Mary Keitany again wrote her name in the world record books after a sensational run at the Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday.
Clocking 2:17:01, the Kenyan smashed the women-only marathon world record of 2:17:42 which had been set by Paula Radcliffe in London in 2005.
Behind her, Ethiopian track great Tirunesh Dibaba impressed in only her second ever marathon after her debut in London in 2014, coming close to the record mark herself with 2:17:56.
More than five minutes behind the top two, Ethiopia’s Aselefech Mergia clocked 2:23:08 for third, one place ahead of Olympic 5000m champion Vivian Cheruiyot with 2:23:50 on her marathon debut.
Keitany had a blistering start and had been on sub-2:11 pace through the first 5km, clocking 15:31 for that downhill section. The time on the clock was 31:17 for 10km, with Cheruiyot then in second, recording a split of 31:25 as she enjoyed a strong start to her debut.
Although her pace was gradually starting to slow, Keitany’s time at 10 miles was still 50:48 – exactly a minute quicker than Radcliffe’s time en route to her outright world record of 2:15:25 set in a mixed gender race at the London Marathon in 2003.
Continuing her incredible front-running performance, Keitany went through 20km in 63:26, and behind the pacemaker Caroline Kipkirui she was leading six athletes who remained on pace to dip under the women-only world record mark at that point.
Her 66:54 was the fastest ever half-marathon split in a marathon and kept her on course for a time quicker than the outright world record, with Dibaba, Cheruiyot, Mergia and Kenya’s 2015 world silver medallist Helah Kiprop a minute behind her.
Keitany’s time at 25km – 79:43 – was quicker than her own world record for that distance but not record eligible because of the elevation of the start of the London course. However, 5km later a world record fell as she clocked 96:05 for 30km.
Dibaba had moved into second with 97:23 on the clock at that point, with Kiprop in third a couple of seconds behind her.
While Keitany’s pace continued to slow slightly, she remained looking strong. Dibaba started to close the gap before stomach cramps in the final few kilometres tool their toll. Almost stopping to bend over in pain, three-time Olympic track champion Dibaba again picked up the pace and was 72 seconds behind Keitany at 40km, which the Kenyan passed in 2:09:38.
The two-time London champion wasn’t going to be caught and completed her hat-trick in style, clocking the best ever women-only marathon mark and the second fastest ever time.
Dibaba’s time was an Ethiopian record which moves her to third on the world all-time list.
“It was a very fast pace and I tried to follow it,” said Keitany. “The weather was really good this year. Last year it was very,very cold.
Also delighted with her time was Dibaba, who said: “I’m so happy with the result and being third fastest woman of all time.
“I had stomach cramps with 2km left. I have had that problem before and I was really scared and almost vomited. It really affected my run and my desire to catch up with Mary.
Australia’s Lisa Weightman was fifth in a PB 2:25:15 and USA’s Laura Thweatt sixth in a PB 2:25:38, one place ahead of Kiprop, who clocked 2:25:39.
In the race for places on the GB team for the IAAF World Championships, Alyson Dixon came out on top. Smashing her PB, the Rio 2016 Olympics marathoner clocked 2:29:06 to secure her spot for the World Championships back in the UK capital this summer and she was followed over the finish line by rising marathon star Charlotte Purdue. Her time of 2:29:23 and result as second best Brit also booked her place on the team.
Third Briton to finish was Tracy Barlow who continued her incredible progression over 26.2 miles. From her marathon debut of 3:52:59 in 2011, she went sub-three-hours for the first time in 2013, improved to 2:38:49 in 2015 and then ran 2:32:05 last year before her time of 2:30:42 behind Purdue.
Sadly Jo Pavey did not enjoy such success, as the five-time Olympian, who had been hoping to secure her spot to compete at a sixth world championships, was forced to withdraw around 16 miles into the race. Her coach and husband, Gavin, explained that in Pavey’s long and successful career so far it is only the second time that she has been forced to drop out.
“I’m bitterly disappointed,” the 43-year-old said. “It was always a bit of a gamble running today because I’ve had so much illness in the build-up to the event and I was a bit in the dark about how I would feel on the day.
“But my training had been consistent and I thought I would give it a go because I wanted to qualify for the World Championships in London. It just wasn’t to be on the day.

GAF Materials Corp (Mobile, AL) Odor Lawsuit - Liddle & Dubin, P.C.
Residents in Mobile, Alabama have enlisted attorneys from Liddle & Dubin to file a class action lawsuit against GAF Materials Corporation on their behalf alleging that odors from the company’s facility have interfered with their ability to use and enjoy their property.
GAF’s roofing shingle and asphalt material manufacturing facility, located at 2400 Emogene Street, is located in the midtown area of Mobile surrounded by a residential community.
Numerous complaints have been filed with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management ("ADEM") by residents of the adjacent neighborhood community due to noxious odors attributed to Defendant's facility. Many of these odors were specifically described as "roofing tar" odors. In October of 2015, the ADEM performed a week-long odor survey on Defendant's facility, which confirmed the presence of off-site odors attributed to Defendant's facility.
Since the filing of the class-action lawsuit, GAF announced that it will be closing its Mobile facility in 2019. According to the company, the decision was not related to the pending lawsuit. While the company has plans to suspend its operations at the facility in the future, the lawsuit seeks compensation for the odors residents have been forced to endure for the past several years before the lawsuit was filed. Therefore, the shuttering of the facility will have no bearing on the substance of the case going forward.
More than 100 households have already documented their experience with the odors with our law firm. Affected residents can still contact Liddle & Dubin, P.C. Our lawyers have partnered with local lawyer Pete Mackey of Burns, Cunningham & Mackey, P.C. to pursue the case against GAF.
If you have experienced odors from the GAF facility, we encourage you to complete the Data Sheet. You can also contact attorney Laura L Sheets at (800) 536-0045 for further information.
Please note that this is a request for information only and does not mean that you are hiring our law firm or will be receiving legal representation. Your response will not establish an attorney-client relationship.
If no, are you a tenant?
Thank you for completing the 3D Idapro Solutions odor data sheet online. We will contact you once we have had an opportunity to review your information.
Please note that the completion of this form does not mean that you are hiring our law firm, or will be receiving legal representation. In other words, your response to this form will not establish an attorney-client relationship.
Liddle & Dubin P.C. is one of the premier class action firms in Michigan. The firm specializes in cases involving basement flooding, air pollution, environmental contamination, and complex consumer class actions.
A class action occurs when more than one individual shares similar complaints against the same defendant(s). In a class action all similarly situated claims are litigated before the same judge in the same litigation.

Arsene Wengo will be desperately disappointing with last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at home to Swansea, so three points is vitalite here if the Gunners are to claim their steak for a four-top finish. Consneckutive defeats have seen the Baggies’ flying start hit the bluffers somewhat, but with the likes of Long Shane and Peter Odengo Odemwegson the Nigerian lad my old club carry a pungent attacking threat. Can West Brom upset the apple cartridge like Newcastle did last season? I wouldn’t pull it out just yet.
Mystic Megson says: 1-0 Arsenal – Leo Woolworths with the only goal of a dense encounter. You can put your balls on it!
This would have looked like a real relegatio point-sixer just a few weeks ago, but three wins on the trounce have cattermolted the Potters into the half-top. Call it a munch but I think Rickie Lambert will steer his young side to safeway this season, and if he manages to keep them clear of the flap door then he really will be sticking it to the doubtfires.
Mystic Megson says: 1-1 – goals a priest from Bentheskey and Penguin Jones. You can butter your pudding with that lot, lads!
Now this looks like a relegatio point-sixer and no mistunk. The Saints look nothing if not resurgent under Nigella Atkinson, especially with Gaviscon Ramirez starting to prove his werthers, and their rearguard looks tighter for certainly. Dermot O’Brien’s Royals still look prone to making baysick erruz, but they’ve been involved in some sky-whoring matches of late and that’s been great to widnes.
Mystic Megson says: 3-2 Southampton – Ramirez, Paul Lambert and Adam Lala for the home side, Fondly Adam and Pavel Progrock Prognosis the Russian lad for the visitors. You can wash your face with it!
There’s no two howays about it, the Black Hatters are in a relegatio dogbite now. Neil O’Martin needs to get them up and humming quickly, because there’s no dowd they’ve got talented players in John Adams, Fletch Stevens and Stevie Snegson. Rapper Benito needs to mark his stamp on procedures with more authorodox at Stamford Bridge, but he got his first win under his trousers with a 6-1 Euro win over Njordyfjordy Shnordybordy that Danish lot. Can Ferdinand Tories resnapture his top vorm? I wouldn’t dismiss it out of pocket.
Mystic Megson says: 1-0 Sunderland – Fletch Stevens to bang in a dramatic header in a shocking win. You can slice a cheddar with that lot, lads!
The Swanees are literally flying under Brian Laudrup, and I certainly wouldn’t ruler them out of the beckoning for a Zooropa League place. I like the look of the lad Mika, while little Britton is a player whose name I remember. My old club Norwich have been nothing if not braziliant of late, going on an unbeated run of some matches now. If Chris Hooper can get Grant Bolt firing on all cillit bang, the Canaries will take some stoppage.
Mystic Megson says: 1-1 – goals a priest from Mika and Bolt in a titonic tossle. You can bludgeon a tomato with it!
A nonsense early send-off effeminately ended the contest for Wigan against Newcastle on Monday night, but Martin Robertez can take enburridgement from his depleated side’s performance nevilletheless. Can Larry Redsnap get a first Hoops win under his trousers? If QPR get nothing here then I can’t forsell anything other than a grim rattle against the plop.
Mystic Megson says: 1-1 – Kony to put the balls on Julio Hoilet’s early opening. You can play tennis against that lot, lads!
Talk about a titonic tossle! It doesn’t get much tigger than this, the two Manchester giants going face-to-face trying to wrestle the topshop off each other. Just think of all the pie-flour on show: Roon Wayney, Robin van Dutchlad, Sergio Silvatelli, Edwin van der Gecko, and that’s without even counting the likes of Chichareepo and Carlo Terres.
Mystic Megson says: 0-0 – a shock snoredraw at the Bettyhad. You can stick a wigwam on it!
The Toffees have struggled for vorm of late, but Davie Moyles has done a great job on a budgens. They’re heavily relianted on the lad Marvin Felony, but if they can Nicky Jello Jelagielk the Croatian lad firing on all cillit bang then they could steamiron opponents. Spurs will be without their man danger Christian Bale, so much will depend on the goal-scoring vorm of Jermain Deffo and braziliance of their rearguard.
Mystic Megson says: 1-1 – Spurs to savage a late equaller from Deffo, leaving Moyles hairing his tear out after Felony’s opening. You can take out a loan with that lot, lads!
Ham Allardyce, anyone? Ha! Ha! Big Ham’s got the Irons literally flying at the moment, last week’ 3-1 win over Chelsea sticking it to the doubtfires with a plumb. If he can help them consolibrate their table top status then he’ll have done goodly, whereas more is expecting of Rodger Brenderson. The Reds’ league form has improofed, but they can’t just rely on the racism lad to be firing on all cillit bang because all players have their days off.
Mystic Megson says: 2-0 to the Hammers – Carl Control and Jarvis Matthews piling the threshers on Brenderson. You can balance a teaspoon on it!
The Cottagers’ rearguard is getting bleached too often for my liking, but Davatar Berbasnoff is capapble of codgering up a goal out of absolutely something. Losing Brian Louise just as he was coming into vorm is a blow-out, but I still expect Jolly Martin’s men to assert their Zooropa League prudentials. What can you say about the Magpies that hasn’t already been said? Well, I suppose I’d need a list of things people have said about the Magpies if I’m to answer that one property, but Ibrahim Ba continued his standouting start to the season with a brace against Wigan on Monday so I wouldn’t pull them out just yet.
Mystic Megson says: 3-0 – Berbasnoff double and Fred Hangerbland punishing a Newcastle side still exhausting from their Zooropa League clash in Bordo.
Mystic Megson says:Tuesday?? Pfft. 1-1.

