There is a looming crisis that could disrupt academic work at the Wa Campus of the University of Development Studies (UDS) following the suspension of two student leaders of the University from their positions in the StudentÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Representative Council (SRC) by the UniversityÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s authorities.
While the students have vowed not to relent until the suspension of Mr Naab Alphonse and Mr Owusu Aboagye, SRC President and Secretary, respectively, of the Central SRC of the University, were revoked, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kaku Sagare Nokoe and his lieutenants at the Wa Campus have stuck to their grounds.
At a news conference at Wa on Monday, the students said the Dean and Vice Dean of the Wa based Faculty of Integrated Development Studies of the University walked out of a meeting called by the Management of the Faculty to resolve the issue.
The students, therefore, appealed to the Committee of Vice Chancellors to urge their colleague at the UDS to rescind his decision to suspend the two student leaders from office as they had exhausted all internal democratic procedures to resolve the issue.
They described the reasons used by the Acting Vice-Chancellor to suspend the two SRC officials as unfounded, false, baseless, and intended to cause malice.
According to the students, the Acting Vice-Chancellor accused the two students of using abusive language in a letter written to him and engaging in unauthorized radio interviews.
They were also alleged to have abused their offices, disrupted the academic calendar during SRC week celebration and granted interviews to the media, which allegedly tarnished the image of the University.
Mr Mustapha Abdul Ganiyu, Central SRC Vice President of the University, contended that the SRC President was a democratically student leader, who constitutionally could only be removed from office through an action of impeachment or vote of no confidence.
He stated that the decision by the Acting Vice-Chancellor to remover their two colleagues from office stemmed from a petition they sent through the Dean of students to the Vice-Chancellor in which they intended to hold a news conference to put their grievances into the public domain on October 15 2008.
The studentsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ requests included a National Health Insurance cover for all students towards, which they paid 40 Ghana cedis each; provision of adequate lecture halls and a demand for public address system for lecture halls each of which accommodated not less than 600 students.
The students also accused the Deputy Upper West Regional Police Commander, Mr Augustine Gyenning, of not helping in the resolution of the problem by using his office to harass, threaten and intimidate their leaders.
They cited the arrest and detention of the SRC Electoral Commissioner immediately after the aborted meeting with Management of the Wa Campus during, which his mobile phones were allegedly seized.
On November 28 2008, the Vice-Chancellor of the University wrote a letter to the two students in which he suspended the two student leaders from office for alleged misconduct.
On January 19 2009 they were ordered to face a disciplinary committee to answer charges of misconduct levelled against them and since then the students have been calling for the reinstatement of their two colleagues describing the Acting Vice-ChancellorÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s action as arbitrary.

National Novel Writing Month begins in a few days! Are you ready? I have been reading alllll the articles and resources to prepare, and I made a pretty neat little outline of scenes and designed a planner to increase my chances for success.
New work schedule and kids on sleep strike or not, this NaNo flunkie was going to win this time.
I had an opportunity come up for the beginning of November that deserves my full creative energy. So my NaNoWriMo aspirations will look a little different this year. Even if it means cheating.
The rules of NaNoWriMo are finite. 50,000 words on one new project between November 1-30. No intentionally padding words by doing things like naming your character John Jacob Jingelheimer Schmidt or spelling out every contraction. I'm sure there are more, but those are the main ones.
Even though the title of this post was a major spoiler alert, here is my confession: I'm going to be breaking almost every single one of those rules.
- My primary project isn't new. It's a story that I started writing last year and had to put on hold.
- Yep. I said "primary." As in, there are two projects I'll be dividing the 50,000 words between.
- My 30 days won't take place between November 1-30. And this is okay. All of this is okay.
Or I can give life to new words at a time when it would be great for me to re-establish a consistent writing habit. To fight for my work and art when there are lots of real-life distractions that make it easy to save it for tomorrow...every day. To learn more about myself and my stories through what will probably be a trying experience.
I'm hoping that, somewhere in the middle of these 50,000 words, I can finish the first draft of a manuscript that's on my heart and get in some good work on a new one. But whether it's one word or 50,000 words at the end of November, I encourage you to join me in setting aside time to write every day. Let's end the year strong with glorious new habits and beautiful new words and see what we can do!
Well? Are you up for it? You're welcome to click here to download my free 30-day NaNoWriMo planner!

>amazing graphics and OST >original plot about time travel >tons of personality into the character like frog and robo >lots of cool little touch (like a whole scene where you get attacked every time you make a noise... that includes the noise coming from save points) >battle system is simple but quick and functional >bosses all have their own gimmick and strategies >designed by hironobu sakaguchi, written by yuji horii, music by nobuo uematsu and yasunori mistuda, literaly had THE MOST important people ever when it came to jrpg
i'd argue after FF7, chrono trigger is the second most important jrpg to be ever made
misleading, there's only one ending first play through, all other endings being joke or hypothetical endings in new game+ with the unlocking criterion being "backtrack to the end of time / leene square after every major plot event and fight lavos"
>>322622206 >aging is the most beautiful thing something can do. When it ages nicely and has something still fairly unique to it that it does well. >stay salty Great comeback, how dare I not think that CT is the greatest game ever, right?
>>322619484 It's really good. The main storyline is nicely tied and doesn't try to get confusing or pretentious, and there's some really good shit to do for every character if you want - best thing you might wish from in a jRPG. I think people praised it not only for characters and awesome moments, but also that it didn't try to create some huge and fake world, instead sticking to creating a logical and fun one.
>>322619484 Well, I played it for the first time about 3 years ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters are great, it subverts a lot of tropes, the battle system is pretty good especially with double and triple techs. The time traveling is done fairly well. The side content takes some effort and is worthwhile. There are tons of different endings, depending on how you finish the game. My only complaint was that it was a little short, and maybe that Robo is by far the best party member.
>>322619484 >each character has interesting and unique mechanics, nice designs (designed by Akira Toriyama), nice background stories (and properly fleshed out), >different combination of characters will have different combo attacks >time travel >multiple endings, even though most endings are just for larks/joke endings >nice story and pacing >nice soundtrack/OST >game designed by JRPG legends - the "Dream Team". Also made by Square when they were still good, and not the Squeenix that they are now >inspiration/influence of many game devs - almost everyone has played CT, and it shows in some of their games >can see enemies, so you can choose to avoid some (unlike most FF games where random encounters are unavoidable) >game mechanics like: "first strike" (if enemy sneaks up behind you, they attack first) >ATB goodness >New Game+ >mixed bag of things like Chthulhu, Christian symbolism, post-apoc, 10k BC, "reptilians", etc. >it was great enough to have inspired people to make sequels of it - Square stopped them though :(
Played it a couple of months back and if I have to complain about something its that despite access to multiple eras, the actual world is small as fuck. I mean, theres 4 or 5 villages in the whole fucking world. Also forced encounters in areas youve already beaten got annoying pretty fast Other than that it was fucking amazing from combat to story

Fudge is a rich, chocolate candy made with plenty of sugar, cream, and butter. Fudge is usually cut into squares and eaten in small quantities.
While fudge comes in many different flavors, it's usually chocolate. In the US, another kind of fudge is smooth, melted chocolate that can be poured over the top of ice cream. When fudge is a verb, it means to avoid straightforwardly answering a question or addressing a subject: "Just answer my question and don't fudge the issue!" Fudge is an American word from college slang meaning "a made-up story."

