Asselborn: US president does not need to respond to provocations every single time
The ongoing tensions between North Korea and the USA have European states worried enough to make statements.
Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg’s foreign affairs minister, has joined calls for de-escalation directed at the US administration.
In an interview with RTL radio on Thursday 10 August, Asselborn said that this “goading each other” was dangerous, referring to US president Donald Trump’s statement on Tuesdaythe UN security council passed unanimously wide-ranging economic sanctions (UN security council resolution 2371/2017) against North Korea last week, a leaked US intelligence report stated on Monday that Pyongyang hadand would continue its nuclear missile programme. This prompted Trump’s statement above and, on Wednesday 9 August, he tweeted that he had “renovated and modernized  before.”
The North Korean government’s response was its most public and detailed threat to date.dy.  the BBC has reported.
German foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel said that Trump was using the same rhetoric and aggressive tone as North Korea, and that he was worried that it escalates and results in a military conflict.
The spokesman of the French government, Christophe Castaner, declared that
“the determination of the American president, as it was expressed last night, was the same determination that every American president would have shown, because they cannot accept that a part of their territory could be the target of nuclear missiles.”
He added that France called for “responsibility and de-escalation”, and that France was ready to contribute anything for “a peaceful solution.”
Asselborn said: “Thetime.” He added that he “hoped the level-headed people in the US, such as secretary of state Tillerson, can come out on top.”
According to Politico, EU commission spokeswoman Catherine Ray said Pyongyang is in “outright violation” of international commitments, but the EU “excludes” any military solution to the standoff.”

Kimberly Webb Joyner, my first wife and the mother of my children, has been gone a decade.
Ten years ago this morning, Kimberly Webb Joyner, died in her sleep at 41. In so many ways, it seems like a lifetime ago.
Kim was my partner, helpmate, and confidante.
I still haven’t told Katie. She knows something unusual is going on, since the paramedics came at a little after 1 this morning and the police didn’t leave until well after 4. But she seemed pretty much herself, requesting her favorite cartoons and playing with toys until I got her back to sleep a little while ago. Sadly, neither of my little girls are likely to remember their mommy other than from photos and videos.
 They’ve seen lots of pictures (many, including the one atop the post, still hang in the hallway outside their bedrooms), seen some videos, and heard lots of stories but they were just too young.
Katie was precocious so, even shy of her 3rd birthday, we were able to have a conversation about her mother later that morning. She didn’t fully understand, of course, but (per both my natural instincts and some Internet research conducted in the wee hours) I basically repeated variations of, “Mommy died. She can’t come back. She loved you very much.” She was probably more confused than sad, simply because of her developmental stage. She showed more outward signs of grief a few months back when our old dog, Molly, died.
It became clear from the aforementioned throngs of people showing up that, including a few folks hurt that they weren’t going to have a speaking role in the funeral ceremony. Despite not having eaten much for a week* and being nauseated from a combination of stress and sleeplessness, I addressed as many of those issues as I could in a 30-plus-minute speech.
I’m wired oddly. I frustrate easily and get more stressed out than is reasonable by a lot of everyday irritations. But I tend to be incredibly calm in a crisis. I’m mission-oriented and, likely owing to my military training, backward planning comes naturally to me. So, I focus on the task at hand but also think several steps ahead and see intermediate tasks that need to be completed. While often useful, it can be aggravating for those around me.
So, for example, a few hours after Kim died, our handyman came for an appointment I had of course forgotten about to install a new garbage disposal. I broke the news to him and he offered to come back some other time but, no, I was going to have a lot of people in the house in the coming days, most of them eating, and a garbage disposal would be useful. I had him back the week after the funeral to knock out some painting and other household projects that we’d been meaning to get around to (Kim was less decisive than me on things like paint colors). I had the time and wanted to get the household in order.
I continued to live in the house we had bought together in 2006 until moving to my current house on the other side of the county two summers ago when I remarried. Aside from the practicalities—the old house was big but functionally only had three bedrooms and we needed at least four for the blended family—it was a fresh start. This house is ours together. And, one of the few upsides of COVID is that my oldest stepdaughter, who had been in Philadelphia halfway through her junior year at Temple, moved in with us and stayed for a year and a half because school went remote. She now has a good job locally and has a place of her own just a 45-minute drive away. My youngest stepdaughter lives on campus at George Mason but is only 20 minutes away and comes to a place she now considers “home” with regularity. That’s rather remarkable, considering they were living three hours and three states away when their mother and I started dating.
**We remain on good terms. But Kim was the basis of that relationship and it would have been odd for me to show up at the office and weird to invite me to company social events, turning a celebration of their hard work into a reminder of her passing.
It’s probably a moot point anyway. This past year has me thinking it is a promise I am unlikely to be able to keep.
Very well remembered. Those anniversaries with a ‘zero’ have a strangely strong impact, I find. Bless you & family.
This I remember, I’d come to OTB not long before. It was a shock reading it at the time as the two of you were so young. Loss is never forgotten, grief, anger, acceptance, face responsibilities and continue life.
 Thanks for sharing..
Glad that things turned out so well for all of you. Strange that it’s been a decade, I still remember my shock at the post vividly. Tempus fugit.
I appreciate the follow-up, and how you’ve moved on successfully. It’s inspiring and it helps as I now overcome an unwanted divorce. You have done your best for your girls, and they are very lucky to have you to look up to.
So glad that you are able to retain the past while moving into the future. A nice balance.
Thanks for sharing this James. I do remember that post well. And I thought it was remarkable how well you handled such a sudden and tragic change in your life. I doubt I could do it as well as you did.