Good video for the fashion lover. Avantgard Exchange also having an amazing collection of clothes for men and women in a variety of graphics & Colors. A quality clothes designed to last. With excellent quality and lower prices. Look sharp where ever you go.
Where did you find these clothes?
Okay I saw this alot in the comment section and I thought I should say it too. All these pictures are about super thin people, not even average.
I have hair on my legs and even on my arms!!!!!!
This are the most basic things.

I’ve written a lot about time over the six years or so I’ve been carrying on with this craziness called The Sound of One Hand Typing. I went looking for all the times I wrote about time, and ended up with 200+ pages (5 entries each) of posts where I used the word itself, so that was pretty much useless. At some point, I should probably sit down and go through the 2,207 posts (including this one) I’ve written and do a better job of coming up with tags, so all I would have to do would be to enter the tag (e.g. “time”) and have all the posts magically pop up. I know it sounds like a waste of time, but it would at least help me when I get an assignment like this one, to see what I’ve already said so I don’t repeat myself which, if you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you know I do a lot of.
Here’s my favorite graphic about time.
The A to Z Challenge for 2018 is history, but I still have comments to reply to and visits to make. If you left me a comment and I haven’t replied, rest assured I’ll get to you and reciprocate your visit, if I haven’t already. So many blogs, so little time. Next year’s challenge will be the tenth. I already have my theme, and it’s oddly appropriate. That’s all I’ll say about it for right now.
And that’s all I’ll say about time for now.
I feel like time is traveling in waves; some are fast, and some are slow. There is always time to re-read your posts to see how clever you’ve been all along.
I would say you’re right there. Sometimes I run across one and just sit there and admire it. Then I try to be even cleverer the next time.
Think about it, though: if time travel is possible, wouldn’t it stand to reason that someone would have come here from the future and told us about it? On the other hand, maybe not.
That’s a good point, JOHN.
On the other hand, I sometimes get into some stuffs that one could describe as being “Very Non-Mainstream”. And I remember reading and seeing some things that seemed to indicate that on occasion people from other times (either the past OR the future) have kind of overlapped into the present.
Granted, I’ve not seriously studied these cases like I have other topics, so I’d not be willing to take any sort of position on them, but they do intrigue me.
Stories such as the one about the disappearance of David Lang in Tennessee in 1880 (which fired up my imagination at about the age of 11 or 12). Where did he go? Did he step into some kind of Time Vortex and get transported to the past or future? And if so, who there would believe him?
There are multiple reports of people in the present day seeing images of Civil War soldiers fighting in the dead of night on the Gettysburg battlefield. There are some photographs (which I acknowledge could possibly be photoshopped) of people at old historic events wearing clothes of a style that would not come into fashion for 50 or 60 years into the future.
There are just so many mysteries in this world that we will probably never understand until we’re out of this world. But I have a sense that somehow everything that has happened and everything that’s going to happen is currently and continuously happening all at once but on myriad vibrational levels. Now, whether or not it’s possible to move in and out of those levels, visiting them, I wouldn’t speculate. But if it is, then that would raise the question of whether or not it’s wise. Just because something, perhaps, CAN be done doesn’t necessarily mean it ought to be. But it’s fun to speculate on things like this occasionally and exercise one’s imagination.
Wow. Already have a theme for next year? That’s incredible. Good use of time… planning ahead.
Wow! Ten years of A to Z? Have you participated in all of them?
I thought I came up with my themes early, usually Dec or Jan – but never a year ahead of time! Way to go.
I’ve only participated since 2012, so this past challenge was my 7th.
Sometimes you just have to strike while the iron’s hot. I started riffing with ideas and suddenly had a word list.
I was watching an interview someone was doing with Kanye West where he basically said the same thing about Time and how it’s not real. He must have read that quote first. 😉 It does really make you think though and it makes me feel a lot less guilty about “staying up too late.” There’s no such thing as too late!!
I’m retired, so there’s really no such thing as “too late” anymore.
This was an interesting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrqmMoI0wks I think it reaches the conclusion that past and future are just illusions and that there’s really nothing except now….
Seems like time is everything when we need it and nothing once it’s gone.
Time is definitely ephemeral that way.
I loved the images you shared about time. It’s true that we have become a slave to time in many ways. So few of us actually live in the moment and enjoy it because we are either dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. I’d enjoy reading your new ‘riffing’ feature.
Well, I’ll probably do more riffing as time goes on.
Right. That’s why Daylight Saving Time is just a psychological change, making it appear that you have more daylight. We change the clock to suit our life. Animals can’t tell time, so they see it getting light and start doing their day things, and as it starts to get dark they know it’s time to do night things.

So everyone knows AI is coming that’s nothing new. But towards the end of this year it became quite personal to me.
What many of you may not know is that before I became a librarian, I was very interested in Chess as a child and teenager and later became very interested and involved in the field of Computer Chess in the late 90s and early 2000s. Incidentally I stopped around the time I became a librarian.
As such the very recent announcment by DeepMind about the exploits by AlphaGo Zero and Alpha Zero blew my mind.
I was of course aware of the magnitude of what DeepMind achieved with AlphaGo, the first Go engine to beat a top ranked Go player, going on to beat the world champion, particularly since Go was a much harder game for machines to master than Chess. In Chess, the top humans started losing in the late 90s (most famously Kasparov’s lost to Deep Blue in 1997, though at the time arguably Kasparov was still stronger) and by the mid to late 2000s were pretty much unbeatable by any human.
Still when I read about Alpha Zero in a reddit thread, I couldn’t help but feel a big emotional reaction. It wasn’t that DeepMind’s Alphazero beat one of the top chess engines Stockfish in a convincing way , winning 28 games out of 100 games (the rest were drawn), but it was the way it was achieved.
Unlike the AlphaGo version that beat the Go World Champion, which was fed human master games to learn from , Alpha Zero learned everything from scratch. It was only coded with the rules of the game and nothing else and in only four hours by pure self play and learning it trained itself to the level that it could toy with Stockfish one of the best Chess engines in the world.
Remember Stockfish itself is superhuman in play, but Alpha Zero makes it look dumb. It wasn’t that Alpha Zero won, but the way it tore Stockfish apart with positional play and sacrifices. A commenter said it was like watching Paul Morphy (a unparallelled Amercian Chess genius in the1880s who Bobby Fischer is often compared to) tear apart much weaker players.
A lot of StockFish defenders protested the results. They pointed to the fact Stockfish was disadvantaged (it didn’t use an opening book, endgame tablebases but neither did Alpha Zero), and while some of what they said had some merit (e.g. Stockfish had only 1 Gb of Ram for hashtables when typically it would have much more) but it all misses the point.
What Alpha Zero shows is that the old computer chess paradigm is over.
Stockfish is the latest line of Chess engines built on the old computer chess paradigm dating back to the 60s and 70s. It was designed to search as deep as possible with a few carefully chosen heuristics (chosen by programmers to ensure evaluating these features didn’t slow the search too much) to evaluate terminal positions. It was essentially “fast but dumb” compared to humans. But by the early 2000s the hardware speed was too overwhelming allowing it to outsearch humans even though humans were much better at discarding useless moves and looking only at critical ones.
For decades, human programmers would painstakenly coded how the chess engine would search (typically some variant of alpha-beta pruning with extensions, late move reductions etc). They coded in heuristics on how to evaluate and score the positions reached by search . So for example Stockfish would be given heuristics like a Pawn is worth 1 unit, a Bishop worth 3 units etc. Or add +0.5 bonus if you had a bishop pair and the position was open etc. They would make changes and run thousands of games against other chess engines to see if the change helped it become stronger.
Alpha Zero was different. No-one taught it how to play. No one coded any search algothrim, or taught it to value queens over Rooks. Just by playing itself, it figured out the game of Chess.
Or rather in 4 hours of self-play (though on very fast and specialized TPUs designed for neural nets), it exceeded what the best achievements of human civilization in Chess. After all Stockfish can be viewed as the accumulation of over 70 years of Computer Chess knowledge and centuries of human knowledge in Chess and Stockfish played like a God compared to any individual human – even the human world champion.
But there is a new sheriff in town and Alpha Zero did it all by self-learning with no human guiding it!
I know I have been gushing but it seems to me that Alpha Zero’s achievement shows that in time to come, anything with clear cut rules and goals is doomed to quickly fall to AI. They don’t even need to consult current experts in the domain!
Before this I was already interested and playing with machine learning packages in R, playing around with decision trees, random forest, svm, naive Bayes, KNN etc (also check out Rattle if you want a point and click GUI over R) but it seems I made a mistake and should have learnt more about neural nets – such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), or Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) etc.
I have no ambitions to be a data scientist. But I do think it prudent to understand roughly know how they work or even in a pinch run simple machine learning tasks just to get a feel. It allows you to get a sense what things are pure hype and what is actually do able.
For example I used to be quite excited by the idea of a new generation of chatbots powered by latest machine learning techniques. That is until I actually looked at how you got it trained and tried a few chatbots deployed by banks etc, and it seems to have a way to go.
The game of open access continues…..
I’ve been blogging a lot about open access in 2016 and this continued in 2017. A very big thing that broke out in 2017 from my point of view was the sudden interest in improving the discovery of open access material. I speculated that we have reached a level where the availability of open access was too big to ignore, and this continued in the waning months of 2017, with Web of Science linking to Green OA using oaDOI (the breakout star of the year), and CORE partnering with Summon and Primo.
Other big news included the buyout of Bepress by Elsevier and their continued ambitions of getting into user workflows and provide view as an “analytics company” and the growing realization by open activists (at least the subset that is hostile to traditional publishers and/or want to “reclaim the scholarly infrastructure” or solve the affordability issue) that they have made serious strategic mistakes in the past.
The gane of open access continues……….
As open access advances , the role of academic libraries has that of a wallet is projected to diminish. This has to be replaced by other services, particularly with a greater focus on services based on expertise.
In particular academic libraries have been moving into digital humantities, digital scholarship and Research Data management with varying speeds.
I’ve been studying some of the technical skills associated with these areas and one of the more interesting developments this year include the rise of the library/data/software carpentry movements, which provide easily digested lesson plans to learn the basics of everything from Git to OpenRefine.
Linked data is also an area that I’ve struggled to understand over and over again for years. Beyond the technicalities (RDF serialization, SPARQL, OWL etc), I have struggled to see the point of Linked Data as a lot of tutorials don’t make this clear and the few demos I’ve seen don’t look too compelling (.e.g. mockups of ExLibris linked data in Primo records).
I’ve tended to agree with this critic on library Linked data , who thinks a lot of Linked Data work in Libraries is just doing Linked data for the sake of Linked data.
I’m slowly starting to see the light though. In particularly Wikidata is perhaps the best answer I know to “Why Linked data”.
By structuring data from Wikipedia in structured link data, you can answer questions like , “How many painters are sons of painters?” or “Largest cities with female mayor” using SPARQL.
In the coming year, I might actually muster up the courage to blog a post to try to demystify Linked Data for people who like me are confused and consider some use cases for linked data that are potentially useful.
Beyond all the technicalities – a more interesting question is the question of how academic librarians are going to cope with these new expertise areas. For instance how much of all this is a average liason expected to know? It’s all very well to get new hires who already have these skillsets but how do you include those people like me who did not come in with these skills?
In a way it’s not a new question, even in my not so long 10 year career in academic librarianship, I had to learn and master diverse knowledge areas and skill sets like reference managers, Bibliometrics and open access which are now expected competencies in the skillsets of academic librarians.
Still, there are limits to this expansion of knowledge and it’s hard not to be daunted in the new areas of Research Data Management, Digital Humantities, Digital Scholarship…..
I guess a lot of what I posted isn’t mind blowing even if you haven’t being paying a lot of attention to the world around us.
Still, I hope dear readers you have found certain bits useful.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all loyal readers for your support of this blog and I’ll see you in 2018!