Supt Richard Baker, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "This is a very early stage in the police inquiry and we are still trying to piece together the series of events which preceded this tragedy.
"We are still in the process of identifying the two bodies, how they came to be there and notifying the two deceased's next-of-kin.
"This is a very unusual incident and we appreciate that the local residents have concerns."
A cordon remained at the scene today.
No arrests have been made.
Neighbour Josephine Palmer, 84, said: "My carer called the fire brigade because she saw smoke coming from the house. It was at about 9am and they were with us within five minutes. It was very impressive.

Effective at keeping pets off sofas. Installing battery correctly is a bit tricky.
Posted by karrie on Sep 23rd 2015
The size of the mat is perfect for our sofa and the cats definitely do not like to touch it. With the exception of one time that the battery got loose in the case, it has worked consistently and keeps the cats off the couch.

I am very pleased with the product, totally keeps the cats off!

I use this in my kitchen along a wall that used to house a litter box. They didnt seem to understand that the box is gone, so dont go here.............NOW they get it !
Posted by betty boo on Jul 27th 2015
This worked beautifully until the battery gave out and it failed to work with a new battery. The cats respected the sofa for several months after it stopped working. I finally ordered a new one, which I hope will last longer.

Insurer UnumProvident Corp. Sought Ways to Avoid Claims. UnumProvident Corp., the nation’s largest disability insurer, systematically sought ways to avoid paying claims to millions of California customers, a lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit filed Friday in Superior Court by policyholders seeks class-action status. It comes less than a month after the company was ordered to pay an $8 million fine to settle similar charges against the company by state insurance regulators.
The lawsuit seeks billions of dollars in premium refunds and damages for denied claims
The lawsuit seeks billions of dollars in premium refunds and damages for denied claims. The suit also names UnumProvident subsidiary Paul Revere Life Insurance Co.
The lead plaintiff in the case is former Berkeley chiropractor Joan Hangarter, who won a unanimous $7.7 million federal jury award after she became disabled by tendinitis and Paul Revere denied her benefits.
An attorney said he expects the settlement with state officials to boost his case against the Chattanooga, Tenn.-based insurer, which settled similar allegations with 48 other states last year.
But UnumProvident spokesman Mary Clarke Guenther said the previous California settlement should foreclose the new claims.

Few of the great news stories of the early 20th century enjoyed such immediate reportage as the Katmai mountain story. On the steamship, Dora, bound for the port of Kodiak on Kodiak Island. Alaska, on June 6, 1912, the captain logged, at precisely 1 pm: ‘Sighted heavy column of smoke directly astern rising from the Alaska Peninsula. I took a bearing of same, which I made out to be Mount Katmai, distance about 55 miles (88km) away.’
Accompanied by fierce winds and lightning flashes, the smoke overtook the ship two hours later, smothering it in white ash that blotted out even the surface of the sea. Ash covered Kodiak, too, roofs collapsing under its weight.
At cold Bay on the Alaska Peninsula, a severe earthquake was followed by a tremendous explosion that was also noted on the British Columbian border nearly 800 miles (1300km) away. More explosions reverberated through the night and the following day, culminating at 10.40 pm on June 7 with a flash of yellow light from a mountain of Incandescent volcanic ash that lit up the area ‘like sunshine. The next day, the familiar silhouettes of distant peaks confirmed a witness’s statement: ‘The top of Katmai Mountain blew off.’
Later estimates suggested that some 33 billion tons of Erath’s crush had been spread as dust and ash over vast areas of the American north-west, and also shot up into the stratosphere. There, during the next year or so, the material encircled the northern hemisphere, deflecting some ten per cent of the sun’s energy and causing cooler summers and colder winters everywhere.
Not until 1915 was an American botanist, Dr Robert F. Griggs, able to lead an expedition to the Katmai Valley. Ther they found a wasteland of mud, quicksand and pumice dust, with not a tree or blade of grass left alive. The ground rang hollow beneath their feet and, when struck hard it gave way to reveal steaming sulphurous fissures. Wisely, the party retreated. But they returned the following year, when they cautiously skirted new, yawning ravines to reach the top of Mount Katmai.
The summit had been replaced by a pit 2.5 miles (4 long and more than 2000ft (600m) deep. At the bottom gleamed a lake of vitriolic blue-green. Farther on, the expedition a valley whose fissured floor emitted thousands of columns of steam that climbed high into the sky. The awed Griggs named it the valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. At the upper end, about 6 miles (10km) from Mount Katmai, he discovered a new, small, volcano; it was christened Novarupta.
This was the clue to the disaster. Katmai had not blown up at all – it was the new volcano that had exploded, raining molten rock from Katmai by way of underground fissures and so causing the unsupported summit to collapse inwards.