Will the Inflationary Hurricane Blow Your Savings Away?
He opposed the bailout of AIG in 2008. He initially approved the Treasury's decision to let Lehman Brothers go bust. He changed his mind a year later. So, he does not share the views of Austrian School economists, who would have favored doing nothing to bail out either of those over-leveraged outfits.
Meltzer then refers to the recent decision of the FED to pay interest on bank reserves. He says that Bernanke claims that this will keep banks from lending out money. This policy, Bernanke says, will contain inflation. Meltzer comments: "I"
Second, this is not a policy of unwinding, i.e., a reversal of the FED's expansion of its balance sheet. This is a policy of sterilization. The money put on deposit with the FED is not loaned into the economy. This negates the effect of the fractional reserve process. Money not spent into circulation is money that does not multiply.
The monetary base serves as the legal foundation of a future expansion of money. All it will take to begin the expansion is a series of decisions by commercial bankers to pull their banks' money away from the FED. The act of removing these funds creates the loans. With the exception of reserves held at the FED, every entry on the liability (deposits) side of a bank's ledger must be offset by assets (loans). Banks cannot withdraw reserves without lending.
The exit strategy is incomplete. Proponents are guilty of practicing economics without prices. They never say what the interest rate on reserves must be to get banks to hold the approximately $1 trillion of reserves above the minimum they're legally required to hold. That's the critical question.
The classic example of this obvious fallacy – no reference to actual interest rates in a discussion of the FED's policy of paying interest on commercial bank reserves – is a paper written by two staff economists of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It appeared last July. Incredibly, the article was accompanied by a disclaimer that its conclusions may not reflect the views of the NY FED.
The fact that one of the most judicious students of the FED has gone public with this criticism is significant. Anyone who thinks that the present situation is likely to be maintained had better give up hope of a recovery. The unemployment rate will stay high. The Federal deficit will go higher. The Federal government's share of GDP will rise. If the banks start lending, the FED will be trapped. It will have to adopt a new policy. It refuses to say what.