Oh you must read it. I must have read it half a dozen times and I get more out of it every time. It's just so much fun as well. I must admit some of the biology in it puzzles me a little though.
I'll just be sticking with my cheesy Gay Vampire Detective novels and cross-stitching, m'self. Not in the mood for hard thinking, yet!
Excellent book; is it back in print, or did you find a used copy?
Thats been out for a while, I think... yep, my 1999 copy is the 20th anniversary edition. Time for a Silver Anniversary edition now!
I have attempted to read it several times. I finally bought a copy that I will open some time.

I love wall sconce and have always wanted a large sconce with lots of little candles. Last year my husband got this Francesca Spiral Leaf Sconce for me and I absolutely love it!
At first I wanted to spray paint the whole frame black and get clean votive holders. I thought it would go with my room better. After I lit all the tea lights for the first time and saw how beautiful it was just as it was, I am sure glad I didn't end up changing it. The main part of the spiral is solid black. The leaves and berries are a golden brown color. The votive holder are also this golden brown color, but they are see through, not solid. When the tea lights are lit, it gives a beautiful amber glow to the wall and surrounding area.
There are a total of 12 votive holders and the spiral spans 24" in diameter. It takes up a good area of wall space without being over bearing. It fits perfectly over our bed and give a great romantic atmosphere. When all the candles are lit, this wall sconce give out quite a bit of light.
Not only do I love this wall sconce, but so does my husband! And he's a manly man!

I find it unnecessary to hire Consultants who would come up with “tourism plan” for LGU units that are already with potential tourist destinations. Why the need for a Consultant when all that the tourists need are ONLY clean accommodation facilities, exotic foods and honest tricycle or taxi drivers? And, worse, with the Consultant coming yet, from outside the community being promoted!
Is it difficult for a local government to require stallholders in the public market to maintain cleanliness?…for restaurant owners to have clean restrooms, tidy halls, and staff clothed in clean uniform and with a ready smile? Or, is it difficult for a local government to call on the drivers of public conveyances to be courteous and be honest?…why the need for a Consultant to dictate what to do when all the things that should be done are supposed to be just dictated by COMMON SENSE?
Puerto Galera in Mindoro did not become famous because of Consultants, and so are Boracay, the scuba diving sites around the country, the mountains, the caves and the festivals. PHILIPPINE AIRLINES DID A LOT IN PROMOTING THEM AS PART OF ITS AIR TRAVEL EDUCATION PROGRAM. The Department of Tourism just “researched” on them so that they can have something to print in their brochures that they displayed in their “field” offices around the country and some cities around the world. They literally picked up easily the “opportunities” of already famous tourist attractions of the country.
CONSULTANTS WERE NEVER HIRED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO MAKE WHAT THEY HAVE AS TOURIST ATTRACTIONS BECOME FAMOUS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO PRESERVE THEIR PRISTINE BEAUTY AND THE GREED FOR MONEY OF INVESTORS, PRACTICALLY, SPOILED THEM….AND, BORACAY IS THE BIG PROOF!
The word-of-mouth system of promotion also did a lot…made by satisfied travelers who told their friends when they went back to their countries. THERE WAS NO PLAN. What is worse that is happening today is the idiotization of festivals of different cities and towns that differ only in outlandish costumes but with street dancers moving to the same rhythm and beat copied from the Ati-atihan of Ibajay in Aklan and later, Kalibo, as well as the Binirayan of Antique. In fairness to some of them, however, there are many towns who are steadfast in coming up with costumes symbolic of their festival or celebration. But generally, the general impression about the festivals is “…if you have seen one, you have seen them all…” WHICH IS NOT GOOD AND SHOULD SERVE AS A STRONG SIGNAL TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM TO DO SOMETHING.
The Philippines is lagging behind the rest of the traditional destinations in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore with even those that had a late start-up like Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia catching up. It should be noted that even Singapore is making to full use the “colors” of its rich multi-faceted culture that include street foods and market scenes. On the other hand, the rest of the highly-attractive nations are also doing the same with the same pride. Meanwhile, the Philippine tourism guys think that the country MUST hold an international pageant to make her popular!
The country should be thankful to Duterte whose feisty and rhetorical statements have earned added curiosity of the world and the respect of many nations….but to the guys who are salaried to work for such purpose?…WELL…!#$@^&%$!

The Q-Engine is a plug-and-play script that allows you to add features to your game and customize them according to your needs, including the Combat Add-On (QES-SSA), which enhances the combat system and provides further options to improve performance and layout. In time, there might be additional enhancements to the combat system itself as the Q-Engine further develops.
Battle Start/End Images – Displays a corresponding image at the start and end of combat.
Show Battle Faces – Displays faces instead of the default character graphics.
Post-Combat Restore HP/MP/States – Restores HP, MP and States after combat. ¶ This has been temporarily disabled because the routine is being rewritten.
Battle Turn Counter – Displays a window measuring the number of turns.
No video demo is available yet, but I’m aiming to have a video showcasing the different effects that can be achieved with the QES-CBS.
The Q-Engine is constantly developing, with new features being added regularly. Planned updates for the QES-CBS are essentially tweaks to improve or change the layout of the combat system.

She is our new hero.
After her Oscar meme fame, Jennifer Garner is back in a more relatable-than-ever way online.
The 45-year-old actress "had some wine" yesterday and debuted her new Instagram show called "What's In My Bag?" where she shared every single item that was in her favorite backpack — while being admittedly a little tipsy.
Inside her bag was a notebook, a day planner, a lot of heart stickers, a jumble of colored pens, one very bright flashlight, index cards, a small box of tea, and a geode.
When she pulled the purple rock out of her bag, she simply shrugged, giggled, and said, "I don't know."
"People say, 'Are you really organized?' No I'm not," Garner said in the video.
The Camping star has also used her Instagram to share episodes of her "Pretend Cooking Show" where she tries out different recipes for her kids and shows them off to her fans. The adorable mom shares custody of her three children, Violet (12), Seraphina (9), and Sam (6) with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. The two split back in April 2015, but Affleck just bought a $19.2 million home one mile away from Garner on Monday, according to E! News.
Affleck might have the new digs, but it looks like Garner is having a blast making her at-home videos, and we're so ready for the next episode.

