73*F with virtually no chance of rain.
Scenery--Vallarta, located in the foothills of the Sierra Madres on the Banderas Bay, one of the largest and most beautiful bays in the world, is in the center of the Mexican Riviera on the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful beaches, rocky cliffs, mountain sides overlooking the bay, tropical flowers and wildlife, and all the sights that one would expect to find in Paradise.
Safe--With tourism being the life blood of the economy, North Americans are 'off limits' regarding any sort of criminal activity. Since guns are strictly prohibited in Mexico, burglaries, robberies, etc., are virtually unheard of. The primary objective of most all of the young generation of natives is to assure all North Americans a pleasant and safe visit to Paradise so that they'll return soon and often. Fear of a terrorist attack in Vallarta? Forget it!
Friendliness--In 2001, a readers poll taken by Conde Nast magazine listed Vallarta as the friendliest resort destination in the world. The locals treat North Americans with dignity, respect, and as friends, family, and almost as royalty.
Clean Food and Water--The explosive population growth has caused a complete revamping and expanding of the city infrastructure. This includes the road system, power generation and distribution, and of course, water treatment and distribution systems. The water is pure and safe to drink from the tap throughout the city. All food products are now available in the many new modern supermarkets equal to the finest in the States. Food for home or restaurant consumption is closely monitored for cleanliness and controlled as in North America.
Medical care--Two new huge modern hospitals and one smaller modern clinic in Vallarta are fully capable of handling all emergencies as well as complicated surgeries. Modern dental clinics are also in Vallarta offering crowns, caps, implants, as well as all the basic dental practices. All of the doctors and dentists speak English and many of them have had at least some professional training in the States.
Friends--Every North American that you see in Vallarta, and they are easy to spot, is either on vacation or retired, i.e., none of them have to go to work tomorrow! They are all open to new friendships and new comers are always welcome. It's one big party with no looming pressures of the office or the commuter drive in the morning.
Language--Because the economy in PV is based on tourism, it is imperative to speak English. Therefore, it is estimated that at least 80% of the younger generation is now speaking or at least understanding English. Communication is not a problem in Vallarta and there is no need to learn Spanish.
Travel Time--Although Vallarta is on the same latitude as Hawaii, it is only two to three hours from most of the US cities. Even the highways coming down from the US are now all super modern tollroads and the drive to PV can be made in two days from the border.
Connectivity--With high speed internet service available citywide, internet based telecommunications, and satellite TV available everywhere, you have the same contact with the world that you would have anywhere in the US or Canada.
Activities--World class deep sea fishing has been for years, and will always be, a major activity in Vallarta. There are now seven beautiful golf courses with more under construction. There are hundreds of tennis courts, water activities, night life galore, and too many clubs and organizations to mention. If you have nothing to do in PV, it's only because that's your choice!
Cost of Living--The cost of basic staples is about the same as in North America, however, housing is roughly half the cost and housing related taxes are a fraction of those in the States. All services are a half to a third of those in the US including medical and dental care because labor rates are so much lower. The cost of dining, outdoor activities, etc., are pretty much in line with those in the States.
Economic Security--The Mexican peso, at approximately 10.8 pesos per US dollar, has held firm for the past ten years. There are no devaluation concerns at this time as the Mexican economy booms.
Political Security--The PAN party has ruled in Mexico since 2000 and will remain in power at least until 2012, assuring a twelve year consecutive run of Mexico being governed by Harvard graduates! Needless to say, they are pro-US and friendly to the North.
Investment--Property values have tripled during the past ten years and are expected to double again during the next five years. With the booming economy, the Mexican stock market has also tripled during the past ten years. There is no slow down of growth in the foreseeable future.
Hopefully, the above 15 items will provide some explanation for the booming economy and explosive growth in Vallarta. They say that the party's not over, that it has only just begun.
The Mexican National Tourism Development Foundation (Fonatur), has designated a 30 mile stretch of pristine Pacific Ocean shoreline north of Vallarta as the new Riviera Nayarit, where more than five billion dollars will be invested during the next ten years creating 30,000 new jobs as they build close to 20,000 new condos, villas, hotels, etc. As the North Americans continue to flock to Paradise, the infrastructure growth and future planning activities continue at a torrid pace.