The environmental services included in the asset account are, vegetation in the mountains, moorlands and heath (MMH) area removing pollutants, so the asset life is set at 100 years.
The value of the asset is obtained by estimating the net present value (NPV) of the asset. The annual value of all ecosystem services, in this publication, are projected for the life of the asset and discounted. For more information on monetary flow and asset accounts, please refer to the Principles of natural capital accounting publication.
The figures presented in this section are a partial benefit valuation of the ecosystem services that MMH provides, as only carbon sequestration, air pollution removal and recreation services are included.
Table 17 presents the asset value per ecosystem service for the years 2014 and 2017. The overall natural capital asset value in MMH in the UK was estimated at £20,052 million in 2014, with carbon sequestration accounting for approximately half of this. The asset prices calculated for recreation are based on England data being upscaled to obtain UK estimates.
From 2014 to 2017, the overall asset value was estimated to increase by 0.44%, to £20,141 million. In this year carbon sequestration accounted for over half of this, at 52.5%.
The Natural Capital Team is currently working on improving the methods used to calculate UK estimates and so some figuresthe MMH accounts.
Download this table Table 17: UK mountains, moorlands and heath asset values (£ millions) by service, 2014 and 2017.xls .csv
The services presented in this section display a £20 billion annual benefit in 2017, with the value set to increase year-on-year. The estimated annual costs of maintenance and restoration for MMH, as discussed in Section 8, is £0.3 billion, over a 10-year period.
The value that the MMH habitat provides is approximately 67 times larger than the costs of maintaining and restoring MMH. However, the estimated value of the benefits from the ecosystem services are only a partial benefit valuation, whilst the Rayment (2017) model presents a thorough costing. The value that ecosystem services in MMH provide is likely to be much larger, if all ecosystem services were captured, and so the two are currently difficult to compare.
Further, it was not possible to conduct a detailed cost-benefit analysis as it is not fully understood how improved condition of the habitat will affect the value of the services it provides.Nôl i'r tabl cynnwys
Future development of the extent account would aim to split out upland and lowland bog and upland and lowland fen, marsh and swamp. Future technologies may also enable us to accurately calculate the extent of bracken.
The mountains, moorlands and heath (MMH) scoping study set out a number of condition indicators to include in the accounts, some of which could not be included. For future iterations of this report additional indicators such as biodiversity and burning on the MMH habitat will aim to be included. Additionally, a time series of all condition indicators need to be included in order to identify changes to the condition of natural capital assets over time.
The ecosystem service accounts are partial. Further development is needed to calculate monetary stocks for renewable energies, and monetary and non-monetary stocks for services such as game shooting and waste detoxification.Nôl i'r tabl cynnwys
To calculate the index the species data of total individuals counted in the UK are taken and divided by the total number of squares surveyed, to calculate a mean count per square. 1994 was then used as a base year and a geometric mean index was calculated for the following species: Red Grouse, Golden Plover, Curlew, Common Gull, Meadow Pipit, Whinchat, Wheatear, Raven, Black Grouse, Hen Harrier, Golden Eagle and Merlin, to obtain an overall moorland species year-on-year index.y UK.
The LULUCF sector breakdown identifies carbon sequestration activities in the following subcategories:
- forest land remaining forest land
- land converted to forest land
- cropland remaining cropland
- land converted to cropland
- grassland remaining grassland
- land converted to grassland
- wetlands remaining wetlands
- land converted to wetlands
- settlements remaining settlements
- land converted to settlements
- harvested wood products remaining harvested wood products
- land converted to harvested wood products
To apportion these values to calculate estimates of carbon sequestration within mountains, moorlands and heath (MMH), LULUCF categories were mapped to the Land Cover Map 2007 and 2015 class categories. From the mapping exercise it was concluded that, under the LULUCF categories, MMH corresponded to grassland and wetlands. The extent of the Land Cover class categories, that corresponded to MMH and LULUCF classes grassland and wetlands, was taken and used to apportion the LULUCF estimates for grassland and wetlands. This then enabled us to calculate an estimated physical flow, annual value and asset value for carbon sequestration in MMH.

As CEH only estimated pollution capture for years 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2030, a linear adjustment index was calculated to obtain a full time series, from 2007 onwards. The linear adjustment index was determined by taking actual air pollution data and calculating the percentage of pollution capture, for the aforementioned years, as a proportion of actual air pollution levels. A trend of the percentage of pollution capture was then calculated and the estimated percentages of pollution capture were used to obtain values of pollution capture for the missing years..

Last of 8 defendants in Charleston heroin ring pleads guilty in federal court
May 4 2013 12:10 am
When Charleston police set their sights on a large crew of drug dealers hustling heroin on the city’s West Side in 2006, they knew the best way of shutting them down was to team up with federal authorities.
That’s because the federal court system has stricter bail guidelines for repeat offenders, making it easier to keep chronic thugs behind bars.
“O” Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen said. “.”
Not every case can be prosecuted federally, which is why Lowcountry lafighting to reform the state’s bonding system. Last year’s attempt in the Legislature failed. But this go-around there is hope, Mullen said.
This week the S.C. Senate passed a bond-revocation reform bill with a 42-0 vote. The bill focuses on preventing repeat offenders, who already are out of jail on bail, from continuing to commit crimes — what officials commonly refer to as the revolving door.
Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said sending repeat offenders to circuit court would allow for more careful consideration of the defendant’s background and pending cases. “There can be a more thorough presentation of the case,” she said.
Arthur Lawrence, president of the West Side neighborhood association, already is a supporter. He said he saw the difference in his neighborhood when the heroin crew was removed from the streets and held under the federal system.
Gary Lamontt Smith, 20, of Charleston, was one of those folks Lawrence encountered in his neighborhood. He cut his trial short this week in federal court and pleaded guilty to his involvement in the heroin distribution ring.
Eight people were originally indicted in the case, in which investigators seized 10,000 bags of branded heroin in June 2011. The number of defendants eventually grew to 26 people. As of this week, all eight of the original defendants have pleaded guilty to drug charges in federal court.