Peer Reviewed Research About Effectiveness (or lack thereof) Of TFA Teachers | Gary Rubinstein's Blog Has Moved!
This is a copy of a great post from Education Week.
In the past few weeks, Philip Kovacs has taken a public stance in Huntsville, Alabama, raising questions about the school district’s decision to invest significant resources in bringing Teach For America interns to that city. This is a guest post by him, describing his concerns.
When I first heard about Teach for America, I thought it sounded like a good program. Given a hard to staff school in a poverty stricken city, why not let enthusiastic college graduates with some training go in and put their hearts and souls into classrooms that would otherwise be staffed with less-prepared or unprepared individuals?
That line of thinking began to change as I read column after column problematizing the venture.
Over the past two years, my city (Huntsville, AL) laid of over 300 certified teachers, many of them graduates of my program. Then I found out our city had signed a $1.7 million deal for at least 170 TFA members. That figure is not firm, as the contract stipulates “at least” 170 TFAers over the next four years. Recent reports suggested it was $1.9 million.
…when I learned that TFA members were coming to my city, that they were going to cost the District an additional $5,000 per year more than other new teachers cost, I became very interested in the research supporting the program. I bought and read Learning on Other People’s Kids, a book written by a former TFA trainer and a respected scholar. Have you read that book? It is dedicated to TFA members, and it is eye-popping to say the least.
Regarding the research supporting TFA, what I found was, well, nothing.
There is no peer-reviewed research that supports the program.
I have, however, seen two, peer reviewed pieces, one of which can be downloaded here: Teach for America: A Review of the Evidence (the other is forthcoming in the rather conservative Kansas Law Review) suggesting that TFA members are worse for elementary students in both reading and math, as determined by test scores. NOW, I don’t think test scores are the best indicator of teacher or student performance, so I’d be more than wiling to judge the success of both teachers and students using other data points. But test scores are the gods of the current educational reformers, and if their gods don’t support what they are doing, there is some sort of problem in the temple.
At best the empirical evidence is mixed, at worst, it is damning. Given that the organization has been around for 20 years, if it was so good, why aren’t there dozens of peer-reviewed reports proving it?
Furthermore, if I were a high level Teach for America employee or the founder (who makes the paltry sum of $350,000 a year heading her non-profit), I would commission study after study to prove the program’s success.
Goodness, I would probably go and buy a study from the Manhattan Institute or the Heritage Foundation, or Cato or any other report-producing think tank that hates teacher’s colleges and the teachers that come through our doors.
There are dozens of these organizations, if there weren’t, we wouldn’t be living in the most anti-teacher moment in history, save the early1600s when there was an active effort in the colonies to keep all people illiterate, not just the slaves.
Here is something else to consider. Market based reformers claim that competition works and that the market should determine success. If this was the case with TFA, the organization would not need $25,000,000 from the federal government or another $25,000,000 from the Broad Foundation to stay afloat. Its overwhelming success would earn enough dollars from the cities who use its graduates. In reality the “free” market can be ignored when you have enough money to buy yourself out of it.
If my city could not find qualified, certified teachers, I might support TFA recruits entering classrooms as part of a rigorous scientific study, if and only if parents were notified and given the choice to opt out, as is required by law.
The fact is Huntsville laid off 300 teachers over the past two years, many of whom were graduates of my university, and there is no teacher shortage in our city. In fact, competition for jobs is extreme with one principal telling me that she has 50 applications for every position…50!
I am also disturbed by the cronyism involved in all of this. Our new superintendent graduated from the Broad Foundation’s super-prep center. The Broad Foundation supports TFA. it doesn’t take an architect to connect these dots. Importantly, there are other non-traditional programs that prepare individuals for teaching. I went through one! There is an excellent program in North Carolina that has an amazing retention rate, so why not go with them given the overwhelming research that shows experience matters?
(For research challenging the argument that experience does not matter, see from the left leaning EPAA: Does Teacher Preparation Matter? Evidence about Teacher Certification, Teach for America, and Teacher Effectiveness. . See also, from the very right-of-center: Eric A. Hanushek & Steven G. Rivkin, Pay, Working Conditions, and Teacher Quality, 17 FUTURE CHILD. 69, 7778 (2007).
After consideration for my untenured self and the futures of my students, I decided to go and ask our Board of Education a few questions. They are included below in case you want to ask them to your board members, and I encourage you to do so. I suggest you practice them more than I did, so you can look up more often in order to make eye contact with the Board. I was, in fact, pretty nervous, which is silly because 1) they work for me and 2) there is not a more incredulous audience than 25 high school juniors!
Philip Kovacs is a former high school English teacher who teaches teachers at the University of Alabama, Huntsville. He is the editor of The Gates Foundation and The Future of U.S. Public Schools, priced to move at Amazon.com… His research interests includes education in and for democracy and critiques of neoliberal think tanks, institutes and foundations. You can follow him on twitter @philipkovacs.
Here’s a link to the YouTube clip of Philip talking to the school board, note the camera in the back, as he called the news and convinced them to come to the meeting.
1. You’ve claimed there is “overwhelmingly positive research” in support of Teach for America (TFA). This is demonstrably false. Why are you making this claim when there are only two, non-peer reviewed reports on TFA, both of which have been discredited by scholars?
Furthermore, given that TFA has been around for over 21 years, if they were so successful, shouldn’t there be dozens of peer-reviewed studies showing that success?
As there is no peer reviewed research on TFA, this is in fact an experiment, as such, will you give notice to parents whose children will take place in your experiment, as is required by law?
If your answer is “no,” are you in fact demanding that all families participate in your experiment, or will parents be allowed to place their children in classrooms with professional teachers?
2. Will you guarantee that TFA members will be equitably distributed across the district and not only placed in Title I schools, which would be in direct violation of the ongoing federal desegregation order re: Hereford v. Huntsville?
Furthermore, will you provide the media with the percentage of black teachers laid off and the percentage of white “new faces” replacing them, or will the media need to use the Freedom of Information Act to determine those figures?
3. I am aware of several alternative programs that have better retention rates than TFA (see, for example, North Carolina). Did you solicit competing bids from these other organizations? If so, where are those bids, if not, why not?
4. Dr. Robinson claims the $5,000 per year is for professional development, but TFA claims the money must be used towards paying off college loans. Who is incorrect on this point?
Are my tax dollars going to professional development, or am I paying off other people’s college debt because, quite frankly, I have plenty of my own college debt.
5. If, in two years, your $1.9 million experiment on Huntsville’s children has not produced “overwhelmingly positive results,” will you hold yourselves accountable and resign?
6. Will you provide members of the media with the exact amount of money you have given to the Broad Foundation since Dr. Wardinksy arrived, or will you make them use the Freedom of Information Act to determine to that figure?
7. Will you agree to stop outsourcing public education and to immediately end outside-of-district spending until the media has had time to determine, exactly, how much of our tax dollars you have given away?
What do you think of Philip Kovacs’ approach and the questions he has raised? Is Teach For America present in your schools? What do you think of their role?
The report was produced by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. I wish someone would debunk it. I would, but I’m not completely confident of my knowledge of statistics. Maybe, if you’re not too busy, you could?
I looked at the report, and I don’t understand T-scores. I looked up T-score, and I still don’t understand.
Philip has some decent points, and some points that don’t seem very well argued when analyzed from a mathematical proof or research perspective. I understand why he feels like TFA deprofessionalizes education. As a Phd student in education I’m seeing how much we know as a field that TFA is not capitalizing on-there is more to learn about teaching than can possibly be learned in five weeks. However, I think he’s missing some important points when making the claim that TFA is not a good thing for our educational system.
Research in education is a huge challenge-statistical verification of causal relationships in education seems almost impossible. I don’t think that I, or anyone else, can prove if TFA’s model is a net positive for our educational system. And when I say positive it’s not because I believe that all of our kids are making amazing progress and meeting all of our ambitious goals in our first two years. So, for all of you new teachers or applicants reading this post and wondering if you have made a horrible mistake by committing to serve what Philip seems to think is an ineffective and harmful organization, let me see if I can give you a different perspective on why that it is good you are here.
The research reports I’ve read on TFA’s effectiveness(some mentioned above and a few more he missed) seem to support the idea that we are about as good as traditionally trained teachers and better than other brand new teachers. Our retention levels are about average when compared to others at schools we teach at(And yes, that does imply that retention levels across the board are atrocious).
However, I think it is a mistake to end the analysis of a TFA teachers impact at the end of their second year. At the school I worked at many TFA stayed on and became some of the most respected and active teachers at the school. Over half of the school improvement team charged with addressing issues of school-wide failure were TFA teachers. Was it ideal that newer teachers were coming up with ideas to fix our school? No. But, I don’t think anyone else at the school was planning to do it if we weren’t there.
And yes, lots of people leave their first schools, and I did too, but I don’t think that many of our stories end when we leave our placement school. I still follow my kids on facebook and they inspire me to work harder. The work that I do with all of my energy is focused on addressing an issue I first saw as a corps member. Those kids experiences in math classes are the reason that I’m studying what I am in graduate school. And I know stories are not proof, but the reason I’m in education for the rest of my life is because I experienced the inequity first hand. The statistics I read about in Savage Inequalities became stories about real kids whose hopes and dreams of being doctors and lawyers and teachers were being held up because they couldn’t make sense of the disaster of a math education they had received.
So how does my story generalize? Because my story isn’t proof of much of anything by itself. I went to a statistical talk recently about how incredibly hard it is for a teacher to make huge dents in student achievement. Socio economic status, prior education, mother’s education level, organization of the school, etc. all played a huge role. This particular statistician who’d been doing research on accountability models felt like based on the data she had seen that teachers accounted for about 15 percent of student learning and the rest was due to outside factors. If you change those outside factors by changing the way math is taught, changing the way the school is run, the parents participate, etc. you can explain why some TFAers are able to make a lot of progress and become existence proofs that the model can do wonders.
So, what is the point of putting these high achieving college graduates into the midst of a broken system and telling them for two years that they can change things that are probably beyond their control? It’s a learning experience. For the teacher. And it doesn’t bother me that we are learning on someone elses kids because we are doing about an average job of it. Yes, TFA is an experiment, but so is almost everything in education in every classroom. Embrace that it is an experiment instead of saying this is a problem. Teaching is always an experiment, even for people with PhD’s in education. It’s not like putting kids in traditional math courses has even shown that traditional teachers are not doing irreparable damage to the kids understandings of math. Look at our international scores. And if the TFA teacher thinks about their time as a scientist they are going to learn from it. They will try different solutions, see how they work out, and create models and hypothesize causal relationships. All teachers do this-I’d ask Philip what scientific proof he has for his favorite lesson and ask if he sent a note home asking permission for the kids to participate in it given that it might not result in learning as demonstrated by statistical models.
So what do we learn? We are learning how hard it is for those kids to come to school every day and face what they do. We realize that for the first time in our life effort is not always enough. We push up against the restraints of the system and realize how hard it is to make change. We realize that quick fixes, fancy curriculum, and more professional development are not going to fix anything overnight. We try things out and see them fail and learn about more variables in the complicated education system.
And yes, if we quit, and move on, and don’t use everything we’ve learned, then TFA is probably not a net positive. However the statistics also show that many TFAers stay in education. And I think that is where the true value of TFA lies and why it’s worth supporting. It can’t be argued that it convinced elite college grads to enter a field that has low status and pay. They made something that used to be easy to get into competitive and appealing to a entirely different audience. And this audience matters-because they often take their experiences and lessons and stories and try to fix something. And now all the shiny idealism that you see in the “I just got accepted to TFA and I’m going to change my kids lives in a week posts” turned into realism about the situation. These kids can learn but they have been given an awful place to do it.
So, take your experiences from TFA and don’t feel bad if you tried your best and your kids are still about average. Learn from this time, write about this time, and don’t forget this time when you go on to figure out how you can best contribute to the world.
Thank you for your post. I have asked my superintendent, who is mentioned in Dr. Kovacs’ post above, to provide me with the evidence that he claims proves that TFA teachers are more effective. He has not produced such data.
You seem to claim that any claims to demonstrate a pattern or tendency is fundamentally flawed, and yet you also want to claim that the current system is “broken” and that for evidence of this we should “look at our international test scores.” Finally, you argue that you believe that TFA produces a net positive.
So which is it? Can we use data to evaluate the program or not? And if not, why are you so willing to use data to evaluate a “traditionally trained” teacher’s performance?
You state that if TFA teachers “quit, and move on” that TFA is probably not a net positive. You then claim that “statistics also show that many TFAers stay in education,” but like my superintendent you don’t offer any evidence to support your claim. Could you post some of these “statistics” that support your claim that TFAers stay in education? I would appreciate it.
The study by Heilig and Jez from June 2010 shows that TFAers have an attrition rate of more than 80%. You may review that study for yourself at http://nepc.colorado.edu/publication/teach-for-america. There are many other studies cited in that study that have similar findings.
Could you share with us what insights these TFAers have had, and how their insights have improved our schools? TFA has been around since 1990. What evidence of changes can you cite for us that they have had upon our schools?
1. Larger Classroom Sizes and Higher Student to Teacher ratios.
2. Expanded Central Office expenditures and reduced classroom expenditures.
4. An increase in the number of schools closed or slated for closure, all while claiming that he doesn’t believe in closing schools.
5. Teachers and Administrators operating in fear.
You may see the evidence for these changes at my blog at http://www.geekpalaver.com if you wish.
If these are the benefits they have gained, I would prefer that they go own about their chosen careers without inflicting such insight upon our kids, and their teachers.
I can’t find the stat-I was doing a research project on TFA and remembered a bunch of stats but didn’t take the time to cite them since posting was not counting for a grade!
I believe it was in this dissertation study about TFA-though all I’m locating is info about how many leave teaching and not how many stay in education.
I completely agree that many TFAers leave teaching.
I don’t have any real evidence about TFA changing the landscape in the education system. The issues are too complicated. I do know it changed me and some of my friends and I believe we are doing good for education and might not have been otherwise-I believe my argument suggests but does not prove this possibility of why TFA is good.
Was it ideal that newer teachers were coming up with ideas to fix our school? No. But, I don’t think anyone else at the school was planning to do it if we weren’t there.
Of the initiatives the new teachers planned, how many were they able to implement? How many were left as ideas to fix the school that would not be implemented? And of those implemented, how many continued after the TFAers involved left?
One of the aspects of education that TFAers miss if they choose to leave after their two years (or after three, or during their two years) is how difficult it is to implement sweeping changes to a school culture. Those changes require buy-in from a heavy proportion of the staff, not just the people on the leadership team, and they have to be planned, with many small goals and ways to see if they’re working or not.
New teachers also don’t have the institutional memory of the school to know what’s been tried before and what happen, so there’s often replication of the same old plans. For us veterans, it’s hard to see how this time will be any different.
It’s not the size or the brilliance of the idea, it’s what happens when that idea is implemented. This is something of a fundamental issue with Teach for America: a lot of focus on new and big and innovative, and not so much on what happens to those new, big, innovative plans.
For the record, “statistics show” TFAers stay in education only if you use a very wide definition of “education”. Those of us who stay in the classroom for years are few.
In Defense of Tenure | the stylish teacher linked to this post.
Just wondering if you have done any articles about TFA’s tendency to place teachers in Special Ed positions. As a special educator, I am horrified by this.
Gary, I second April’s request. I’ve heard that something like 20% of TFA CMs are placed in Sped positions. As a Special Ed teacher myself, this is terrifying. The learning curve for working with students with special needs is even steeper than Gen ed classrooms. Those kids can’t afford completely untrained teachers. What kind of additional training does TFA provide these teachers BEFORE day one? Do they have extensive practice in writing IEPs and implementing BIPs? What kind of learning interventions have they been taught? Are they given a chance to work directly with students with disabilities during Institute?
Also, I am pretty sure that parents of a student with an IEP would have just cause to sue a district for putting any uncertified teacher in a Sped position. Really would love to hear more about Special Ed and TFA!
Does anybody have any really good peer reviewed studies that shows that ANY teacher training works? What I have seen has been weak.
My guess is that experience trumps training by miles. Most who haven’t taught will be weak the first year or two – TFA trained, traditionally trained, or untrained – and will improve over time. If I’m right (I may not be – show me the GOOD studies), then TFA is lousy because of the retention problem, not because of the condensed training.
One more thing. One needs to control for student teaching – student teaching, for most IS teaching, and hence experience. One shouldn’t assume that if classically trained teachers do better than TFA teachers it’s because of training per-se – to call student teaching training instead of experience seems a bit disengenuous.
I’m increasingly concerned about TFA’s apparent interest in ECE. Their particular training model and focus strikes me as inappropriate for very young children. There’s also a lot of problematic discourse on “family background” and education outcomes within TFA (and education reform generally). In ECE programs, you’re going to have a lot closer contact with those families, and if you come in with strong ideas about what they need, you’re not coming in with respect and the willingness to learn about them and their children.
I, for one, joined TFA in part because I wholly, foolishly, believed all TFA teachers were outstanding teachers. I would LOVE to see more research done on TFA (or any teacher training program! Or anything in education!) that convinces me whether we are or aren’t making a difference–in the classroom, in the country, anywhere.
The moral of the story: let’s all go into education research so we can settle this debate once and for all!