Fortunately, Mexico has been governed by US friendly Harvard graduates for the past seven years and will be for at least the next five years, thus assuring a safe and secure real estate investing environment well into the future for retiring North Americans. If you're retired or close to retirement, you ought to check out Vallarta before it's too late. If you're fortunate, you'll be included in the next 100,000 gringos that migrate to Paradise!

Redemption Even in War
Mar 21, 2022 Guest AuthorCurrent EventsCurrent Events, Ukraine
During World War II, Jewish teenager Fania Rosenfield lost nearly her entire family to the Nazis. She somehow managed to escape the slaughter happening in her town and find refuge for two years with a Ukrainian family before settling in Israel to begin a new life.
Fania repeatedly told the story of the brave Ukrainian family who saved her to her children and grandchildren. And, a few weeks ago when the Russian invasion of Ukraine was imminent, Fania's granddaughter made a choice to reach out to the family who had saved her grandmother. Now, two young cousins from that Ukrainian family have fled to Israel and are safe with Fania's family.
In the utter darkness of wartime, such as we're now witnessing in Ukraine, we wonder why a good God would allow such evil. Stories like this, of families transcending national, political, ethnic, and generational lines to sacrificially love others, remind us to thank God for allowing such beauty in the world.

After the Virus: Japan's Painful Economic Recovery
Anticipation of an economic windfall in 2020 has fallen flat, but there's still hope for the post-COVID future.
By Anthony Fensom for The Diplomat
Credit: AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko
Japan's 2020 Olympic dreams are gone, the economy is in recession, and the COVID-19 pandemic has tragically caused nearly 1,000 deaths and counting in the country. But if this year's anticipated boom has turned sour, better times could still lie ahead for the world's third-largest economy as it slowly and painfully emerges from COVID-19.
First, the gloomy news, and there has been plenty of it.
After steadfastly pushing ahead with plans to launch the Tokyo Olympics on schedule in July 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic escalating worldwide the organizers were forced to face reality.
Amid growing international pressure, including threats of athlete boycotts, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on March 24 that the Games would be pushed back to "not later than summer 2021" to "safeguard the health of the athletes, everybody involved in the Olympic Games and the international community."
Postponing the summer Olympics and Paralympics is expected to cost the IOC up to $800 million, while the cost for Japan could run into the billions of dollars. While the Tokyo organizers have sought to trim expenditures, postponing the event could add another $2.7 billion to the cost of hosting the Games, which had already been estimated at up to $28 billion.
The sporting spectacular was expected to lure tourists, adding to a previous tourism boom that saw a record of nearly 32 million foreign visitors in 2019. The government hoped to bring in 40 million foreign visitors in 2020. From hotel renovations to airport investments and the launch of new airlines, the world's biggest city spent big for the Games, now slated for July 2021.
Politically, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was hoping for a popularity boost after investing substantial political capital in the Olympics, while Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike faces re-election in July with management of the Games and the coronavirus now top of the agenda.
Nevertheless, not all analysts see the postponement as a financial disaster.
Capital Economics argued that most of the Olympics spending had already occurred by early 2020, with little evidence from previous events of a "feel-good" effect that might spur consumer spending.
"Spending during the Games themselves is small, perhaps just 0.2 percent of GDP, and much of this is diverted from spending in other areas of tourism and recreation," senior Japan economist Marcel Thieliant said in a February 21 report.
Investment firm Nikko Asset Management (Nikko AM) estimated the cost of cancellation at "less than 0.5 percent of GDP."
"Demand has evaporated due to the coronavirus, so the marginal negative impact of the postponement for this year is quite small. If the delay helps prevent further spread of the virus, it will help the global economy and also Japan," said Naoki Kamiyama, chief strategist at Nikko AM.

"Beyond the Binary of Exogenous and Endogenous Transitions: The International Governance of Transitional Justice in Georgia"
"Democratic transitional justice is almost as old as democracy itself," points out Jon Elster. Elster distinguishes between exogenous and endogenous transitional justice, "the process of transitional justice may be either initiated by the new regime or carried out under the supervision of foreign power." The distinction between exogenous and endogenous transitional justice processes is now widely accepted in the transitional justice scholarship. This article has two objectives. First, it suggests that the move beyond the binary of endogenous and exogenous transitions is timely. The nuances of the relationship between external and endogenous actors are better captured as a continuum. At one end of the continuum one would place exogenous transitions, where it is the international actors that are primarily responsible for and involved in all major decisions in relation to transitional justice, including but not limited to prosecution. At the other end of the continuum would feature the processes of endogenous transitional justice, where domestic actors take major policy decisions. Many other primarily non-binding forms through which international actors play a role in endogenously originated transitions would be placed along the continuum depending upon the degree of the external actors' participation.