I have a thyroid condition and am on levothyroxoid. Is it safe for me to take soy, and if so, how much a day? I'm also going through perimenopause and having the hot flashes... So if it would help, I'd be happy to try it. I had heard that soy and thyroid aren't a good mix.
Will soy protein interfere with any of my prescription medications?
The FDA has not issued any drug interaction warnings for soy protein. No interactions in humans with common prescription medications have been shown. In fact, soy may enhance the benefits of many prescriptions. For instance, soy may help cholesterol lowering medications lower cholesterol even further. Soy may also reduce breast and endometrial stimulation caused by prescription hormones.
Will soy protein affect my thyroid function?
Hundreds of human studies have shown soy's benefits to menopause,
endometrial, breast, heart and bone health. Hypothyroidism has not been a
concern in these studies that we have seen.
Studies in athletes have also not shown any detrimental effects of soy
to thyroid health. The FDA has not issued a consumer warning, or stopped
infant formula from being used, or stopped soy foods from being sold and
consumed by hundreds of food manufacturers. If the FDA found evidence that
soy was dangerous, they would act on it. They reviewed the medical literature for 2 years and found no compelling, proven evidence that soy would harm the thyroid or cause cancer (Reference 4)!
Tens of thousands of customers from all over America use Revival daily
and have achieved excellent health. We haven't had any significant problems in tens of thousands of Revival users. Animal studies have shown that soy may actually increase thyroid hormone levels slightly which could help reduce cholesterol levels.
You should avoid isoflavone pills. Isoflavone pills are chemically-extracted and don't have the safety data that whole soy products have. A lot of our questions come from an in vitro study, using single, highly purified isoflavones, that in high concentrations, inhibited in vitro thyroid cells. Purified chemicals from potato skins have also been shown to be potent neurotoxins. New studies show that the isoflavone pills don't work as good as the whole soy products either. We can't expect a chemically-isolated pill to produce the same benefit and have the same
safety as soy foods.
The Japanese consume 100 times more isoflavones daily than Americans in
their diet. They have the best health and longest lifespan in the world
according to data from this summer (1999). If someone claims that they became hypothyroid after they started eating soy protein or soy isoflavones, it does not mean that soy caused it. Auto-immune diseases are the number one cause of thyroid problems followed by iodine deficient diets. They could have had a genetic predisposition for hypothyroidism.
Personal Note from Dr. Tabor: On a personal note, my entire family and many, many colleagues and friends consume Revival and other soy products daily. I talk to hundreds of Revival customers regularly that have wonderful health and great results.
My own grandmother is on Synthroid and enjoys Revival daily. The makers of Synthroid simply recommend not taking the medication at the same time during the day when eating soy products. She has not had any problems. She takes her Synthroid in the morning and the soy later during the day. No significant human data has ever shown this. It is just speculation. But, the SOLUTION is simple - monitor your Synthroid levels as you normally do with your medical doctor. He or she can adjust your Synthroid levels as needed up or down IF needed. It's that simple. You can also take your medication and soy at different times of the day to minimize any absorption problems. I doubt you will have any problems though because we haven't received any reports here.
Earlier claims that soy harmed the thyroid were based on PURIFIED CHEMICAL STUDIES (even by one of the FDA’s own scientists), which are irrelevant for whole soy products like Revival. As stated above, recent HUMAN STUDIES have disproved this theory, and the FDA’s other more senior scientists rejected any claims that whole soy protein harmed the thyroid. PLEASE READ CLEARLY: As you will see from the additional references below (References 5, 6, 7 and 8), purified chemicals from ANY vegetable or fruit, INCLUDING broccoli, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, brussel sprouts, cabbage, alfalfa, oats, carrots, cauliflower, turnips, etc. are very toxic (i.e. they cause cancer) to human cells if ISOLATED from the rest of the plant!! Of course, no one is saying that you shouldn’t eat vegetables and fruits!! That’s silly. The reason is that PURIFIED CHEMICALS from plants are NOT THE SAME as the whole plant, so to assert that soy causes hypothyroidism BASED ON PURIFIED CHEMICAL STUDIES is simply not correct or factual, particularly when the newest HUMAN studies show that soy is safe. Earlier preliminary human/soy/thyroid studies didn’t control for iodine deficiency, thus making them irrelevant, given the fact that 3 recent, well-designed, controlled studies have shown that soy does not harm the thyroid.
Additionally, as you will see from the last reference, the milk industry is suing the soy milk industry to stop using the word “soy milk” (Reference 9). The web sites promoting these “anti-thyroid” soy materials are funded/supported by the dairy industry. We are not against the dairy industry. We don’t even sell soy milk. Many of our customers mix their Revival with a big glass of regular milk daily! The groups/people against soy feel strongly that there is a vast “FDA conspiracy” and that the soy industry is blinded to this, which is not the case. They want to ignore the hundreds of medical studies showing that soy protein produces great benefits.
SOY ISOFLAVONES DO NOT HAVE AN ANTI-THYROID EFFECT IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN OVER 64 YEARS OF AGE. B. Bruce. G. A. Spiller and L. Holloway. Health Research and Studies Center, Los Altos, CA 94022 and Palo Alto V.A. Health Care System, Palo Alto, CA 94034. Experimental Biology 2000, San Diego, CA April 15-18, 2000.
Studies in animals, in vitro, and infants using soy-based formulas have suggested a possible anti-thyroid effect of soy. In a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effect on thyroid function of a concentrate supplying 90 mg of soy isoflavones in 38 postmenopausal women, aged 64-83 years old, not on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were measured before supplementation (BS) and after 90 and 180 days.
These results suggest that there appears to be no anti-thyroid effect of soy isoflavones over six months in postmenopausal women not on HRT. Supported by a grant from Archer Daniels Midland Company.
Soy isoflavones exert modest hormonal effects in premenopausal women. Duncan AM, Merz BE, Xu X, Nagel TC, Phipps WR, Kurzer MS.
Department of Food Science and Nutrition, University of Minnesota, St. Paul 55108, USA. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1999 Jan;84(1):192-7
Soy isoflavones are hypothesized to be responsible for changes in hormone action associated with reduced breast cancer risk. To test this hypothesis, we studied the effects of isoflavone consumption in 14 premenopausal women. Isoflavones were consumed in soy protein powders and provided relative to body weight (control diet, 10 +/- 1.1; low isoflavone diet, 64 +/- 9.2; high isoflavone diet, 128 +/- 16 mg/day) for three menstrual cycles plus 9 days in a randomized cross-over design. During the last 6 weeks of each diet period, plasma was collected every other day for analysis of estrogens, progesterone, LH, and FSH. Diet effects were assessed during each of four distinctly defined menstrual cycle phases. Plasma from the early follicular phase was analyzed for androgens, cortisol, thyroid hormones, insulin, PRL, and sex hormone-binding globulin. The low isoflavone diet decreased LH (P = 0.009) and FSH (P = 0.04) levels during the periovulatory phase. The high isoflavone diet decreased free T3 (P = 0.02) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (P = 0.02) levels during the early follicular phase and estrone levels during the midfollicular phase (P = 0.02). No other significant changes were observed in hormone concentrations or in the length of the menstrual cycle, follicular phase, or luteal phase. Endometrial biopsies performed in the luteal phase of cycle 3 of each diet period revealed no effect of isoflavone consumption on histological dating. These data suggest that effects on plasma hormones and the menstrual cycle are not likely to be the primary mechanisms by which isoflavones may prevent cancer in premenopausal women.