Sometimes it happens that after the winter – season in which many lovers of two wheels prefer to leave their bike in the garage (with good peace of mind for those like us who are always in the saddle), warm and safe from the weather – you have the desire to pull the bike out of the garage. You’re ready to turn it on and hear its noise again, that roar that won you over when you bought it, but instead of that sound that bewitches you hear a single electronic hiss. Low battery. So how do you keep the batteries on our bikes from running out of power? Simple, just use the motorcycle battery maintainer. Actually, it’s not just the winter that’s harmful to our batteries, but also the heat or a few weeks’ inactivity that can lead to battery discharge. It is precisely in these cases that it is necessary to have a motorcycle battery maintainer in the trunks or side bags every day.
What is a battery maintainer
The motorcycle charge maintainer is essentially composed of a control unit that has on one side a power socket that will be connected to the battery of your motorcycle and on the other side a portion of the device that will have to be connected to the wall socket.
How it works
The battery maintainer is used to give your motorcycle battery a new life. To use the battery maintainer you obviously need a power socket where you can place your bike and so it will be easier to connect the battery. Modern products are much smaller than those of the past and the cost, which we will talk about later, has also been greatly reduced. Once you have connected the battery maintainer to the wall and connected the polarity cables, there will be a first check by the device and then it will be recharged until the batteries are one hundred percent charged and extend the life of the vehicle so as to avoid unpleasant inconveniences in the following weeks.
How much does it cost
Many companies, even those outside the motoring sector, are adapting to the always high demand for this type of object, which also fits into the sphere of technological accessories that favour the maintenance of their vehicles. There are different types of maintainers and the cost can vary from a few tens of euros, but the quality may not be high and the life of the device is not very long, up to battery maintainers that can cost several hundred euros. Obviously, in the latter cases it depends on the brand of the product, how much charge they provide and some extras they can provide to the end user.

COLOMBO–As Sri Lankans celebrated a national holiday yesterday to mark the long-awaited victory over the Tamil Tigers, the International Committee of the Red Cross complained the central government has stopped it from sending aid to refugee camps.
Marcel Izard, a spokesman with the Red Cross in Switzerland, said Sri Lanka announced on the weekend that aid packages would no longer be delivered to the 130,000 people living in a government-run camp near the town of Vavuniya.
For the past two months, the Red Cross had been sending camp residents hygiene kits of soap, washing powder, towels and underwear, as well as floor mats, blankets and pots and pans.
"These are things that are essential and vital for basic human needs," Izard said.
Sri Lankan authorities told the Red Cross the aid was being halted because of security.
"We believe it's a mistake to stop these items from being allowed into camps and we think our assistance is needed," he said.
Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary Palitha Kohona, however, told the Toronto Star the Red Cross's access to the refugee camp was cut off after 80 people registered there went missing in recent days – the implication being that they may be Tamil Tiger supporters.
Kohona said security officials believe those people may have slipped out of the camp on Red Cross vehicles.
"This is a huge security risk," Kohona said. "We know that the Tigers have arms caches buried and they would be all too accessible."
The Red Cross joined other aid groups in pushing for unfettered access to some 280,000 Tamils displaced from the former combat zone.
The United Nations said it had no information on any wounded civilians still in that area, but the UN or Red Cross should be granted access "to evacuate any who remain," Elisabeth Byrs, spokeswoman for the UN's humanitarian operations, said yesterday.
Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said troops had evacuated more than 60,000 civilians caught in the fighting and that no wounded remained behind.
Rishard Badurdeen, the minister for resettlement, said foreign access to the camps was restricted because rebel fighters were hiding among the refugees.
Red Cross officials said they had registered more than 1,800 rebels who had surrendered. It was the first word on how many fighters had turned themselves over to the military since Sri Lanka declared victory over the rebels this week after a 25-year Tamil insurgency.
A day after Sri Lanka's newspapers were filled with news that Tamil Tigers leader Velupillai Prabhakaran had been killed by government soldiers, most stores were closed in the capital Colombo and small parades of buses, cars and auto rickshaws cruised the city's main streets, playing loud music as young revellers leaned out the windows, tossed firecrackers and waved Sri Lanka's national flag.
Near the front of the President Mahinda Rajapaksa residence, a block away from the ocean and cordoned off from traffic by mustard-coloured barriers, a group of young boys spent the afternoon playing cricket.
Residents walking along the sidewalks exclaimed "peace, we finally have peace in Sri Lanka."
In this city's ethnic Tamil enclaves, however, the mood was more subdued.
Many Tamils, long caught between a government that distrusted them and a rebel movement that brooked no Tamil moderates, welcomed the end of the civil war even as they harboured doubts about the government's promises of unity, reconciliation and equality.

Just back from Victoria…British Columbia’s scenic capital. I highly recommend a visit to this coastal gem. Having visited Victoria over a dozen times for business and pleasure, I’ve stayed in a wide variety of accommodation. For maximum convenience and enjoyment, I recommend that you overnight it in the Inner Harbour area. As there is such a diverse lodging selection to choose from, let me save you time by providing you with my top hotel picks. Check kayak.com and hotelscombined.com for deals.
1) Oswego Hotel
Tucked away in a residential neighbourhood, this cozy, contemporary boutique hotel has lovely West Coast-inspired décor, rooms with large windows and kitchens that include stainless steel appliances, slate floors and granite countertops. Be sure to drop by their O Bistro for beautifully presented dishes.
2) Abigail’s Hotel
Housed in a 1930′s Heritage Tudor Mansion, this elegant small hotel has been recognized over the years for its outstanding service and gourmet breakfasts. Aside from its Old World charm, you’ll enjoy complimentary evening hors d’oeuvres, spa services and free parking.
3) Empress Hotel
This majestic Victorian style property showcases its turn-of-the-century grandeur. Condé Nast magazine’s 2010 Reader Choice Awards ranked it number one for hotels on Vancouver Island. Tea at the Empress has been a long-standing tradition (although many will say it’s overpriced) and their relaxing Willow Stream Spa was chosen by Condé Nast as one of the top five spas in Canada.
4) Magnolia Hotel & Spa
Infused with European elegance, the Magnolia is blossoming into a popular boutique hotel. Frommer’s rated it the best choice for business travellers and noted its reasonable rates. Aveda products, in-room fruit and a complimentary continental breakfast are just a few of the extras on offer.
5) Hotel Grand Pacific
The modern Hotel Grand Pacific offers rooms with panoramic vistas of the Inner Harbour. Its wide range of services and amenities including a fitness centre with yoga and Pilates classes, pool, steam room, sauna, spa and several dining options.
6) Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour Hotel
Yet another strong showing in the Marriott chain, this highrise has tastefully decorated rooms, free high speed internet, a pool, whirlpool, fitness room and restaurant, among other amenities. And, it’s developed a solid reputation for friendly service and clean rooms.
7) Inn at Laurel Point
Although not as conveniently located as the above properties, it has picturesque views of the harbor and elegant Japanese-inspired décor. Its restaurant, Aura, was recommended in 2009 by the restaurant reviewers of two of Victoria’s top newspapers as one of their favorite spots.
8) Royal Scot Suite Hotel
What this place lacks in design sense, it makes up for in many other ways. Situated on a quiet street, rooms are clean, spacious and have well-stocked kitchenettes. There is also a laundry room, games room, restaurant, pool, whirlpool, sauna, fitness room and courtesy shuttle. It won a Trip Advisor 2010 Travelers’ Choice Award and Frommer’s chose it as a best bet for families.
9) Best Western Inner Harbour
Currently ranked #1 on Trip Advisor out of 74 Victoria hotels, this is a basic but decent place. Ya gotta love that they offer free parking, complimentary full breakfasts, a superb location on a quiet street, a fridge, microwave, balcony and outdoor pool…all for a reasonable rate.