I have a composting question. My compost bin has a good mixture of small leaves, day-old cut grass and kitchen fruit/veggie scraps. We have a small lily pond nearby with lots of ropy green algae. Can I add some or a lot of this to my bin? Your thoughts, please.

Which poses a bigger threat to black communities: Racism? Or the absence of fathers? Drawing on a sea of official data and his own upbringing, talk-show host Larry Elder shows just how important black fathers are in turning boys into responsible and happy men–and how their absence has had a tragic impact on millions of black Americans.

Last week at this time I was boarding a flight aboard an Etihad A380 in the First Class Apartments. It was an incredible flight and the trip report will be coming soon, but I wanted to give you some information about how you can book these flights yourself.
As you hopefully have heard, the American AAdvantage award chart will be destroyed (under the guise of “innovation”) for bookings made starting March 22, 2016. One of the big sweet spots in the award chart right now is the 40k First Class award between Europe and the Middle East and another sweet spot is the 60k First Class award between the Middle East and Australia/Oceania (vice versa as well).
Many of you who have some miles to spare might want to take a look at traveling these routes in Etihad First Class on the A380 while you still can! Under the new award chart the Europe-Middle East will jump over 50% to 62,500 miles and Middle East-Australia/Oceania will skyrocket to 100,000 miles!
I’ve put together a short (3-minute) video on how to search for Etihad award space. Once you find the award space you simply will need to call American to book it. As a reminder, if they try to charge you a phone reservation fee ask them if you still have to pay the fee since you can’t book it online, they should waive the fee.
If there are any questions please leave them below in the comments!
I’m not sure if this problem still exists, but US AAdvantage was not able to see premium cabin award space. I (and many others) called AAdvantage Australia to book the awards.
Use Google Voice/Hangouts or Skype to call, its pretty cheap. Also, the taxes are also ~$34 but Australian Dollars so it becomes a few dollars cheaper when converted to USD!
I read about that too but I booked my trip a little over a week ago and the agent didn’t have any issues at the US number.
Hey Andy, I know you probably get a lot of ridiculous questions and this may be one. I am married with 3 kids and my travel time is limited. I would like to set a goal of trying to save enough travel awards over the next 5 years to be able to gain a couple of first class tickets to Europe or somewhere else for a 15 year anniversary trip. Do you have a place you would start that would help achieve this goal? Thanks for your time.
Hi Jake, not a ridiculous question at all. It’s an ambitious goal and is entirely achievable. What I would recommend is start focusing your spending on a credit card that can transfer its points to a variety of programs, to hedge against devaluations like just happened with American.

The demand for avocados in the U.S. is rising at a breakneck pace. In 2015, Americans consumed double the amount of avocados as compared to 2008. While this growing demand for avocados has changed the dynamics of the avocado, produce, retail, and restaurant industries as a whole, the avocado boom has had some unintended consequences. So, what does this have to do with Monarch butterflies?
To keep pace with the rising demand for avocados in the U.S., farmers in Mexico are clearing forests in order to grow more avocados. This soaring demand for avocado consumption has be met in some way, and unfortunately this is coming at the cost of deforestation in Mexico.
The economics of avocados are tempting. The fruit yields high prices in the U.S. and American taste buds are demanding more and more avocados each year. Inarguably, the desire to make some quick cash through avocados is the economic incentive leading to deforestation in Mexico.
How is this related to butterflies?
80% of avocados consumed in the U.S. come from Michoacán, Mexico, the only Mexican state permitted to export avocados to the U.S. up until 2016. Michoacán also happens to be the winter home of monarch butterflies.
Every winter, monarch butterflies start their migratory journey from Canada and the United States to the pine forests of Michoacán, covering more than 2,500 miles over the course of their trek. The black and orange spotted butterflies are attracted to the warm temperatures of the Michoacán forests and spend their winter months amongst the beautiful pine groves in this Mexican state.
As farmers clear pine forests in Michoacán to pave way for avocados, the winter home of butterflies is imperiled. Clearing forests is significantly disrupting the local ecosystem and impacting the habitat of monarch butterflies.
What avocados can I choose to protect Monarch butterflies?
Equal Exchange avocados are sourced from a small farmer cooperative in Michoacán called Pragor. The founding members of Pragor coop are multi-generational farmers who have owned their own farms for over 60 years. This land was passed on to them by their fathers and grandfathers.
1. The coop has a strict criteria for enrolling new farmer members. One of the criteria is that farmers must have been growing avocados organically for a minimum of 6 years. Since the newer avocado farms are a result of deforestation, this measure ensures coop members are not contributing to deforestation.
2. The coop has begun a tree planting project using their Fair Trade Premium dollars. Working in conjunction with the federal government, growers are given pine seedlings as a means to encourage reforestation.
3. Lastly, Pragor farmers are pioneers in organic and fair trade avocados in Mexico and the world. They are small scale farmers who own an average of 8 acres and were drawn to organic production as a means to take care of the environment and their communities. This commitment to sustainable growing predates the rising demand for avocados.
Through these measures and safeguards built into the Pragor model, the coop ensures their members are not contributing to deforestation and, in fact, are promoting reforestation efforts. Pragor members make up a small percentage of the avocado industry; they are 25 out of 17,000 registered avocado farmers in Michoacán. The unfortunate reality is that this trend of deforestation will likely continue, but the good news is that we have a choice to consume ethically grown avocados.

A gas pump. Photo via Wikimedia Commons.
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County dropped Monday to $3.522, it’s its lowest level since February 2011.
The average price has dropped 18 consecutive days and 44 of the past 45, decreasing 30 cents over that span, including 1.5 cents on Sunday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 9.7 cents less than one week ago, 22.5 cents lower than one month ago and 26.5 cents below what it was one year ago.
The falling pump prices are the result of plummeting prices for oil and wholesale gasoline, according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
“Provided no supply issues occur locally, we can expect prices to continue dropping at least in the near future,” Spring said.
World oil prices have fallen 25 percent since June due to increased American production of shale oil, steady output from Middle Eastern sources and oil traders’ worries about future economic growth.

Imagine the scene. It’s spring 2016. The Vote Leave campaign is feverishly telling the electorate that a sovereign parliament is a mere distraction. The object of prime importance is that we leave the EU – and that also means leaving the single market, leaving the European Economic Area (EEA) and leaving European-wide customs arrangements. This has to happen by fair means or foul. Power must leave Brussels, bypass parliament, and reside with a Whitehall elite. Ministers may or may not reinstate the rights and protections conveyed either by membership of the EU or the EEA, but we can all agree in any event that our jobs, rights and prosperity are of lesser importance than the British dream of rule by ministerial decree.
This counterfactual account – the true face of an honest Leave campaign – would have been dismissed as reckless by voters and would have lost a referendum. This recklessness though is no longer counterfactual, but actual, and is being debated in parliament as a result of the EU Withdrawal Bill.
Much attention has rightly focussed on the extent to which the bill represents a “power grab” by ministers. Top of my list of concerns, is the power it confers on the likes of David Davis to sit behind their departmental desks and at the stroke of a pen withdraw us from the European Economic Area and the single market.
The EEA contains the countries of the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It provides a way to stay in the single market while being outside the EU and a means of maintaining ease of trade whilst being beyond the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. Put simply, membership of the EEA satisfies the instruction provided by the referendum result without needlessly sacrificing our economy.
Now many of us might prefer to stay in the single market by remaining in the EU, but the odds don’t look good on that front and as a realist, I feel I have a responsibility to look at other options to limit the damage. I recognise the result of the referendum, but I will not allow ministers a completely free hand in deciding how we leave.
And so for the sake of the democracy leavers used to be in favour of, I have tabled an amendment to the Withdrawal Bill. My new clause would prevent a ministerial power-grab on single market membership and would require a further act of parliament before the government seeks to pull us out of the EEA. It would require MPs to determine whether Britain triggers article 127 of the EEA Agreement and would stop this being decided by ministerial whim.
This is no more than was provided by the government when parliament voted to trigger article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to pull us out of the EU and it was an issue that was pronounced by David Davis in March this year as “quite likely to come to Parliament”. But as currently drafted the bill contains no provision for MPs to vote on whether we notify other contracting parties to the EEA agreement of our intention to withdraw from that treaty. Worse still, hidden in the bill’s 19 clauses and eight schedules, its sneaks in a number of changes which could be prayed in aid by ministers as some sort of back door authorisation for taking us out of the single market.
What might this back door route look like? The repeal of the EEA Act 1993 (the British act of parliament which put the EEA Agreement onto our statute book) is part of the EU Withdrawal Bill, squirreled away in Schedule 8 Part 2. Ministers could very well claim that having repealed the agreement in domestic law, they can use the powers conferred on them under clause eight of the bill to “tidy up” the irritating issue that Britain is still officially a signatory to the EEA Treaty. They would have the power to decide that and it needn’t come back to parliament.
That isn’t the reclaimed British sovereignty people voted for and it’s not good enough. Irrespective of whether we believe the country should be out of the single market, in it for a transitional period or in it indefinitely, how can this not be a decision for parliament?
That’s what my new clause would change. It’s called democracy.
The most important issue for our country is our continued membership of the single market, along with our ability to stay in a European customs union. It is about jobs and living standards, but it is also about the money a future Labour government will need to tackle austerity. The idea that we cede all decision making on our membership of the European Economic Area to a prime minister so palpably held hostage by a cell of Brexit fanatics is one that should concern us all.
The bill has to change. The economy must come first. Parliament must make the decisions and it should be the Labour Party that leads the way.

Smart managers have long recognized the importance of diversity in the workplace. They know from experience what empirical research has shown: diverse teams outperform those made up of individual “all stars,” particularly when it comes to innovation.
The value of diversity is why Microsoft Research is pleased to join with other groups across the company to support the 2015 ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing (the Tapia Conference), the Association of Computing Machinery’s premier diversity event. The Tapia Conference brings together undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, researchers, and computing professionals of all backgrounds and ethnicities.
This year’s theme, “Diversity at Scale,” celebrates efforts that move beyond conversation and study into full implementation of diversity in all aspects of computing. Befitting our commitment to this goal, Microsoft attendees are a culturally and professionally diverse group of women and men representing different ethnicities, nationalities, and computing careers, including researchers, engineers, interns, and business executives.
Among the Microsoft leaders playing prominent roles in the conference are Microsoft Vice President Jacky Wright, who will deliver a keynote address on the power of data, and Jennifer Chayes, director of our New England and New York research labs, who will be participating in a fireside chat on big data. In addition, a number of Microsoft employees—including Jessica Lingel, Bhavini Soneji, and Fernando Diaz—will join me in supporting the career mentoring workshops, plenary sessions, poster presentations, and career fair.
An Empirical Analysis of Stop-and-Frisk in New York City looks at the social cost of the city’s controversial stop-and-frisk program and develops a simple predictive model to aid officers in making better decisions about whom to stop and under what circumstances.
Self-Balancing Bikes explores a simple re-routing scheme to improve the availability of bikes while simultaneously reducing operating costs in the United States’ largest bike-sharing program.
If you are a college student from the New York area, you are welcome to apply for the 2015 Summer School. We will be accepting applications soon, online.
On the last day of the conference, I’ll join academic and industry leaders for a one-day summit where we will map out strategies for graduating more students who are ethnic minorities, women, and people with disabilities in the field of computing. We will also discuss methods for increasing their rate of advancement once they have entered the workplace. I’m looking forward to brainstorming some great initiatives for attaining diversity at scale!