Modest hormonal effects of soy isoflavones in postmenopausal women. Duncan AM, Underhill KE, Xu X, Lavalleur J, Phipps WR, Kurzer MS.
Department of Food Science and Nutrition, University of Minnesota, St. Paul 55108, USA. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1999 Oct;84(10):3479-84
Soy isoflavones have been hypothesized to exert hormonal effects in postmenopausal women. To test this hypothesis, we studied the effects of three soy powders containing different levels of isoflavones in 18 postmenopausal women. Isoflavones were consumed relative to bodyweight [control: 0.11 +/- 0.01; low isoflavone (low-iso): 1.00 +/- 0.01; high isoflavone (high-iso): 2.00 +/- 0.02 mg/kg/day] for 93 days each in a randomized crossover design. Blood was collected on day 1 of the study (baseline) and days 36-38, 64-66, and 92-94 of each diet period, for analysis of estrogens, androgens, gonadotropins, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), prolactin, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones. Vaginal cytology specimens were obtained at baseline and at the end of each diet period, and endometrial biopsies were performed at baseline and at the end of the high-iso diet period, to provide additional measures of estrogen action. Overall, compared with the control diet, the effects of the low-iso and high-iso diets were modest in degree. The high-iso diet resulted in a small but significant decrease in estrone-sulfate (E1-S), a trend toward lower estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1), and a small but significant increase in SHBG. For the other hormones, the few significant changes noted were also small and probably not of physiological importance. There were no significant effects of the low-iso or high-iso diets on vaginal cytology or endometrial biopsy results. These data suggest that effects of isoflavones on plasma hormones per se are not significant mechanisms by which soy consumption may exert estrogen-like effects in postmenopausal women. These data also show that neither isoflavones nor soy exert clinically important estrogenic effects on vaginal epithelium or endometrium.

Women's Health & Soy Protein Overview
Benefits for women of all ages!
Soy alleviates menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms: Soy protein can significantly improve your midlife comfort and health. (1,2,3,4) Symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, headaches, anxiety and insomnia can be controlled with Revival. Soy is extremely safe and has never been linked to breast or endometrial cancer. In fact, soy consumption may reduce the risk of certain cancers including breast, endometrial (uterine) and colon cancer. (3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) Poplulations with the highest soy consumption have the lowest rates of breast and endometrial cancers.
Soy protein may exert positive effects on bone density in women of all ages. (12,13,14) Numerous animal and human studies have shown that soy protein can help you maintain a strong skeletal system and healthy joints.
Soy is considered extremely safe: soy protein does not stimulate cell growth in breast or endometrial (uterine) tissues. (15) Soy inhibits estrogen-induced breast and endometrial cell proliferation. (16) Soy may function as a selective estrogen, producing the benefits but not the risks associated with traditional hormone replacement therapy (commonly referred to as HRT). (15,17,18)
Soy protein lowers cholesterol levels and lowers heart disease risk - the #1 killer of women and men. (4,19) On October 26th, 1999, the FDA approved a new health claim that soy protein reduces risk of coronary heart disease. (20)
Soy may also benefit women on HRT by blocking breast and uterine tissue proliferation caused by estrogen (16), and producing additive benefits with estrogen to lower cholesterol/heart disease risk and improving blood vessel reactivity. (19)
Human studies show that soy protein helps decrease fat and increases lean tissue. (22) Soy is also an excellent connective tissue stimulant for better hair/skin/nails.
The key to results is to eat enough soy for results. Each Revival Soy is the amount needed for results and benefits. The taste is excellent!