I can feel more of the vibrations through impact and this extra feedback is welcome most of the time. Show only see all.
With good looks and using tried and true technology the X is in a good spot in the Callaway line up. Callaway Csllaway 10d Driver. So I attached two lead tape at the heel.
I bought the X Tour model because I wanted a fair comparison with my FT-3 Tour but the first thing I ladiees about my driver was the closed face. HC in pics is included.
I have confirmed that the X Tour even though it looked square at address does tend to pull the ball to the left on solid hits. Delivery Options see all.

The hollowed-out or Tru-Bore Technology is part of the S2H2 design, and allows the shaft tip to extend through the clubhead to ldies sole, which improves feel and control. Callaway by Fujikura 60g regular flex graphite shaft. It is not just when I hit a ball though it is all the time as if something is broken off inside the club head. So the engineers sought out to make not just a replacement to the but a quality, tour-performing driver.
You can see most of the line up at the X custom shaft page or by asking your local Callaway dealer for up-to-date availability. Variable Face Thickness Technology Variable Face Thickness Technology allows designers to adjust the materials thickness in Callaway Golf woods and irons for improved performance.
Number of bids and bid amounts may be slightly out of date. I appreciate it when a company stays ladiies to its roots and provides a familiar clubhead for me at address. By submitting a review you agree to be bound by our terms and conditions. I alreday have the matching 3 wood.
Black seems to make the clubhead appear smaller. Nice Callaway X driver callawzy 11 loft in good condition. So the Consistent Alignment Sole coupled with my crooked clubface made it hard for the simple little tweak at address.
Caloaway had trouble on the front nine getting the ball in the air. So far, the club has delivered mostly straight shots, but dissapointing distance. Club is in good condition with wear from normal use, no dings or scrapes.
This Callaway club has added yards to my drives. All this club is going to do for me is bring up my feedback rating when I sell it on ebay. I have used X, but in most of hit I have experienced big slice.
Left handed stiff flex 65g X Callaway driver with head cover. Your callawsy address will not be published. Callaway quickly released the Big Bertha Titanium and came close to the limit but the Fusion FT-3 was actually the first Callaway driver to reach cc.
Callaway X460 Graphite Driver
Like you, mine also sets up closed and Fallaway have to readjust it every time before teeing off. My home course is very flat and open, so I tend to look for distance over accuracy. I think Calloway is misleading the public by stating that their Tour X sets up properly due to sole configuration.
Share this with your golf buddies: Might be a loose piece of epoxy or something. Callaway X Tour Driver 9.


Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) reviewed his questioning of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday, adding that it appeared that three FBI officials were "conspiring or plotting" to decide the election.
Here's the video of Gowdy on Fox News:
Here's what he said:
"This is a really bad fact pattern," Gowdy said of the revelations about bias at the FBI and Justice Department.
"I hate it for Rod Rosenstein that he's the one explaining it because he's not [FBI official] Peter Strzok, and he's not [Deputy FBI Director] Andy McCabe, and he's not [former FBI Director] Jim Comey, so he's having to do a little bit of clean up," he explained. "But these are really bad facts if you care about an impartial, objective Department of Justice and FBI."
"I'm still trying to figure out why three FBI agents are discussing politics in the Deputy Director's office, because you're not supposed to discuss politics on federal ground and FBI agents aren't supposed to engage in politics for Hatch Act reasons," he added.
Gowdy was referring to texts that show Strzok talking about an "insurance policy" against Trump winning the 2015 election. The text was in a trove of interactions obtained by the media and released Tuesday.
Predicts McCabe will be fired
Gowdy went on to say that he would be surprised if Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe were not fired from his position within the week.
"But the notion that three bureau agents would be conspiring or plotting on how to handle the outcome of a presidential election is the opposite of what you want in an objective, dispassionate, neutral FBI," he explained.
Mueller in a no-win situation of his own making
Gowdy said that although he defended Mueller before, the special counsel has to explain how he hired people who were so biased against Trump. He added that Mueller was in a no-win situation because both Democrats and Republicans can accuse him of inappropriate behavior depending on what the outcome of his investigation might be.

The Sea Cook: A Story for Boys
1881–1882 in magazine Young Folks
First book publication
Literary, adventure, young adult
Approx. 67,000 words
Yo-ho-ho and I'll have a little more of that dinner wine, says a domesticated Long John Silver.
At home with Long John Silver
The Adventures of Long John Silver (1956–1957): Television series; featuring Robert Newton, Connie Gilchrist, Kit Taylor
Between his two feature outings as Long John Silver, Newton had hammed it up similarly as Edward Teach, the titular character of Blackbeard, the Pirate (1952). The man was born to play memorable pirates. Unfortunately he got only one more chance to chew up the ersatz British and Caribbean scenery—in twenty-six episodes of a television series.
Newton, Kit Taylor and Connie Gilchrist reprised their recent movie roles in The Adventures of Long John Silver, which was shot in Australia in 1955, I believe— before Australia even had television. It was shown in England and America in 1956 or 1957 and around the rest of the world over the next decade, as well as later in the 1980s. They might have made more if Newton hadn't died at the height of his fame in 1956.
When the baby boomers were very young, The Adventures of Long John Silver seemed like one of the most exciting things on TV, along with Zorro, Ivanhoe and Robin Hood. More intriguing than the others though, because Silver wasn't quite the hero the other leads were. Kind of a bad guy, wasn't he? Except that he chummed with good lad Jim?
Looking back at it in context now, we can see the single-season of the show continues the taming of Silver, as he develops a relationship with Purity, gives up rum in favour of (gasp!) milk, and lives with the Hawkins family in an inn. He's still a lovable rascal but no longer a cutthroat scoundrel. Yet Newton plays him with all the old panache.
The writing and direction are better than for most TV shows of the period, though anachronisms abound: a Christmas episode actually references Santa Claus, who wasn't to be invented for a century or so.
Episodes are difficult to find. Only half seem to have been ever released on DVD. The technical quality is also not great by most accounts, since the masters are not available for making true copies.
But the adventure continues, with Newton's Long John Silver at the centre, which is what any Treasure Island fan really wants.