22. Pro 1:22 - "How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?"
A. Notice first of all that God here instructs men by questioning.
i. This is the first question that appears in the book of Proverbs.
ii. Interestingly, it is a rhetorical question in which the answer is implied in the question.
iii. Teaching by asking questions which are formulated to prompt the student to come to the truth without it being expressly declared to him is known as the Socratic Method, named after the Greek philosopher Socrates who is known for teaching in such manner.
iv. In truth, it should be called the Divine Method since God was teaching by this means long before Socrates.
v. The Lord began this technique of teaching in the garden of Eden after Adam and Eve sinned when He asked them some soul-searching questions (Gen 3:9, 11, 13).
a. These were the first questions God ever uttered in the history of the universe.
b. They were asked for the same purpose that God asked them to men in Proverbs chapter one: to expose their sin, cause them to acknowledge it, and bring them to repentance.
B. These searching questions asked by wisdom were pronounced in the chief place of concourse (Pro 1:21).
i. This means that the majority of people fall under this censure.
ii. Simplicity, scorning, and hatred of truth are not isolated, but rather, are systemic problems in the human race.
iii. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child (Pro 22:15).
iv. For those who are not chosen of God, wisdom's words remain foolishness, but to those who are saved, they are the power of God (1Co 1:18).
v. Wisdom's cry of repentance is aimed at, and will only be heeded by, her children.
i. This question implies that this deplorable condition has been ongoing for a long time.
ii. It also shows that it has been going on for too long.
iii. Jesus Christ, the wisdom of God (1Co 1:24), had to ask His disciples a similar question: "how long shall I suffer you?" (Mat 17:17).
iv. Thankfully, the Lord "is longsuffering to us-ward" (2Pe 3:9).
D. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
i. This rhetorical question reveals that simple ones love simplicity and suggests that they should not.
a. Simple adj - 9. Deficient in knowledge or learning; characterized by a certain lack of acuteness or quick apprehension: a. Of persons (and animals).
b. Simplicity n. - 2. a. Want of acuteness or sagacity; lack of ordinary knowledge or judgement; ignorance; rusticity. c. A simple person; a simpleton.
c. Ignorance is not a virtue but a vice.
d. Those who are more simple and ignorant than they should be, given the mind that God dealt to them, should not be proud of it, but rather ashamed.
ii. Most religions require the brain to be checked at the door.
a. "Once he does so, he has no further use for his reason. He enters the Church, an edifice illuminated by the superior light of revelation and faith. He can leave reason, like a lantern, at the door" (Explanation of Catholic Morals, p. 76)."
b. True Christianity, which is a religion of knowledge, is not so.
iii. Every Christian should be ever growing in the knowledge of God throughout his life and should never be content to remain stagnant (Pro 8:10; Pro 18:15; 2Pe 1:5; 2Pe 3:18).
E. ...and the scorners delight in their scorning...?
i. The question implies that scorners do indeed delight in their scorning.
c. Delight v. - 1. a. trans. To give great pleasure or enjoyment to; to please highly. 2. intr. (for refl.) To be highly pleased, take great pleasure, rejoice: a. in or to do (anything).
d. In other words, scorners take great pleasure in mocking, deriding, and speaking contemptuously of the wisdom of God.
ii. Unregenerate sinners love their sin which is why they will not believe and obey the gospel.
a. Jesus, the light of the world, came and preached to them, but "men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (Joh 3:19).
b. When He told them the truth, "they laughed him to scorn" (Mat 9:24).
c. They later crucified Him, fulfilling the prophecy that they would laugh him to scorn (Psa 22:7-8).
iii. Scorners are not in good company.
iv. They better heed wisdom's call to cease delighting in their scorning before they meet the fate of their fellows.
F. ...and fools hate knowledge?
i. A foolish scorner hates to be reproved which is why he will not go unto the wise (Pro 15:12).
ii. If fools don't want to be dead fools, they must stop hating knowledge and start embracing it (Hos 4:6).
iii. Knowledge would preserve the fool (Pro 2:10-11) and deliver him (Pro 11:9).
iv. But he is too stupid (Pro 12:1) to recognize it and instead bites the proverbial hand that feeds him.
G. Despite the simple's love of simplicity, the scorner's delight in scorning, and the fool's hatred of knowledge, wisdom nevertheless cries unto them to repent which brings us to the next verse.

High jump fans in Aldwincle NN14 3 are popular for athletics facilities at many schools, colleges, universities and clubs and we can install these to various specifications. Our company services include the construction of specialist high jump surfacing to a range of performance standards. We can create designs for polymeric EPDM rubber surfacing and Multisport needlepunch synthetic turf, each of which provides different characteristics for practise and competitive events. Our high jump fans installation services can cover varied price ranges dependent on specifications and existing surface conditions. A bespoke company quote may be devised to ensure you have a price which suits your budget requirements, so please fill in our contact form for more pricing details.
As well as the installation of high-jump fans, we also offer various types of equipment for high jump areas http://www.highjump.org.uk/high-jump-equipment/northamptonshire/aldwincle/ so you can make the best use of your sporting facility. These include specialist high jump landing mats, crossbars and stands to measure jump heights to IAAF standards in competitions. Each of these pieces of equipment comes in a range of price options and designs to suit what you are looking for. Our expert staff will be able to advise you on the best type of high jump fans equipment for your particular facility.
As athletics surfacing specialists in Aldwincle NN14 3 we can also carry out maintenance for high-jump fans to help keep the surface performing to its best. These services could include drag brushing and redistribution of sand infill in a Multisport synthetic surface, or pressure washing to remove dirt from a polymeric rubber track. We will also repair any damage to your surfaces if it has become worn out through heavy use. Make sure you get in touch with us through our enquiry form if you need a price for athletics surface maintenance.
All of the high jump fans and additional equipment we supply is specially designed to meet IAAF requirements so you can be sure you’ll get a professional facility. http://www.highjump.org.uk/landing-mats/northamptonshire/aldwincle/ may be supplied in various area sizes to meet the requirements of your organisation. For example a school recreational facility would not need the same size of high-jump landing mat as a professional sports club. This will help to cut costs for your project if you are only looking to install a simple practise area rather than a facility for competitive use. The professional crossbars and stands our company offers also come in a number of specifications, allowing you to choose the right specification for your individual project. This will ensure you have a bespoke high-jump area which suits your budget and performance needs.
Recreational school features closest to you can be installed to suit nearly every site and spending plan and enable essential athletics skills to be taught and practiced, enjoyed and even developed. Many establishments decide to have long jump run ups in addition to high-jump fans installed within their compact athletics facility http://www.highjump.org.uk/high-jump-construction/northamptonshire/aldwincle/ Where there is a shortage of space, we will reduce the dimensions and design of certain sport facilities. The flexibleness of the design of compact sports and athletics facilities means that they are highly relevant to a variety of different cases. For a lot of projects, current sports activity and play areas can be enhanced in academic institutions to create a more varied sporting provision. Children of each school key stages may benefit from self improvement when learning additional skills through the different sports. One good reason it is important to improve your athletics facility would be to encourage kids to participate in these sports. If a school is looking for a much more cost effective basic level product, the compact facilities are great for cutting costs if you only need a recreational space. If you'd like the children at your establishment to develop physical activity skills, it is suggested that you have a smaller sized facility put in as FUNdamentals are presented.
For more information on the AAA standards, or the compact athletics high jump facilities in Aldwincle NN14 3 please feel free to contact us.

The weather outside is heating up, and what a better way to celebrate than a feast with family or friends? I don’t know about you, but sliders always sound amazing. This pork tenderloin & onion jam sliders recipe by our partner, Peri & Sons Farms is one to die for.
Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a heat-proof skillet on the middle rack to preheat with the oven. Pat the pork dry and cut off any large pieces of surface fat. Rub it generously with salt and pepper.
Remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts and film the bottom with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Set the pork in the skillet and return to the oven. Roast for 10 minutes, then flip the pork to the other side. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the internal temperature is 140°F to 145°F.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board, tent with foil, and rest for at least 10 minutes. The pork can be served immediately, or cooled completely and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium to large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes, until they begin to get soft and the bottom of the pan begins to brown. Add the water or chicken broth, scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan while the broth reduces. Add the balsamic vinegar, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for about 5 more minutes. Add the apricot jam and stir to combine. The sauce will thicken but should still be easily stirred. The sauce can be kept refrigerated for about a week.
To serve cut the tenderloin into thin slices. Divide the sliced pork between the rolls. Top with onion jam and coleslaw, if desired.

It's the wave of the future, even in an area that has plenty of 'no-plastic' businesses.
There was a time when I didn't use plastic very much to make purchases. I carried cash and used it to pay for just about everything.
That was about 20 years ago and I've since switched to almost exclusively using my debit card.
Of course that doesn't work in every business in Berks County. There are still those who still eschew accepting cards, or demand a minimum to use them.
There's nothing like attempting to pick up an order of cheesesteaks, pulling out the debit card and getting a glare from the person behind the counter with a terse "we don't accept credit cards." That's followed by a quick scramble to find an ATM as the sandwiches become cold on the counter.
I have not darkened the doors of a handful of businesses for many years because of that.
So imagine my amusement when I came across this news item from down the road in Philadelphia.
Apparently, there's a move in city council to ban cashless stores in the city.
I never knew there was such a thing, but apparently a few restaurants that cater to millennial clientele will only accept debit or credit cards for all transactions.
Want to pay with a $20 bill? Nope. You'll likely get a terse "we don't accept cash."
Proponents say it's a way to speed up lines, and reduce the risk of being robbed.
That has drawn the attention of the council, which recently passed a bill out of its Law and Government Committee that prohibits retail locations from refusing to accept cash or charging cash-paying customers a higher price. Violators face up to a $2,000 fine.
It could be brought up before the full council this week.
The reasoning is that about 6 percent of people in the Philadelphia region is "unbanked" — having no access to credit or bank accounts — according the story in the Philadelphia Inquirer and another 22 percent are considered "underbanked" with very limited banking services.
A similar bill has already passed in New Jersey and it waiting for the governor's signature.
Proponents of the bill have said that a cashless future is inevitable, and they simply want to give the unbanked a chance to catch up.
"It's about making sure that all of our citizens are included in our future," Kevin Thomas Jr., from Drexel University's Center for Hunger Free Communities, told the Inquirer.
It will be interesting to see if the cash-only places do the same.

(1) Whenever any natural person residing in this state desires to avail himself or herself of the benefit of the provisions of the constitution and laws exempting property as a homestead from forced sale under any process of law, he or she may make a statement, in writing, containing a description of the real property, mobile home, or modular home claimed to be exempt and declaring that the real property, mobile home, or modular home is the homestead of the party in whose behalf such claim is being made. Such statement shall be signed by the person making it and shall be recorded in the circuit court.
(3) The clerk shall mail a copy of the notice of homestead to the judgment lienor, by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address shown in the most recent recorded judgment or accompanying affidavit, and to any other person designated in the most recent recorded judgment or accompanying affidavit to receive the notice of homestead, and shall certify to such service on the face of such notice and record the notice. Notwithstanding the use of certified mail, return receipt requested, service shall be deemed complete upon mailing.
(4) A lien pursuant to chapter 55 of any lienor upon whom such notice is served, who fails to institute an action for a declaratory judgment to determine the constitutional homestead status of the property described in the notice of homestead or to file an action to foreclose the judgment lien, together with the filing of a lis pendens in the public records of the county in which the homestead is located, within 45 days after service of such notice shall be deemed as not attaching to the property by virtue of its status as homestead property as to the interest of any buyer or lender, or his or her successors or assigns, who takes under the contract of sale or loan commitment described above within 180 days after the filing in the public records of the notice of homestead. This subsection shall not act to prohibit a lien from attaching to the real property described in the notice of homestead at such time as the property loses its homestead status.