This school is terribly overcrowdculty and parents. Teachers here care more about test scores than actually instructing students, they teach to test not to succeed or retain. My child was thriving at our previous school and here it is the opposite. The kids here are terribly behaved and there is no control in the classroom. This serves as a severe distraction to kids that actually want to learn. I sincerely hope that the intermediate school is a better experience or I will seek to transfer my child.
This school is a joke. Worst experience ever. Everyone acts so entitled. If you want your kid to end up being a good person this is not the school for you. First grade my son had the WORST teacher ever.  This might as well be a private school.
My Son attended FPS kindergarten and first grade, most awful experience!
Both of my children attended FPS, Kindergarten thru 2nd grafor me, as a parent. The teachers were very caring and provided a good academic base for the kids. The negative that I have is the school is too large and they don't do a good job of ensuring that there are students in your children's class from the previous year. It makes the children's experience so much better and the transition to a new grade so much easier if they have a familiar face they recognize.

Dear Bro. and Sister Howland:
I send this vision to you for you to read to the church in Topsham. 1LtMs, Lt 12, 1850, par. 1
Brother Rhodes came here last Tuesday which is just one week ago today. We were glad to see him. He has just got out a new chart. It is larger than any chart I ever saw; it is very clear. We like his chart much. 1LtMs, Lt 12, 1850, par. 2
My babe had been very sick for about a week. We had prayed4
When Satan found he could not take the life of the child, he tempted me that God had left me or the child would have been healed when we first prayed for him. I sank under this temptation in despair and was so until last Sabbath evening. My heart seemed within me like lead, but God delivered me that eve and Satan’s power was broken. 1LtMs, Lt 12, 1850, par. 5
When Satan found his power was completely broken upon him, he went to the child again. He waked us crying at the top of his voice. He seemed to have the colic and we went up to the chamber, anointed his stomach with oil and prayed over him, rebuked Satan and he had to flee. We heard no more from him till morning. He is quite well today but rather weak. We feel quite free from his (Satan’s) power today. He has made a desperate struggle to get some of us, but we have driven him back. 1LtMs, Lt 12, 1850, par. 8

Home > What to See and Do > Chalet da Condessa d’Edla
The chalet is made of painted plaster and cork, not of wood.
Period furniture decorates the interior
The building follows the style of Alpine chalets, but is covered with Portuguese cork, perhaps inspired by the Capuchos Convent in Sintra — cork frames windows and doors, and covers balconies and some of the decorative details of the interior.
The exterior appears to be made of wood, but is actually painted plaster. Inside, it presents a few examples of period furniture and some of the personal items of the countess.
The Countess of Edla was Elise Hensler, an opera singer who was born in Switzerland, grew up in Boston in the United States, and then moved to Paris, where she began her career. She ended up performing in Milan’s La Scala and in Lisbon’s São Carlos Theater, and that’s where King Fernando II first met her.
Visiting the Countess of Edla Chalet
The chalet takes about 20 minutes to visit, and is part of a tour of Pena Park.
How to Get to the Countess of Edla Chalet
To reach Pena Park and the palace, take bus 434 from the center of Sintra.
Admission and Tickets to the Countess of Edla Chalet
It opens every day - 9:30am to 8pm in the spring and summer, and 10am to 6pm in autumn and winter.