Foreclosure Crisis: Report Faults ‘Hardest Hit Fund' Oversight
WASHINGTON | A fund to support homeowners in the communities hit hardest by the collapse of the housing bubble has disbursed just 3 percent of its budget and aided only 30,640 homeowners in the two years since its creation, according to a report released Thursday by a federal watchdog office.
The Hardest Hit Fund, which was created in the spring of 2010, grants money to state housing finance agencies for efforts to help families that are facing foreclosure. It has "experienced significant delay" because of "a lack of comprehensive planning" by the Treasury Department and limited participation by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the large mortgage servicers, said the report by the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
"TARP wasn't supposed to be just a bank bailout," said Christy L. Romero, the special inspector general for TARP, in an interview. "It was specifically designed with the goal of helping homeowners, and our concern is that that goal may not be met."
As of the end of 2011, the Hardest Hit Fund had spent $217.4 million out of its $7.6 billion budget, the report found. The program is intended to reach homeowners who are unemployed, or living in areas with high unemployment rates or steeply falling home values.
The report is just the latest to criticize the Obama administration's efforts to relieve homeowners battered by the nationwide drop in housing prices and the broader recession. The office of the special inspector general has repeatedly criticized Treasury's management of the Home Affordable Modification Program, Washington's main initiative to prevent foreclosures.
The Treasury Department had estimated that the program would reach 3 million to 4 million homeowners. It has aided fewer than a million, though the program has been completing more permanent modifications recently.
The report on the Hardest Hit Fund was requested by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. and chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
It cited a lack of planning and leadership by the Treasury Department as the reason so little money has been spent. The special inspector general said that Treasury had not set clear measures for the number of homeowners to be reached, and when.
The report also argued that the federal government had not used its significant influence over large mortgage servicers and Fannie and Freddie to induce them to participate in the state-devised and state-managed initiatives.
The Hardest Hit Fund "is a TARP Program, and Treasury is the steward over TARP," the report says.
The Treasury Department sought to rebut the criticism of its management of the Hardest Hit Fund, saying that the states' programs had taken considerable time to set up and that the programs had started reaching more homeowners in recent months.
Programs financed by the Hardest Hit Fund have been ramping up recently in some states. In Michigan, for instance, the number of participants climbed 40 percent during the fourth quarter of 2011, and the amount of money disbursed increased by half. Nearly 97 percent of the early beneficiaries continued to own their homes a year after receiving assistance.
The Treasury Department said that the states were better tailoring the programs for their homeowners' needs and reaching more of them.
"The states can change their programs," said Romero, the special inspector general. "So it's not too late for the states to figure out how to use these funds. That's the dynamic nature of the program, and that's what needs to happen."

In 2011, pro-life group Life Always ran a billboard in Manhattan showing a picture of a worried-looking black girl with the caption, “The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb.” The provocative message was aimed directly at the fact that abortion is the No. 1 killer of African Americans, and in New York City, more black babies are aborted than born alive.
Sadly, the billboard's message could also apply to another group of Americans: those with Down syndrome, 70 to 90 percent of whom are aborted, according to LifeNews, thanks to broader prenatal testing.
Sadly, the trend is similar around the world, too. In the United Kingdom there’s been a 34 percent increase in abortion rates for Down syndrome babies since new testing came out in 201. The recent release of these findings led one Canadian columnist to wonder if the practice is really all that different than Nazi eugenics. After all, where will it stop? Because of that same prenatal test in the UK, 10 babies were aborted simply because they had a cleft palate (!), a birth defect that is entirely treatable.
It’s comforting to know, then, that states like Ohio are taking steps to ban abortions of babies who have Down syndrome.
LifeNews.com has the details:
An Ohio state legislative committee approved a pro-life bill today to ban abortions specifically done on unborn babies who are diagnosed with Down syndrome. The vote in favor of the measure sends the bill to the full Ohio state House for a vote.
The Ohio House Committee on Community and Family Advancement voted in favor of the bill 9-3 with bipartisan support. […]
Ohio Right to Life’s Down Syndrome Non-Discrimination Act (H.B. 135) was introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives. The legislation, sponsored by Representatives Sarah LaTourrette and David Hall, comes after multiple studies have demonstrated that upwards of 90 percent of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted. Sixteen legislators signed on as co-sponsors of the bill.“With these committee hearings, Ohioans have had the opportunity to define what kind of state we want to be: one that accommodates difference and protects every person’s right to life,” said Stephanie Ranade Krider, executive director of Ohio Right to Life. “We are tremendously proud of this committee for taking steps towards making Ohio a safer place for every human child, regardless of how many chromosomes they have.”
In 2013, North Dakota became the first state in the nation to ban abortions of babies because they were diagnosed with Down syndrome.

Heck-Weck Kit Version 1 for StreetTwin, StreetCup, StreetScramler, Bonneville T100 & T120. This should look like a horny tail at the Twins. Precise own manufacturing from aluminium and then black coated. 100% perfect fit. By the rear undercoating (lower shell) a good splash protection exists. In the LED indicators the brake & rear light are integrated (these are mounted to the supplied indicator holders, which are screwed from the inside to the shock absorber). An LED license plate light is also included. The turn signal/rear light combination and the license plate light are with E-number. Does not have to be registered. A plug is supplied, which fits into the original wiring harness. In other words, only turn signals, lights etc. have to be crimped and can then be connected without having to change anything on the wiring harness. The conversion can also be done by less experienced screwdrivers without any problems (because we pack a detailed installation manual). Resistors are not necessary, because the flashing frequency can be adjusted via the menu.
Attention: If you have installed a StreetTwin or another flat seat on the Bonneville (e.g. our Cool Seat) you should choose the kit for the StreetTwin.
If you don't dare to do the wiring for the lighting yourself or simply don't feel like it, you can order the finished wiring (see accessories).
The kit is available in 2 different versions. Version 1: Indicators are screwed from the inside to the shock absorbers and are very well hidden in the rear. Version 2: The turn signals are attached to the rear license plate.
The turn signals CLUB, LEGGERA & IRIDE are all three turn signals of the brand Rizoma. These are turn signals which are manufactured in all highest quality and precision.
You can find suitable turn signals for front under the accessories in this description.
If you want it to be 100% correct for Tüv & Polizei, you can order a retro-reflector (see accessories).