Whenever a levy is made upon the lands, tenements, mobile home, or modular home of such person whose homestead has not been set apart and selected, such person, or the person’s agent or attorney, may in writing notify the officer making such levy, by notice under oath made before any officer of this state duly authorized to administer oaths, at any time before the day appointed for the sale thereof, of what such person regards as his or her homestead, with a description thereof; and the remainder only shall be subject to sale under such levy.
History.- s. 2, ch. 1715, 1869; RS 1999; GS 2521; RGS 3876; CGL 5783; s. 3, ch. 77-299; s. 2, ch. 83-40; s. 1196, ch. 95-147.
If the creditor in any execution or process sought to be levied is dissatisfied with the quantity of land selected and set apart, and shall himself or herself, or by his or her agent or attorney, notify the officer levying, the officer shall at the creditor’s request cause the same to be surveyed, and when the homestead is not within the corporate limits of any town or city, the person claiming said exemption shall have the right to set apart that portion of land belonging to him or her which includes the residence, or not, at the person’s option, and if the first tract or parcel does not contain 160 acres, the said officer shall set apart the remainder from any other tract or tracts claimed by the debtor, but in every case taking all the land lying contiguous until the whole quantity of 160 acres is made up. The person claiming the exemption shall not be forced to take as his or her homestead any tract or portion of a tract, if any defect exists in the title, except at the person’s option. The expense of such survey shall be chargeable on the execution as costs; but if it shall appear that the person claiming such exemption does not own more than 160 acres in the state, the expenses of said survey shall be paid by the person directing the same to be made.
History.- s. 3, ch. 1715, 1869; s. 1, ch. 1944, 1873; RS 2000; GS 2522; RGS 3877; CGL 5784; s. 1197, ch. 95-147.
After such survey has been made, the officer making the levy may sell the property levied upon not included in such property set off in such manner.
History.- s. 4, ch. 1715, 1869; RS 2001; GS 2523; RGS 3878; CGL 5785.

(1) When a levy is made by writ of execution, writ of attachment, or writ of garnishment upon personal property which is allowed by law or by the State Constitution to be exempt from levy and sale, the debtor may claim such personal property to be exempt from sale by making, within 15 days after the date of the levy, an inventory of his or her personal property. The inventory shall show the fair market valuation of the property listed and shall have an affidavit attached certifying that the inventory contains a correct list of all personal property owned by the debtor in this state and that the value shown is the fair market value of the property. The debtor shall designate the property listed in the schedule which he or she claims to be exempt from levy and sale.
(2) The original inventory and affidavit shall be filed with the court which issued the writ. The debtor, by mail or hand delivery, shall promptly serve one copy on the judgment creditor and furnish one copy to the sheriff who executed the writ. If the creditor desires to object to the inventory, he or she shall file an objection with the court which issued the writ within 5 days after service of the inventory, or he or she shall be deemed to admit the inventory as true. If the creditor does not file an objection, the clerk of the court shall immediately send the case file to the court issuing the writ, and the court shall promptly issue an order exempting the items claimed. Such order shall be sent by the court to the sheriff directing him or her to promptly redeliver to the debtor any exempt property under the levy and to sell any nonexempt property under the levy according to law.
(3) If the creditor files an objection, he or she shall promptly serve, by mail or hand delivery, one copy on the debtor and furnish one copy to the sheriff who executed the writ. Upon the filing of an objection, the clerk shall immediately send the case file to the court issuing the writ, and the court shall automatically schedule a prompt evidentiary hearing to determine the validity of the objection and shall enter its order therein describing the exempt and nonexempt property. Upon its issuance, the order shall be sent by the court to the sheriff directing him or her to promptly redeliver to the debtor any exempt property under the levy and to sell the nonexempt property under the levy according to law.
(4) The court shall appoint a disinterested appraiser to assist in its evidentiary hearing unless the debtor and creditor mutually waive the appointment of such appraiser. The appraiser shall take and file an oath that he or she will faithfully appraise the property at its fair market value and that he or she will file a signed and sworn appraisal with the court as required by law. Notice of the time and place of the inspection of the property for the purpose of its appraisal shall be given by the appraiser to the debtor, creditor, and sheriff, at least 24 hours before the inspection is made. The appraiser shall be entitled to a reasonable fee as determined by the court for his or her services. The appraiser’s fee shall be taxed as costs, but no costs shall be assessed against the debtor for the proceedings under this section if the debtor prevails on his or her claim of exemption. The court may require the creditor to deposit a cash bond, a surety bond, or other security, conditioned on the creditor’s obligation to pay reasonable appraisal expenses, not to exceed $100.
(5) During the pendency of proceedings under this section, the sheriff shall safeguard the property seized under the writ, and the creditor shall deposit sufficient moneys with the sheriff to pay the cost of such safeguarding until the property is sold or redelivered to the debtor. When the sheriff receives a copy of a court order identifying which property has been declared exempt and which property has been declared not exempt and ordering the sale of the property not exempt from levy, he or she shall sell the property.
(6) The party who successfully maintains his or her claim at the time of the evidentiary hearing may be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and shall be entitled to costs. The costs shall include, but not be limited to, appraisal fees, storage fees, and such other costs incurred as a result of the levy.
(7) No inventory or schedule to exempt personal property from sale shall be accepted prior to a levy on the property.
History.- s. 5, ch. 85-272; s. 61, ch. 87-224; s. 1199, ch. 95-147.
Upon the completion of the inventory the person entitled to the exemption, or the person’s agent or attorney, may select from such an inventory an amount of property not exceeding, according to such appraisal, the amount of value exempted; but if the person so entitled, or the person’s agent or attorney, does not appear and make such selection, the officer shall make the selection for him or her, and the property not so selected as exempt may be sold.
History.- s. 8, ch. 1715, 1869; RS 2004; GS 2526; RGS 3881; CGL 5788; s. 1200, ch. 95-147.

The circuit courts have equity jurisdiction upon bill filed by a creditor or other person interested in enforcing any unsatisfied judgment or decree, to determine whether any property, real or personal, claimed to be exempt, is so exempt, and in case it be not exempt, the court shall, by its decree subject it, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to the satisfaction of said judgment or decree and may enjoin the sheriff or other officer from setting apart as exempt property, real or personal, which is not exempt, and may annul all exemptions made and set apart by the sheriff or other officer.

This is a classic '60s, hippie, vegetarian dish that features silver beet's often overlooked stems.
First make the pastry by placing 220g of wholemeal flour in a food processor. Turn it on and add 110g of cold, salted butter in five or six lumps, one at a time, until the mixture looks crumbly. Add a little cold water until the pastry forms a ball - it should take 2-3 tbsp. Wrap the pastry in cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Line a 24cm tart shell with the pastry and bake in a 180C oven for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash 6 silver beet leaves, including stems. Separate the leaves from the stems and plunge each separately into salted boiling water. The leaves should take about 2 minutes and the stems about 7 minutes. When they have cooled, squeeze as much water from the leaves as possible and roughly chop them. Slice the stems into 2cm pieces. Mix stems and leaves in a bowl with 100g of cooked brown rice, 200g of grated tasty cheese and 1 egg.
Season with salt and pepper and bake in a preheated 180C oven for 20-25 minutes.

Most councils will have their own template for the initiating staff member to complete. The enthusiastic employee will, in all likelihood, be asked to detail the cashable and non-cashable savings and analyse tangible and non-tangible benefits. They will be asked to look at the cost of implementing the project, identify how the funding will be accessed and possibly asked to complete some form of complex return on investment calculation.
I am a big supporter of the business case model. It forces managers to think seriously about the costs of what they propose to do and tries to force people to identify the benefits as well. It reminds managers and project proposers that the money they are spending is ‘real’ contributed by tax payers or borrowed prudentially with the requirement to repay interest against that.
It also provides a useful tool to compare different projects.
However, as we get more sophisticated with our business cases we also get more reliant on them to tell us everything we need to know about the decisions we choose to make.
A few years ago I was talking about a project I was running to a more senior colleague of mine from another local authority. I was bemoaning the fact that I was finding it difficult to identify the savings and benefits from my project in numerical terms although anecdotally I was certain there were real benefits from the project.

This is a South Beach recipe that I got from my aunt a while ago. I've made it several times and REALLY love it. It's very "hearty" and nice to know you're not shoveling a ton of "bad carbs" in your body at the same time.
A full pan can feed 5-6 people easily. Sometimes we cut the recipe in half just for the two of us if we don't want a ton left over.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine onion, peppers, tomatoes, picante, cumin, & garlic. Bring to boil, simmer 10 minutes. Stir in beans. Spread 1/3 mix in baking dish, top with tortillas. add 1 c. of cheese, add 1/3 mix. Top with tortillas. Then rest of mix. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with rest of cheese. Let stand 10 minutes. Top with olives, tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream.
This is one of my sister's favorite dishes that I've made and it was a big hit in our family, so I thought I'd share it here. I got this recipe out of the Taste of Home's Annual Recipes cookbook for 2006.
This meal can be served on both pasta, or rice, and can even stand alone for those watching carbs. We use whole wheat pasta with our's and it's been fantastic!
Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken and shake to coat. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil on both sides. Remove chicken to a greased 9x13" baking dish.
In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic until tender. Add the tomatoes, pearl onions, broth, tomato paste, and seasonings. Bring to a boil; pour over chicken. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Add olives and bake 15 minutes longer. Discard bay leaf. Serve with pasta or rice.
A couple of my "secrets..."
There's two meals that I eat at least once, if not twice a week. Scrambled eggs and grilled cheese sandwiches. I don't eat these two things together, obviously, but they are a favorite around here.
There are obvious ways to make both, but did you know that adding a little bit of dill weed to your scrambled eggs really adds a lot of flavor and gives it some kick? And did you know that adding a dash of oregano on the inside of each buttered slice of bread for your grilled cheese will make it even more "melt-in-your-mouth" good??
Try these tips out. Tell me what you think.
P.S. I can't take full credit of the oregano grilled cheese...my husband actually came up with that one.
As most of you know, a couple weekends ago we hosted a huge Fondue Valentine's party at our house for about 20 of our church group friends. It was a BLAST! Luckily I didn't really have to provide all the food for that many people (everyone brought stuff to fondue), but I did want to share an AMAZING dipping sauce recipe that my friend, Rachel, brought for the evening. Oooh! It's heavenly!!!
Thanks, Rachel, for allowing me to share your recipe!
1/2 - 3/4 cup. parsley or 1/4 c.
You have to trust me when I say this is, by far, the most amazing egg bake you will ever have. I'm serious. My mom has been making this for us all our lives. It has been a huge hit with all our family and friends over the years and it's time I share it with you all. Try it out. Trust me...you won't be disappointed!
way it fits in pan) & put butter side up on bottom of greased 9 X 13 pan.
flakes and drizzle with melted butter.
Picture to follow as soon as I can get it to upload!!! Sorry about that.
An oldie, but a goody recipe that I got from my cousin, Shannon. It's her husband, Joe's, favorite.
So easy...and oh soooooo good.
Are you ready for this??? Are you really ready for this deliciously moist, extremely low cal, low carb, and low fat everything cake??? I didn't think it could truly be as good as everyone was saying, but I have to say...this is one of the best cakes I've ever had. Ever.
You're gonna be shocked. I was. All you do is mix one 12 oz. can of diet dr. pepper (or your pop/soda of choice) with a box of white cake mix. Bake according to directions. No water added, no eggs, no oil. JUST the can of pop. The pop takes the place of the other ingredients.
Top with frosting or cool whip. It is HEAVENLY.
Trust me. Try it and tell me what you think. It's ready in half an hour. And be prepared for one of the best desserts you've ever had, my friends. Go for it!
Mix cake mix only with can of pop. Bake according to directions on cake mix box. DO NOT ADD WATER, EGGS, OR OIL.
I got this recipe off the nest web forum I participate in and was it posted by "ChiOCutie." I'm so glad she posted it as it was AMAZING. Chris and I have a little obsession with Chipotle and we usually make their guac recipe, but this was almost better than that...*gasp* For real. Try it.
I wanted something a little bit "hearty" for the Super Bowl this evening. It's so easy to get stuck in the "pizza, chicken wings, velveeta hot dip, etc" rut, so I wanted to try an actual meal this time. Since I'm all about the comfort food, this recipe was at the top of my list to try and what better night than for the Super Bowl????
Brown meat in large skillet on medium heat; drain. Add onions and peppers; cook and stir 5 min. or until tender.
Add beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce and chili powder; mix well. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 30 min., stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle 3 Tbsp. cheese onto the bottom of each of six soup bowls; top with chili and remaining cheese.
A very quick and easy recipe that you could whip up for a relatively lighter lunch...or dinner...when you're in a bit of a hurry, but still looking for something with a bit of substance. We've had these twice now, and both times we've been really impressed by how great they are.
In a large skillet, saute chicken, onion and cumin in butter until chicken juices run clear. Reduce heat to low. Add pecans and sour cream; cook and stir until heated through. Spoon about 1/2 cupful down the center of each tortilla; top with cheese, salsa and lettuce if desired. Fold in sides.