Second, I support this argument by focusing on the international governance of domestically originated transitional justice processes. International organizations govern transitional justice process implemented by domestic actors through a variety of legally non-binding means, including statements and reports. By focusing on the case of EU governance of transitional justice in Georgia, this article enriches the perspectives with which transitional justice scholars analyze the activities of external actors.

Courier News Boys Soccer Notebook: Coelho aiming to get on field for Hunterdon Central
Mike Jago
@MikeJagoSports
Miguel Coelho is battling a knee injury to get back on the field for his senior season ith the of the Hunterdon Central High School boys soccer team.
A year ago, he wasn't sure he'd ever play soccer again.
Coelho was diagnosed with Leukemia and began treatment in early 2013. The illness, and the rigorous treatment that comes with it, forced him to sit out his junior season.
"One of my goals is to help him do what he needs to do to get back on the field," said Red Devils coach Anson Smith. "The chemo really weakened his bones, and most people wouldn't come back to the sport but it's Miguel, he won't step down from the challenge."
Since finishing his treatment in late 2013, Coelho is now in remission. A knee injury is keeping him from the field, but his team refuses to let him fade.
Coelho took practice shots on the field before the Red Devils' season opener and, even though he can't play yet, he was very vocal from the bench.
The Red Devils have many goals this season, including defending their NJSIAA Central Group IV title, but one goal seems to rise above the rest.
"When he steps on the field, whenever it is this season, it's going to be one of the proudest moments of my life," said Smith. "It's going to be pretty awesome."
Jack Lowe, Gill St. Bernard's: Lowe, one of the headlining players for the Knights, tore his ACL in a non-contact injury. Lowe was coming off a 2013 season where he scored 10 goals, and recorded nine assists. The Knights returned eight starters from last season, with Lowe shouldering the offensive load. The Knights will need some of their top newcomers, like Anes Mrkulic and Armeen Mosafarri, to step up in order to fill the absence. Jordan Schreer, the Knights goalie, tore his labrum in the preseason but is playing through it. Schreer will require surgery after this season.
Milestone watch
Miller Bugliari, Pingry: Bugliari netted his 800th career win on Tuesday, defeating Watchung Hills 1-0. Bugliari becomes just the second boys soccer coach in the nation to reach the 800-win mark. Congratulations, coach!
Watchung Hills at Hunterdon Central, Saturday: The two top-10 teams face off this weekend, with Hunterdon Central coming in with some statement wins. The Red Devils opened the season with a 3-1 victory over Hillsborough, as well as winning a huge match 2-1 over Scotch Plains-Fanwood. Watchung Hills will be looking to make a statement as well, coming off a hard fought 1-0 loss to Pingry.
Scotch Plains-Fanwood at Westfield, Saturday: The Raiders look to keep their season on track against a tough Blue Devils squad. The Raiders sit at 3-1, with victories over Union and Brearly. Westfield sits at 3-1, with victories over East Brunswick, Elizabeth and Union.
Montgomery at Hillsborough, Tuesday: Montgomery went into Pingry and defeated the Big Blue decisively 1-0, something rarely done. In what became a statement win for the Cougars, the 4-0 squad will look to continue its success against a tough Hillsborough squad that can hang with the best of them.

Spotwave
Cell phone signal booster is to take an existing cell signal, typically found outside your home, office or vehicle, amplify the signal and then broadcast it to an area which has weak or no signal. A cell phone signal booster system consists of an external antenna, a signal boosting amplifier and an internal antenna, with cable connecting all of the components. In some cases, like the Spotcell booster, the amplifier and internal antenna are one unit, but most of the time the three components are separate.
1. Capabilities of a Signal Booster
Cell phone signal boosters are designed to take an existing signal, amplify it, and broadcast to a space that is receiving weak or no signal. In order for the system to work, there must be an existing, stable signal to receive and amplify. Cell phone signal boosters are not able to create signal, they only amplify and transmit cell phone signal, so if you are not able to place an external antenna in a location that has a stable signal, then a cell phone signal booster will not work for you.