The French President says he wants to "piss off" a small minority of his fellow countrymen who refuse the Big Pharma drugs.
In a wildly authoritarian move, French President Emmanuel Macron has declared the nation’s unvaccinated public to be “not citizens” of France, and claims he is intentionally just trying to “piss them off.”
The bizarre and unlawful declaration comes as the French parliament debates new legislation that would eliminate unvaccinated people from public life entirely, even if they test negative for COVID-19.
The moves belie the oft-repeated claim that COVID-19 vaccines are purely a health measure, especially in the face of new data from surrounding countries that proves the vaccinated are now more likely to contract, and therefore spread, the virus.
“I am not about pissing off the French people… But as for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy.
He continued: “In a democracy, the worst enemies are lies and stupidity… We are putting pressure on the unvaccinated by limiting, as much as possible, their access to activities in social life.”
France claims to have vaccinated almost 90 percent of those eligible. Despite claims by health professionals that this should be enough to control the spread of COVID-19, the virus is still infecting and spreading, including amongst the vaccinated across Europe and the United States.
Regardless of the scientific facts, Macron blames “only a very small minority who are resisting. How do we reduce that minority? We reduce it – sorry for the expression – by pissing them off even more.”
He went on to say he had no plans to “jail [the unvaccinated], or forcibly vaccinate them.”
So, he offered, “we have to tell them: from 15 January, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theatre. You will no longer be able to go to the cinema.”
Opposition leader Marine Le Pen shot back, asserting that a president “should not say such things”, insisting Macron is “not worthy of the office” and that he was “turning the unvaccinated into second-class citizens.”
The latest opinion polls for the 2022 French Presidential election gives Macron (23%) a lead over his key opponents Marine Le Pen (14.5%), Eric Zemmour (15%), Jean-Luc Mélenchon (13%), and Valérie Pécresse (15%).
French Presidential elections are conducted in two rounds, with the latest fieldwork showing Macron handily beating Le Pen or Zemmour in a run off, with only the centrist Pécresse able to poll closely in the second round.
Despite his own popularity numbers slumping into nearly negative 60 percent in 2018, Macron’s own political fortunes appear to have improved in recent months. A new Harris Interactive poll shows him with a +2 approval rating, the highest in years.

Barty addressed a huge media pack at RAC Arena today, echoing the sentiments of her former doubles partner Casey Dellacqua after last night flying in from her WTA Finals victory in China.
The world No.1 already boasts an incredible list of highlights from her season but can yet end Australia’s 45-year Fed Cup drought if she can lead her nation to a win over France.
Barty has book-ended her year in Perth after teaming with Matt Ebden for Australia in the Hopman Cup this year.
“This is a week that I circled right from the beginning of the year, one that we wanted to target as a team and as a nation,” Barty said. “It’s really exciting to be able to finish the year playing for your country. It’s pretty special and without a doubt “I think all of us are extremely hungry. It’s taken us probably two or three years to try and get ourselves
“It was a perfect way for me to start off my 2019 season playing Hopman Cup here in Perth and I think to be able to kind of come full circle and end the season playing for your country is going to be really special too.
Barty said she had arrived in good shape, despite her heavy workload this season.
Barty and veteran teammate Sam Stosur said they had great confidence in the team, with question marks remaining on who will join Barty in singles action.
Doubles and singles star Kristina Mladenovic will lead the French team.
“We’ve got options aplenty with our team,” Barty said.
“No matter who gets the rubbers on the board, it’s about collectively trying to come in as a team and get the win.
“We’ve playing Kristina enough on the singles and the doubles court and I think her name is going to feature prominently on the weekend for the French team. Obviously she has had a fantastic week in Shenzhen winning the doubles title there.
Stosur said she would put her hand up for any opportunities captain Alicia Molik gave her over the weekend.
The 35-year-old said it would be incredible to win Fed Cup.

cPanel & WHM version 56 (in the CURRENT tier as of April 11th, 2016, with an expected End of Life of May of 2017) will be the last version of cPanel to support CentOS 5, and 32bit Architecture. We have considered this heavily, and have decided to drop support for those things for two primary reasons:
As a software provider, oldest infrastructure is too high, and it severely limits the amount of new things we can deliver to our users.
The Server Configuration Additions to the Transfer Tool
If you're familiar with the transfer tool, you will find that the additions we've made are incredibly simple to use. Once you authenticate to the origin server, you'll see an expandable section called "Service Configurations". Click the 'Show' button:
Choose the configurations you want to transfer, and go through the Transfer Tool like you normally would:
Note: Due to the potential complications involved, currently MySQL is not included in the WHM Transfer Tool interface. You can still copy your MySQL configuration using the command line tool cpconftool, you can still back up and manually copy your MySQL configuration
Just in case it wasn't obvious yet, we want you to upgrade, to migrate, and to keep using and providing new and better software. If you still have any hesitation about the Transfer Tool's additions, I'd love to hear about it! Email me or tweet me, and let me know!

Tamiya kits were the industry standard, with eye-catching box art, instructions that were easy to follow (and never, ever wrong), and models that built up well, with a minimum of fuss.
I’d wager that there isn’t a single person in Japan who hasn’t seen the Tamiya label.
The irony of this visit is that although there are models of most of the vehicles that came to visit, Tamiya doesn’t make most of them. The Type 96 Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier? Made by Japanese competitor INTERALLIED (which I’d never heard of before.) Type 87 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle? Made by Chinese competitor Trumpeter. The only visitor actually made by Tamiya is the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV). A real shame, since Tamiya has faithfully made models of every indigenous Japanese tank ever made (Type 61, Type 74, Type 90).
Some of my handiwork. In this case, the Tamiya 1/35 scale T-55 kit. Soviet Army markings. </s> It will never be even from a distance.