Stokane School celebrates it’s 100th anniversary this year. Congratulations to our Parish Priest, our teachers, parents and all concerned for making it possible. I will relate what I know of my late father’s schooldays first. He was born in 1891, the year the school was built. His school days began in 1897. He learned to write on a slate with a slate pencil. As he learned and was promoted to higher classes he used a black lead pencil and a jotter. They also wrote with pen and ink on copies which were kept in the school. These copies contained school-work such as Dictation, Compositions and letter-writing. Most of the homework they did were sums and these were copied each morning from each other on the way to school. When my father was asked in school to do one of the sums he could not do so. The Master often wondered where he got the correct answers. There was a man named John Rafter who lived on their way to school, and he often helped them with their sums. The Master had his doubts so he ordered all sums for homework to be done in ink. One boy spoke up and said “Please Sir, we cannot write with ink on jotters”. The Master replied “I’ll soon fix that”. He went to the press and took out an armful of copies, gave one to each of them and told them to bring him 2d each the next day. The farthing was in circulation in those days, so between them they collected 2d and bought a bottle of ink which they hid in John Rafter’s ditch. They still continued to copy with the help of John Rafter. Tony Keane now lives on the farm then owned by John Rafter. The school was heated with turf in an open fireplace. Each child carried two sods of turf to school which was put into a large wooden box near the fireplace under the watchful eye of the Master. Sometimes they forgot the sods of turf and then they would take one large sod each from either Thady Foody’s or Michael Langan’s turf stack. Both houses were very near the school. They would break the large sod in two parts. If the Master noticed the fresh break in the sods he knew they were stolen and they were slapped with a cane for stealing, two slaps if the turf was taken from Thady Foody’s stack and one slap if they were taken from Michael Langan’s stack. The reason being that Denis Rouse, the Schoolmaster was married to Thady Foody’s sister and he was staying with them while his own house was being built.
I began school in the Spring of 1930. The school itself was a plain four-cornered structure with two rooms, one was larger than the other and was known as the schoolroom, the other room was much smaller and was known as the classroom. In the schoolroom there were long desks going two-thirds of the way across the floor except for a narrow passage between the end and back wall. Close to the other end were two rows of seats lengthwise and facing the front wall. When I began school there were three teachers - The Master, Denis Rouse; his wife, Second Assistant, and Miss Bridget Maye, First Assistant. The Master taught 4th, 5th and 6th Classes and they were seated in the large desks. Mrs. Rouse taught Infants and 1st Class and they sat on the two rows of seats. Miss Maye taught 2nd and 3rd Classes in the classroom.
As I was the eldest of the family and had no one going to school before me, those who brought me had a hard time trying to get me started. I did not want to leave “Mammy”. They coaxed me in every way they could and in so doing they said there was a sweethouse at the school with all kinds of lovely sweets in it. They then had to tell me to go easy in case I would fall. When we got there the first place I wanted to see was the sweethouse. They put me off saying I had to go into the school first to put my name on the roll book. When we went in the Master asked the boy who brought me who I was and he then thanked him for taking care of me. He took me to Mrs. Rouse and said “Here is an addition to your troubles”. At roll call we all stood up and were marched in single file around the room to the Master ‘s table . He called your name and you answered “Ta me anseo”. Mrs. Rouse was standing to one side and had told me what to answer when my name was called. When roll call was over, the Master told me to stand by his table and asked me if I could sing. I said “No Sir”. He then asked if I had a poem for him and again I said “No Sir”. He then asked me if I could do anything for him and I said I would say a song for him. “Good boy” he said, “let me hear it”. I began: “My Uncle Johnny has a rabbit, he thought he was a buck, he ran around the garden, with his tail cocked up”.“Good boy, damn but that is the best I have heard today” said the Master. He then told Mrs. Rouse to take me back to my place and find out what else I might know. At eleven o’clock, there were prayers and we were then let out for a five minute break to get some fresh air. I noticed all the boys rushing up the yard to where the old closet was. I asked the boy who had me in his care where they were all going and he told me they were going for sweets. I said “Why do we not hurry or they will all be gone on us”. However he held me back until the rush was over, then he brought me by the hand into the old closet. I was so disappointed, the place was empty except for three or four big boys having a smoke. They told me what the closet was for and I was glad in a way as at this stage I needed relief, so I forgot about the sweets. All boys wore short trousers in those days and did not wear long trousers until they left school. Younger boys wore a pullover or “gansey” as they were also called. Older boys wore jackets or “tags which belonged to suits they had for First Communion or Confirmation. They also wore stockings with turn down tops embroidered with fancy needlework. As most pupils had to cross the fields they all wore boots, there were no wellingtons in those days. When I was young and in junior classes I had a great attraction for waistcoats. When my father came from Mass on a Sunday he would take off his jacket before dinner. I was really fascinated with his waistcoat, the silver guard going from a buttonhole to the watch in his pocket. I had my mother annoyed to get me a suit with a waistcoat and a shiny satin back. She would say “With God’s help I will get you one for your First Holy Communion”, but then again I was disappointed. It was a lovely blue velvet suit, the jacket like any other only it buttoned up to the neck with a white satin bow at the collar. The sleeves had cuffs much like a shirt, again trimmed in white satin with bows only the ribbon for those was much narrower. I looked very smart, even if I say so myself. For Confirmation I had a lovely blue serge suit, this time with a waistcoat but no tie. With it was worn a white tenths shirt with the collar out over the collar of the jacket (double-breasted).
In summer we went barefoot to school from mid May until mid October depending on the weather. As our feet were growing fast we usually got new boots for the start of the winter each year. These boots were made of strong upper leather with heavy leather soles with six rows of hobnails, depending of course on the size of the boot. They also had iron tips on the heels. These boots were powerful for sliding on frozen ponds on our way to and from school. The oil lamp was often lit when we got home from school in this kind of weather. Then in wet weather you had to be nimble of foot as there was a slough we had to cross with 26 stepping stones and if you missed one of these you had to sit all day with wet feet. If the teacher noticed the wet shoes you had to take them off, wring your socks and dry the lot at the fire. We would never tell if we were wet, neither would we tell at home and of course we never told our parents about being slapped at school because we got no satisfaction. All they ever said was you must have deserved it. There was a hall at the entrance to the school. This hall was used to hold the children’s coats and also as a storage space for turf. At this time each family brought a cart of turf once a year to the school. The entrance gate was too small for a cart so the turf was thrown in across the wall. Ten or twelve of the senior boys would be sent out to take it in at once and build it in the hall. When out for a short break or at play time boys who smoked got their best chance but for those craving to have a smoke during school hours there was a problem. I saw a boy one day who wanted to get out to have a smoke and he had no way of lighting a cigarette. He waited for his chance. When all were busy writing essays or the like and the teacher was engaged at something else he gathered some papers from under the desk where he sat, rolled them into a ball, then walked up to the fire to burn them as rubbish and at the same time light a piece of old shoe lace which he held between his fingers and would stay lit for some time. He then spoke in Irish to the teacher “Bfuil cad agam dul amach mais e do thoil e” to which the teacher replied “Be off” in a tone of annoyance. As soon as he got outside the door he lit his cigarette and then went to the back of the school where he could smoke out of view of passing people.
In the boy’s yard at the back of the school there was a long low seat like a kneeling board about fourteen foot long. Mrs. Rouse used it for the Infants Class to sit on when she had class outside on a sunny day. A short time after I began school I broke that seat. This is how it happened. One day during playtime this big fellow of about sixteen years of age and doing his third year in seventh class, stood on the end of the seat and defied me to lift him. I had to strain my neck to look at him. I bent down, caught the end of the seat, tried my best but could not move him. I told him to keep in a bit and then noticed my efforts were improving so I got him to move in a little further and as I was gaining height with each lift I got him to keep moving until he was standing exactly over the centre foot of the seat. It came up with reasonable ease but he was still standing there so the seat was in two halves. The Master happened to be out in the yard that afternoon and he saw the broken seat and inquired as to what happened to it. The big fellow said I broke it. The Master asked me about it and I told him the truth. The big fellow got two slaps, not for breaking the seat but for putting the blame on me.
(I) Name the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost.
(2) Name the Seven Deadly Sins.
(3) Name the Seven Sacraments.
I rattled them off no problem. Those who went to the Bishop got away with simple questions and those were asked in his own words and of course the pupils answered in their own words.
The time I write about now is some time after the Master retired. Some people brought shocking wet turf to the school and to light a fire with this was almost impossible. Some of it was “Spodach”. Mrs. Rouse would not go to much trouble to light it. Instead she would send someone to the Master’s house for some coals. I well remember the day she sent me with the old ash bucket. When I told the Master what I wanted he told me to sit down and he would be with me in a minute. Firstly he cut a large slice of home made currant cake from end to end, he then put a thick layer of blackcurrant jam on it, told me to take my time and eat every bit of it and he would take me back to the school. To me this was “living it up”. He came down to the school with me and brought a box of dry turf and he came in to his dear wife and a got a good fire going. When I came out to Miss Maye it was a different story. She would have two of us boys on our knees on either side of the grate giving every second blow to the fire. We were often black in the face by the time we got the fire going.
For one moment I would not like anybody who reads what I have already written about my old school days to get the impression that I disliked my teachers. This was not the case. I was very fond of my teachers and respected them. They taught me most of what I know. They taught us good manners, how to respect and obey our parents and our elders. Their job was a difficult one and they have long gone to their eternal glory and I am sure God has rewarded them well.

The slightly bizarre story of how I struggled to get rid of stuff that I hadn’t even used for 12 years.
Visualising basketball free throws proven to be almost as effective as real practice.
The real life story of how a tall, thin middle-aged man with a hardly noticable pot belly makes some life changes for the better.

Be certain that mistakes will be made, but kindly, learn from them. Iterate and improve. Again and again. No product is fully made in the beginning. There is always room for improvement.