Few shows embrace their setting like Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass. In the first few episodes of the Netflix limited series, the tiny island of Crockett Island feels borderline claustrophobic. Yet as the series progresses, that evolves, transforming the discomforts of a small town into a true community that’s willing to pay the steepest price imaginable.
It’s a quiet evolution that makes you want to explore Crockett Island for yourself. So can you? Here’s everything you need to know about where Midnight Mass was filmed and if you can visit it during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Is Crockett Island Real?
Considering the fate of Crockett Island, we don’t know if this is good or bad news. But no, Crockett Island as it appears in Midnight Mass is not real. The Crockett Cove Woods do exist in Maine, but from what we can tell they have no connection to the angel infested community from Netflix’s latest and spookiest original series.
Where Is Midnight Mass Supposed to Take Place? Where Is Crockett island Supposed to Be?
It’s hard to tell exactly where Crockett Island is supposed to be. But based on the accents used in the show and the prevalent sweaters and long-sleeved shirts, it seems as though the series is supposed to take place on an island around Northeast America. Think Nantucket in Massachusetts or Star Island off of New Hampshire but without the tourism.
Where Was Midnight Mass Filmed?
The actual filming location of this season comes straight from the horse’s mouth. In this case, the horse was Midnight Mass‘ creator, Mike Flanagan. In December of 2020, Flanagan revealed that production had wrapped and that the series had been filmed in Garry Point Park in Richmond, British Columbia.
Filming Midnight Mass was a unique experience for everyone involved. The cast and crew started production in December of 2019 and had to abandon the sets due to COVID. They spent months hoping that their sets, which were left to the mercy of the elements, would remain standing and that they could one day return to filming. Adding to the production drama, Midnight Mass was one of the first shows to resume production, forcing everyone to figure out best procedures on the fly for this never-before-experienced global catastrophe. Those silent prayers paid off. During its 83-day shoot, production never shut down, which was borderline unheard of in 2020.
Where Is Crockett Island? Can You Visit Midnight Mass‘s Filming Location Right Now?
So can you visit not-Crockett Island in real life? Absolutely. The Canadian Garry Point Park is located on the southwest tip of Richmond and is close to the historic Steveston Village. The park includes a Kuno garden, a Japanese-inspired memorial garden, Scotch Pond, the Fisherman’s Memorial Needle, and expansive open areas. As of September 27, the park and its designated BBQ area are both open. If you do visit, make sure you have proof of vaccination, which is required for certain activities in accordance with Provincial Health Orders. Enjoy the beautiful sunset, and be on the lookout for any “angels.”

Headaches often have several causes. Your neck may be at least part of the reason. There may be postural causes, such as slouching or “leading with the chin” when getting up from sitting. Stress may play a part in tensing up the muscles of the neck.
What are the different types of headache?
There are many types of headache, below are just three that can often be helped with physiotherapy:
- Cervicogenic headache means literally “headache which originates from the neck”. This is a condition which many people experience. It may arise from the joints or the muscles of the neck/shoulder and upper back, but is most often from the upper three vertebral levels of the neck. It may be related to an injury, such as whiplash, or due to poor postural alignment. Examples of bad posture include sitting slouched over the iPad, cycling long distances, or having the head turned to read documents beside the computer.
- Migraines are particularly disabling, in that sufferers may be unable to function normally during one. There is sometimes a neck or “cervical” component to migraine, along with hormonal, genetic and/or environmental factors.
- Tension or Stress headaches are often from the muscles of the neck which are “on” more than they should be for periods of time. This may be due to a tendency to “grip” with neck and shoulder muscles during times of stress.
Where is my headache from?
The neck (cervical spine) is made up of vertebrae (bones) which are connected to each other by discs and facet joints. During certain movements or sustained postures force can be placed on the joints, muscles and nerves in the neck, giving rise to neck pain and headache. Any of the structures of the top three vertebrae (i.e., joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves) can refer pain into the head. You may not even have neck pain, but the headache can still be from the neck.
Do I need a brain scan?
If there is every indication that your headaches are coming from your neck (cervicogenic), there is no need to rush to have an MRI of your brain. If you, your doctor or your physio have any concerns about you not responding to physiotherapy treatment, then such imaging is something that might be considered.
How does physiotherapy help headache?
The aim of physiotherapy treatment is to free up tight muscles/joints of the neck and upper back, so that movement is as normal as possible. There are many ways to do this, and physiotherapy may include any or all of the following: postural education, exercises to promote flexibility and neck muscle strength, massage, gentle mobilisation of the joints of the neck (at Macquarie Street Physiotherapy we do not use forceful manipulation), dry needling, and core exercises. (Why core exercises? Core exercises are important, as they teach you to use your trunk muscles to hold you up, instead of your neck muscles).
Is my pillow the problem?
If you have headaches that start in the night or are there when you wake up, you may need to look at your pillow. Ideally it keeps your head and neck in a neutral position, so not too high or low. Most adult necks do not like prone (tummy) sleeping, and hence lead to headache.
What else can I do?
Next time you feel that “tension” or “afternoon” headache starting, consider that it might actually be arising from your neck. Take a look at your posture, and consider how long you have been sitting for. Maybe it’s time to get up and walk around. Try to avoid prolonged turning (e.g., talking to a friend on the bus) or tipping the head (e.g., a phone to the ear). If you read on the train, keep the book/tablet/phone up at eye level not on your lap. Keeping the upper back flexible helps, as does generally keeping fit and mobile. If you are still experiencing headaches and you live or work near the Sydney City CBD please call Macquarie Street Physiotherapy on 02 9221 1604 to make an appointment.

Why Police Officers Need Patrol Rifles
When this instructor told me to sight my rifle for 25 yards, he hadn’t thought-about the place the bullet would find yourself beyond 25 yards. Without getting too involved in external ballistics, if we sight our rifles to ship the point of impression precisely on the point of aim at 25 yards, we might be roughly 2.2″ high at 50 yards, 5.5″ high at 100 yards and nearly 7.5″ high at 200 yards. All outside rifle qualification firing will be accomplished at 50 yards utilizing the FBI Q silhouette full-sized targets. Two of these targets might be mounted facet by aspect for each shooter. In addition, if an officer is using an optic while on duty, they have to qualify with that optic. On April 11, 1986, seven FBI agents confronted two closely armed armored car robbers who had previously murdered one man and severely wounded a second.
However, the sling is a chunk of equipment a lot of officers get tangled up in as a result of they’re not used to working around it. I recommend working towards your reloads, malfunction drills and different skills with the rifle slung to get used to working around it. One massive advantage for patrol rifles is that they’re easier to shoot nicely than other platforms.
Our colleges are designed to train and prepare the regulation enforcement officer to be a firearm teacher. Our faculties ARE NOT capturing schools and aren’t designed to show officers how to shoot. Students who attend our firearm teacher growth schools are expected to have a primary knowledge of the legislation enforcement firearms used and have the ability to safely and precisely use them. Without this basic background, college students may discover issue keeping pace with the instruction, sensible workout routines, and successful completion of the proficiency assessments. We expect all students to demonstrate secure gun dealing with at all times and have the ability to shoot constant ten-inch groups with a handgun at 25 yards upon arrival on the college.