2. Coverage Area
UberSignal organizes cell phone signal booster kits by the square footage that they are able to cover in ideal circumstances. An ideal circumstance is defined as having a very strong signal for the external antenna, the internal antenna is placed in the best location possible, and there are no major obstacles to prevent the signal from being transmitted to the entire space that needs coverage.
Unfortunately, most situations are not ideal, so it's often necessary to choose a more powerful signal booster kit to compensate for a weak outside signal or inside obstacles that inhibit cell phone signal. If you feel like you have a unique coverage situation, please contact us to discuss and we can help you identify the right solution for your situation.
The strength of the cell phone signal where you plan to mount the external antenna directly determines how large of an area you're able to cover inside of your home, office, or vehicle. If you have a strong external signal, you'll be able to cover an area similar in size to the advertised coverage area of the signal booster. If you have a weak external signal, the inside coverage area will be much smaller than advertised, which may require that you move up to a stronger system to obtain adequate coverage. Always keep this in mind when looking at the published square footage that is listed for each signal booster.
Understanding what the bars mean on your phone is also important to gauging how strong the signal is where you're going to be placing the external antenna. While there's no official standard for displaying cell phone signal with bars on a phone, and some phones have more or less than the traditional five bars, the rule of thumb still exists that each bar of signal is roughly 5 to 10 times the power of the previous bar. This is why it's important for people with low signal strength, such as one or two bars, to consider a stronger cell phone signal booster than what is recommended for their coverage area.
If you'd like to gauge the actual signal strength of your outside signal, then you can put your phone into field test mode, which will display the actual decibel reading of the current signal.
4. Outside Antennas
There are two different types of external antennas that you'll encounter when deciding on a cell phone signal booster, omni-directional and yagi (directional).
Omni-directional antennas are designed to send and receive signal in all directions, so you're able to reach multiple cell phone towers at the same time and boost cell phone signal for multiple providers. If you have a moderate to strong signal in the area that you're going to be placing your external antenna, then an omni antenna is good for you.
Yagi antennas are designed to send and receive signal in a specific direction, so while you're not able to cover a broad area, you're able to reach significantly greater distance to cell phone towers that you would not be able to with an omni antenna. If you're going to be placing your external antenna in an area which has weak signal, and you only have one cell provider that you're looking to boost the signal for, then a yagi antenna is right for you.
5. Amplifier Power
Amplifiers are rated in decibels (dBs), which is a way of measuring how powerful they are. Decibels are a logarithmic measurement, which means that for every 3 decibel increase, the amplifier actually doubles in strength (which also means for every 3 dB decrease, it is half as strong). If you're amplifying a weak signal and want to be sure that you'll cover the full area, choosing a stronger amplifier can be the solution.
6. Inside Antennas
There are two different types of inside antennas to choose from when selecting the components for your signal booster system: dome and panel antennas.
Panel antennas are designed to broadcast and receive signal in one specific direction, and are best suited for either long, rectangular spaces or multiple floors in a house or building. They can be mounted on the wall facing down a space or mounted facing downwards at the top of a space and broadcast down and out through multiple floors.
Dome antennas are designed to cover one floor with signal in all directions and are meant to be mounted on the ceiling the center of the space in order to broadcast and receive signal equally in all directions. They should not be used for multiple floors of coverage.
7. Cable Types
Cable is used in all systems to connect the antennas to the signal boosters. Unfortunately, cables are not perfect and will lose some signal depending on the type, quality, and length of the cable. Ultra Low Loss LMR-400 cable looses 2dB over 50 ft while standard RG6 coax cable (like you use for cable television) loses 5 dB of 50 ft. When possible, you should use the shortest and highest quality cable possible to ensure that a maximum amount of signal is getting from the antennas to the signal booster. If you have extra cable, it is possible to cut it and add a connector to the new end, but this may require special tools. In generally, always try to buy the correct length of cable while allowing a little extra just in case.
