She broke obstacles. Then she broke her personal profession.
On Wednesday, embattled comic Ellen DeGeneres confirmed that she’ll finish her eponymous discuss present after subsequent season.
The writing was already on the wall — her contract was up anyway in 2022, a supply informed The Publish. DeGeneres’ official cause for her exit is that her present is “simply not a problem anymore.” However for months she’s been dogged by scandal and “Ellen” has reportedly seen a dip in its scores and its skill to e-book A-list company.
DeGeneres, 63, has change into a flashpoint for controversy ever since allegations of “Ellen” having a “poisonous office atmosphere” behind the scenes broke final summer time — contrasting together with her affable public picture and her catchphrase, “be type.”
“That ‘be type’ bullsh–t solely occurs when the cameras are on. It’s all for present,” one former worker told Buzzfeed News in July.
DeGeneres declined to touch upon this text, however in September, she addressed the controversy on-air in her first Season 18 monologue.
“As you will have heard, this summer time there have been allegations of a poisonous work atmosphere at our present after which there was an investigation,” she stated. “I take that very critically and I wish to say I’m so sorry to the folks that had been affected… I take duty for what occurs at my present.”
DeGeneres has a busy slate other than “The Ellen DeGeneres Present,” producing “Ellen’s Recreation of Video games” and “The Masked Dancer” on NBC, “Ellen’s Subsequent Nice Designer” on HBO Max, and “Endangered” on Discovery+, amongst others. It stays to be seen how the tip of “Ellen” will influence the remainder of her profession — however her tarnished public picture is a far cry from the place she began.
DeGeneres first rose to prominence on the stand-up comedy scene within the 1980s, with a breakthrough 1986 look on “The Tonight Present Starring Johnny Carson.” Her jokes had been broad crowd-pleasers such as, “My grandmother began strolling 5 miles a day when she was 60. She’s 97 in the present day and we don’t know the place the hell she is.”
She turned a star together with her sitcom “Ellen,” which aired from 1994-1998. On “The Pet Episode” in Season four, which aired on April 30, 1997, she made historical past by popping out as homosexual on TV. She additionally appeared on the quilt of Time and did specials with Oprah and Diane Sawyer.
Her cause for popping out on TV was to free herself of “disgrace” she said in 2017.
“I did some work on myself, some deep soul-searching, and realized I used to be actually carrying round a whole lot of disgrace … Irrespective of what number of occasions I attempted to rationalize that I didn’t want anybody to know, I knew that it was a secret. And I knew that there was a chance that folks would hate me for the easy incontrovertible fact that regardless of how a lot they beloved my comedy or my present, however they could hate me in the event that they knew I used to be homosexual. It turned extra essential to me than my profession.”
She noticed a simple transition for her character, Ellen Morgan, to understand that she was homosexual, too, “which was why her relationships with males weren’t figuring out,” she stated.
It was a game-changer for Hollywood and for the LGBTQ neighborhood — however it was hardly easy crusing from there.
Though a whopping 42 million individuals tuned in and “The Pet Episode” earned an Emmy and Peabody award, ABC axed the present in 1998.
“[The show ended] as a result of I got here out,” DeGeneres informed Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast in 2018. “This can be a lengthy, lengthy story — however they actually didn’t need me to return out. They lastly let me come out, and it was an enormous success the night time of. It was big. It was celebrated … after which they only stopped selling it as a result of all people was scared. We had been dropping sponsors, in order that they had been simply performing like, ‘We’re simply letting it glide. We’re not going to the touch it.’ I received no extra promoting, I received no extra promotion. So that they canceled it.”
She also alleged that fellow LGBTQ celebs comparable to Elton John informed her to “shut up already” about being homosexual within the aftermath. “Individuals had been making enjoyable of me. I used to be actually depressed,” she stated.
In 2001, DeGeneres adopted it up with short-lived CBS sitcom “The Ellen Present,” that was critically panned and canceled after simply 13 episodes. “I wasn’t positive if I used to be going to work once more,” DeGeneres told Out in 2016 about that section of her profession. “I used to be at all-time low and out of cash, with no work in sight. However one step at a time, it will get higher.”
DeGeneres was within the odd place of getting reached essential and business success — however nonetheless being a relative underdog within the business.