Circulatory collapse outcomes from vital blood loss with a corresponding deprivation of oxygen to the brain. Rather it is a course of that can take several seconds to a number of minutes or even longer. During that time an officer’s adversary will remain functional and in a position to continue efforts to kill the officer. In reality, Patrick reports that a bullet wound that destroys a suspect’s coronary heart will permit him to proceed to shoot at an officer for 10 to 15 seconds after receiving a deadly bullet wound.
Any certified officer carrying a patrol rifle within the area shall keep the weapon in a patrol ready situation till deployed. A rifle is taken into account in a patrol prepared condition when it has been inspected by the assigned officer, the fire selector switch is in the secure place, the chamber is empty and a completely loaded magazine is inserted into the journal nicely. The shotgun is among the most underutilized tools obtainable to officers as a result of their coaching has did not instill confidence in their skills and eliminate the hesitation they’ve towards firing the shotgun.

- This zero is a solid alternative, but my recommendation is to make use of a 50/200 yard zero.
- The ability to field strip and reassemble the obligation firearm is a must as nicely.
It is unwise to scrimp on gear which can protect your life and the lives of the general public you’re sworn to guard and serve. FBI Q silhouette targets are used for rifle qualification, scoring might be all hits contained in the bottle – worth 5 factors; outdoors the bottle – value 0 points. All rifle qualification shall be carried out with a legislation-enforcement kind and caliber rifle. A whole of 60 rounds of ammunition shall be fired for rifle qualification. He grew to become an FBI agent and served in the FBI for 30 years, retiring in the place of supervisory special agent/chief division counsel. After the FBI, he served as a Massachusetts Deputy Inspector General and is currently a deputy sheriff for Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
Patrol Rifle Instructor
No modification shall be made to any patrol rifle with out prior written authorization from the Rangemaster. Any patrol rifle found to be unserviceable shall be faraway from The rifle shall be clearly labeled as “out of service” and details regarding the weapon’s situation shall be included on the label. We are presently accepting requests to sponsor NRA Law Enforcement Instructor Development Schools.
Optics are optionally available; nevertheless, I’m an enormous fan of magnified optics on patrol rifles for their advantage in risk assessment at a distance. In the absence of high-powered, high-capability rifles, officers referred to as to confront excessive-danger conditions are operating at a palpable and distinct drawback. They are sick outfitted to confront felons armed with excessive-velocity shoulder weapons. The body armor police put on shall be instantly defeated by rounds fired from these weapons and their handguns are tremendously inferior to the excessive-powered rifles being fired at them by event perpetrators.

They exited the bank and had been immediately confronted by several uniformed LAPD patrol officers. The responding officers have been armed with handguns and some had shotguns. We must persuade public officers that all legislation enforcement officers be supplied with and trained to make use of high-powered patrol rifles to simply match the firepower of weaponry used by violent offenders. Our first responders shouldn’t be despatched into kill zones with handguns when their adversaries are armed with devastating high-velocity weapons. Responsibly coaching patrol officers on how to deploy patrol rifles is of the utmost importance to ensure they will deploy with velocity and hearth with precision whereas sustaining safety and accountability.

The White Dress Project (TWDP), a nonprofit organization that raises global awareness about the uterine fibroid epidemic, on Friday will kick off its EmPOWERment Experience in Washington, D.C., a weekend-long event commemorating National Fibroid Awareness Month.
The celebration is themed, “Freedom to Blossom,” encouraging women to embrace their fibroids journey and to act as their own health advocates. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from other fibroid patients and guest speakers; participate in morning meditation and yoga; and attend TWDP’s premier event, A Night in White.
“A lot of times, we feel so silenced by this condition, and we feel that we can’t share, that we don’t have anybody to talk to. It’s embarrassing,” said Tanika Gray Valbrun, founder and president of TWDP. “There’s trauma behind it, but we want people to own their narrative and have influence and authority over the health decisions that they’re going to be making.”
TWDP was founded in 2014 by Valbrun, who began her own journey with uterine fibroids, or noncancerous growths of the uterus, as a teenager.
Valbrun was always the girl who brought an extra bag of clothes with her everywhere she went and the girl who needed to take several bathroom breaks during road trips because of her heavy periods and frequent urination. She couldn’t wear white, she suffered from anemia and using tampons was out of the question.
But, for Valbrun, this was her normal.
It wasn’t until her mid twenties that Valbrun was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Her doctor told her her uterus was seriously compromised, and her only treatment option was a hysterectomy.
Valbrun was devastated by the diagnosis. Her dreams of becoming pregnant were shattered.
She decided to at least get a second opinion, and fortunately, the doctor was able to perform a myomectomy, a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids that preserves a woman’s ability to reproduce.
Valbrun was given a drug to shrink her fibroids before the surgery and had an adverse reaction, so in 2013, she was brought in for emergency surgery and had 27 fibroids removed.
“That was the beginning of the White Dress Project because while I was in recovery for eight weeks, I just thought to myself I don’t understand how there’s no one asking me for money about this or no walks
] runs,” said Valbrun. “I walked into my closet, and I was like ‘I don’t even own any white,’ and it was literally at that moment I decided I was going to do something about this.”
In the U.S., fibroids affect 70 to 80 percent of women between the ages of 35 and 54. Fibroid incidence is even higher in Black women with 80 percent of them developing the growths by age 50. Black women are also more likely to experience more severe symptoms from their fibroids than their White counterparts.
TWDP works to ensure all women are educated on uterine fibroids and their treatment options, and the organization advocates for more research and funding surrounding fibroids.
Nearly every woman on the nonprofit’s board has had their own experience with fibroids, which allows them to create compassionate, comprehensive programming.
During TWDP’s EmPOWERment Experience, each day women will attend afternoon sessions to cover topics about fibroid awareness, including the latest developments in fibroid treatment, managing mental health while living with fibroids and non-surgical treatment options.
“We just want everybody to be amplified and empowered and to know that their story matters. Once you feel that then you know you’re ready to blossom and you have the freedom to share, to ask for a second option, to question a doctor, to do additional research
] to join organizations like ours,” said Valbrun. “You get the freedom to do that because you’ve owned your own story.”