Meet life head on, long overdue. </s> Reading this essay now, contextualized by the issue’s recent Foerization and Natalie Portman’s resulting and fairly comical and completely insulting soapbox derby, is a bit like waking up from too long a sleep beneath too many blankets, wearing flannel pajamas (with cute little attached booties) and sweating terribly, then rolling out of bed into a tub of ice water. We miss you, Dave.
Well, I have done it. I’ve completed my first ever iMovie with footage from my Panasonic Lumix handheld camera thing, a sleek black camera I bought for the sole fact that the Crailtap guys told me to, meaning I fell prey to celebrity endorsement, the simplest and most transparent of all advertising ploys. Who cares.
Exactly, Ryan. That’s exactly right.
I mean sorry! Sorry! Been working, busy writing and teaching and traveling and being as complete and whole a person I can manage. Leaves holes in the blog though, don’t it?
Here’s something: a recording from last week’s reading (mine) at the Parlor Reading Series, there in the Busch and pretzeled home of Green Lantern Press. Many thanks to all who came and heard me read for thirty minutes from my novel in progress, especially the skateboarders who don’t normally frequent readings. It was a rad night, totally and completely satisfying. The podcast itself can be found right stinking here.
And for those of you with eyes, here’s a video of the flashback section of the reading (that’s a Busch burp there at 0:33, if you’re curious).
I’ve got a few events upcoming. Starting Wednesday this (Nov. 11), with a round table discussion at the Sullivan Gallery of SAIC (33 S. State St.) running from 4:30 until 6:00.
Then on Sunday, November 15, I’ll join Patrick Somerville, Mary Hamilton, Lindsay Hunter and Laura Pearson for a special Knee Jerk collabo at the Orange Alert Reading Series. That’s 6:00 on a Sunday at The Whistler in Logan Square, surely the neighborhood’s favorite gently-lit music and cocktail venue.
And finally December 1 finds me reading from the novel in progress at The Green Lantern Gallery for their Parlor Reading Series. Which’ll be recorded and podcasted, but it’s a huge room so come if you can, come and bring all you can — friends, strangers, dolls…anything to fill up that room.

In late October, I took a long-ish ramble up Eagle Creek, a bit south on the PCT to Indian Mountain, and back via Herman Creek and Trail 400. It turned out being the longest hike I’ve ever taken: right around 40 miles, if I’ve calculated everything right. I know that’s not a lot for everyone, but it meant a lot more to me than I thought it would.
I pull into the empty Eagle Creek Trailhead a little after six, eat a couple donuts, put on my headlamp, and set out in the pre-dawn drizzle. The sun takes its damn sweet time rising, but makes it out of bed in time for a quick picture of Punchbowl.
The only earnestly unpleasant bit of the day’s right around Twister Falls, when the rain picks up considerably, and walking under the cliffs is a little like taking a cold show


It has been snowing a ton here lately and the past two weekends have found us breaking in new snow boots while running around town getting our Christmas on. Two weekends ago, we went to Branch 27 for a going-away party for Fred & Ali.
The next day, we went to Lincoln Square to check out their Christkindl Christmas Market. It was really snowy that day but it was cute because there were carolers, ice carvers, and tents full of people selling German crafts, German food, and a choir. We bought some potato pancakes, goulash, and hot chocolate, grabbed a couple seats, and kept ourselves warm and dry in the tent.
After a couple close calls that involved icing dye and our new couch, I plopped the kids in the tub for a bubble bath. Then they watched "Mr. Grinch" for the fifth time. Being pregnant and entertaining kids is exhausting. Just as exhausting as it has become to tie my shoes (and walk up a flight of stairs, and water the Christmas tree...).
Another fantastic meal at Terragusto and the season finale of Dexter. I think we gave them a nice little send-off on their move to Michigan. We're going to miss y'all tons.
I love the photo of you lounging in the chair...very cute! Sounds pretty exhausting but looks like a lot of fun.


Englishman John Russell is a member of the foreign press corps in Berlin and a first-hand witness to the brutal machinations of Hitler and the Nazi party in the build-up to war during the early months of 1939.When an old acquaintance turns up at his lodging house, Russell'ss, financial need and appeals to his conscience to become a spy -- The grim streets, the constant fear and the skin-deep glitter of pre-war Berlin -- with excursions to Prague, Danzig, London and the Baltic seashore -- form a rich backdrop as Russell, a reluctant hero and a saviour for some, treads an ever narrowing line between the Russians, the British and the Gestapo.