8. Carrier Frequencies
Cell phones communicate with cell towers using radio waves and these signals operate on various frequencies. Unfortunately, this means that unless a cell phone signal booster is designed for the frequency you need, it won't boost your signal. For this reason, it's important to understand what frequencies your cell phone typically uses. Most major carriers use one of two frequencies for their 2G and 3G networks. These frequencies, 850 MHz (cellular) and 1900 MHz (PCS), are so common, that signal booster manufacturers started creating "dual-band" amplifiers that were capable of boosting both of these frequencies making them broadly compatible.
In the following list, we're going to cover the frequencies used by the major carriers so that you will know what signal booster will work best for you.
AT&T's 2G, 3G, and HSPA+ 4G networks all operate on the standard dual-band frequencies so any dual-band amplifier will work. AT&T's 4G LTE network operates on the 700 MHZ frequency on Bands 4 and 17 so if you need AT&T LTE data support, look for an AT&T LTE specific booster.
T-Mobile's 2G service operates on the standard dual-band frequencies so any dual-band amplifier will work. Their 3G and 4G HSPA+ service currently runs on the AWS frequencies (1700/2100 MHz) and needs an AWS booster. However, T-Mobile is transitioning their 3G and 4G HSPA+ service to their 1900 MHz band, which is one of the standard dual-bands, so that they can use their AWS band for their new 4G LTE service.
MetroPCS runs some 3G over 1900 MHz so a dual-band amplifier would help in that situation. They also use the AWS frequencies (1700/2100 MHz) for some 3G and for their 4G LTE network. If you're not sure which frequency is being used by your phone, try calling their customer service and asking for clarification.
Sprint's 2G and 3G services operate on the standard dual-band frequencies so any dual-band amplifier will work. Sprint's 4G service is a mix of WiMax and LTE using different frequencies so if you need 4G support, you'll need to figure out which service you're using and what frequency it uses before proceeding. Try calling Sprint's technical support to find out what technology you're using and what frequency it runs on and then contact our customer service for help selecting a kit that will work for you.
Verizon's 2G and 3G networks all operate on the standard dual-band frequencies so any dual-band amplifier will work. Verizon's 4G LTE network operates on the 700 MHZ frequency on Band 13 so if you need Verizon LTE data support, look for a Verizon LTE specific booster.

health benefits brussel sprouts - Brussels sprouts aren't among the most well-loved vegetables. But as the states members of the nutritionally potent cruciferous house, they're worth a region in your health nutrition. Not only are Brussels sprouts a good generator of protein, cast-iron and potassium, but they also volunteer other benefits that they are able boost your overall health .
Vitamin C is crucial for normal rise and occurrence. The nutrient maintains your immune plan strong and cures insist the health of your scalp, teeth and gums. Vitamin C keeps your cells from impair as well, which can reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer. A 1/2 -cup provide of Brussels sprouts contains 48.4 milligrams of vitamin C, which is about 50 percent of what mortals necessitate every day and about 65 percent of what females necessitate on a daily basis .
The average diet contains far less than the 25 to 30 grams of fiber needed for good health, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Fiber maintains your digestive plan working naturally, supports regular bowel movement and prevents constipation. Fiber also helps reduce cholesterol stages, which can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. A 1/2 -cup provide of Brussels sprouts renders 2 grams of fiber .
Often announced folic battery-acid, folate is a B vitamin that is present in massive dosages in leafy lettuce vegetables.

It also plays a role in the formation and maintenance of DNA. Folate might shorten your homocysteine stages, which can reduce your risk of myocardial infarction, according to MayoClinic.com. One-half beaker of Brussels sprouts stipulates 47 micrograms of folate. This translates to about 12 percent of the 400 micrograms you need every day .
Brussels sprouts contain certain antioxidants compounds that render protective helps. A 2011 examine published in the" Journal of Food Science " notes that Brussels sprouts contain compounds announced glucosinolates and isothiocyanates that can reduce your risk of cancer. The article also reports that cooking Brussels sprouts can leach these profitable compounds from the vegetable, though even cooked Brussels sprouts still volunteer nutritional helps .
Steam Brussels sprouts just until "they il be" tender to assist retain as many of their profitable nutrients as is practicable. Drizzle steamed Brussels sprouts with olive oil and fresh garlic for a nutrient-dense side dish. Chop cooked Brussels sprouts and include them to a tossed lettuce salad, pasta sauce or soup. Saute Brussels sprouts with onions and garlic and use the combining as a lusciou and nutritious top for grilled steak or pork chops .