A proposal to strip $70 million from the Legal Services Corp. isn’t the only thing weighing heavily on the minds of legal aid providers.
Many of their programs have already sustained significant reductions in state support and declines in money from Interest On Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (IOLTA) during the past three years. Federal, state and IOLTA money are the financial foundation of most legal aid programs in the country — and all are hurting. “It just devastating,” said Betty Balli Torres, president of the National Association of IOLTA Programs. “The cuts are coming from everywhere.”
Funding from IOLTA has dropped significantly as interest rates have fallen to historic lows. IOLTA generated $371 million for legal aid groups in 2007 when interest rates were at 5.25%, according to Torres. Those rates are now at 0.25% or lower, and IOLTA brought in $125 million in 2009 — a 66% decrease.
Congress established IOLTA in 1980 as a way to help support legal services for indigent people. A portion of interest derived from certain lawyer trust accounts is distributed to legal aid providers.
State support has also been harder to come by for legal aid providers in recent years as lawmakers have grappled with budget shortfalls. The Texas Legislature stepped up to fill the IOLTA funding gap with a one-time emergency allocation of $20 million for legal aid in 2009 and 2010, but 2011 is a different story. The state’s preliminary budget would cut legal aid funding by $23 million — 51% of the total.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has proposed reallocating 75% of the money generated by a $4 justice information fee, typically a court fee or a filing fee. That money has gone to legal aid providers in the past, but it would be used to fund other projects in the criminal justice system under Walker’s proposal. Legal aid providers have said it would result in a $4 million loss in funding.
The Legal Services of New Jersey system, which is made up of six legal aid organizations across the state, saw a nearly $10 million decrease in state support during the 2010-11 fiscal year coupled with a decline in IOLTA money from more than $40 million in 2007 to $8 million in 2010. It has cut about 200 of its 700 positions since 2007 as a result.
Lawmakers in New Hampshire are weighing a proposed $1.7 million cut in support for New Hampshire Legal Assistance — about half’s the group’s budget. That cut could force the closure of four of New Hampshire Legal Assistance’s seven offices.

A task force created last year to study whether Family Court civil proceedings would benefit from being open to the public will issue a report Tuesday, April 15 that says two case types should change from closed to open.
During the final task force meeting between the 13-member panel agreed on Tuesday, April 8, the current presumption of closed proceedings should be changed to a presumption of open in cases involving paternity, divorce, alimony, and property division cases.
The task force will also recommend the continued presumption of closed proceedings for cases involving adoption, custody, visitation, termination of parental rights, permanent guardianship, guardianship and child protection matters; and a continued presumption of open proceedings involving cases of child support, protection from abuse, and juvenile felonies and misdemeanors.
The report will recommend allowing judges discretion to close matters presumed open when there are safety concerns because of a number of reasons, but they essentially all have anything to do with where the court finds an overriding interest is served and no less restrictive means is available.
In addition to the formal recommendations, the task force suggested a number of steps the court system as a whole could take to improve the experience for litigants. The theme was centered around the systematic reeducation for all officers of the courts – judges, attorneys, Attorney General's Office, child advocates, and any other person who represents the court at any level.
Family Court Chief Judge Chandlee Kuhn said the problems are not with just the courts, but with the entire system. She said litigants should be made aware that a lot of the information they need can be found on the state's court system website.
“Folks have to take some responsibility,” the chief judge said.
Task force members Reps. Michael Ramone, R-Middle Run Valley, and John L. Mitchell, D-Elsmere, and Sens. Bruce Ennis, D-Smyrna, and Dave Lawson, R-Marydel, were assigned the job of writing any legislation that will be introduced to the General Assembly.
Bonnie Henriksen-Corwin of the Delaware Coalition for Open Government had attended previous meetings when public comment was taken and was in the audience while the task force hashed out the final details.
Henriksen-Corwin said she was glad the task force has recommended a change that would open some Family Court proceedings to the public. She said she believes in transparency versus the way it's been, which, she said, was all about politics and power.
Henriksen-Corwin said the recommendation was just the beginning of the process and she is looking forward to much greater conversation in the future when the General Assembly addresses the issue.

This chart shows the number of students who are absent from school more than 10% of the time. In eight years it has gone from 135,000 to 315,000.
And what is the Government’s answer to this. Stuff reports:
“Do we have a culture of excuses for children not being at school? Like somehow it is the school’s fault for not being exciting enough?” Goldsmith asked.
“What I’m seeing is lots of talk, lots of concern, but still a culture of excuses.”
Secretary for Education Iona Holsted said prosecution was not the answer and schools needed to be desirable.
“The answer is to make sure schools are places kids want to be, because they have alternatives. They walk,” Holsted said.
This is, with respect, bullshit. First of all what part of “compulsory education” is hard to understand.
But the truancy is not something happening just with say bored teenagers. It is in every year.
The Year 2 truancy rate has climbed from 29% to 43%. Is the Government really saying that this is because six year olds have alternatives??? Do we really think six year olds are not attending because they don’t see school as desirable?
This is a parenting issue. We need to stop blaming everything on the system and start talking personal responsibility.

Photographing intimate events and creating 6”x6” photographic books is a way to return to the cherished affair. The destiny of interactions and events, ‘now’ live within a social media memory universe. Take a few steps back in time and have a stunning analog of the extraordinary event.
Make it as special as you intended.

After adding some spending programs, the City Council yesterday unanimously approved Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's proposed changes to the city's current budget, including a plan for allocating about $320 million in unexpected tax revenues.
The Council added $18 million to the Mayor's antidrug initiative, bringing it to more than $80 million. It allocated nearly $2 million to cover costs associated with an outbreak of poisonous mold that has forced the closure of public libraries in Staten Island. And it approved a proposal to increase recycling pickups at two community boards in Queens and one in Brooklyn.
Mr. Giuliani had called for the city to add $240 million to its so-called rainy-day fund, but after the increased spending is taken into account, the new money will come to about $214 million, officials said. The fund is now just over $700 million, officials said.Continue reading the main story