“It was every kind of different classes of studying what it’s wish to not be beloved and to be the butt of all people’s joke on tv and in magazines,” DeGeneres told Oprah Winfrey in 2015. “I needed to be taught what that feels wish to not let issues like that get to you.”
Following the cancellation of “Ellen” and the failure of “The Ellen Present,” she discovered her footing in 2003 with the launch of “The Ellen DeGeneres Present” and her function voicing the ditzy cartoon fish Dory, in Pixar hit “Discovering Nemo.” Dory’s slogan, “simply maintain swimming,” was each literal for the character and figurative about persevering by means of life’s difficulties — which match DeGeneres’ picture as a celeb with hard-won success and America’s de-facto enjoyable aunt.
Nonetheless, it wasn’t a seamless leap to “The Ellen DeGeneres Present.” Aided by Warner Bros. exec Jim Paratore, she took it on tour to persuade station managers.
“Jim was a straight, white man, and he beloved me, and he couldn’t imagine the resistance from all these station managers who didn’t wish to purchase my present,” DeGeneres told the Telegraph in 2016.
“They stated: she’s a homosexual lady, and the ladies at residence watching daytime TV are straight housewives with children – what does she have in widespread with them? So Jim stated: we’re happening tour – you’re going to indicate them who you’re. So I needed to go from metropolis to metropolis. We’d make these males come out and sit within the viewers. They had been wanting round and seeing what sort of viewers I had.”
She additionally started a relationship with “Arrested Growth” star Portia de Rossi in 2004, they usually tied the knot in 2008.
DeGeneres’ pioneering path for the LGBTQ neighborhood and her cheerful and down-to-earth picture earned mass public goodwill that lasted for twenty years. She turned the queen of inoffensive and healthful comedy, with materials that households can watch collectively with out worrying about salacious feedback or scathing zingers.
She additionally served as a visitor decide on “American Idol” in 2010, racked up a whopping 30 Emmys and a Presidential Medal of Freedom (awarded in 2016).
She was steadily tapped to host awards reveals such because the Grammys (in 1996 and 1997), the Oscars ( 2007 and 2014), and the Emmys (in 2001 and 2005) following Hurricane Katrina, the place she was given the thankless job of making a festive environment within the wake of nationwide tragedy. As a number, DeGeneres was a protected selection — the other of business colleagues comparable to Ricky Gervais, who’s recognized for gleefully lobbing insults.
Her public picture is encapsulated in her most memorable Oscars second: it wasn’t a chopping joke about Leonardo DiCaprio’s courting life — as a substitute, it’s an enormous group selfie of A-listers. Cute, however not precisely scathing stuff.
As soon as “The Ellen DeGeneres Present” turned a popular culture staple, her viewers was primarily comprised of girls within the “mother” demographic. For essentially the most half, her celeb interviews didn’t reveal juicy info — they went viral for harmlessly goofy oddities comparable to Kristen Bell’s obsession with sloths.
Nevertheless, there have been hints alongside the way in which that DeGeneres wasn’t training what she preached together with her “be type” mantra. As an example, in 2008, when Mariah Carey appeared on “Ellen,” DeGeneres pressured the pop star into disclosing her pregnancy on TV.
“I can’t imagine you probably did this to me Ellen… That is peer strain,” Carey stated on-screen, when DeGeneres provided her Champagne. After Carey pretended to take a sip, DeGeneres known as out, “You’re pregnant!”
Tragically, Carey ended up having a miscarriage. Her twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon had been born in 2011. “I used to be extraordinarily uncomfortable with that second is all I can say,” Carey told Vulture in August, reflecting on her “Ellen” look. “And I actually have had a tough time grappling with the aftermath. I wasn’t prepared to inform anybody as a result of I had had a miscarriage. I don’t wish to throw anybody that’s already being thrown underneath any proverbial bus, however I didn’t take pleasure in that second.”
“Ellen” has attracted cream-of-the-crop A-listers who knew they’d be handled with child gloves, however other than Carey’s interview, there have nonetheless been stray awkward moments comparable to a 2019 look from Dakota Johnson, wherein DeGeneres accused Johnson of not inviting her to her party.
“Truly, no, that’s not the reality, Ellen,” Johnson said.
Even earlier than “Ellen” was formally investigated for its poisonous office atmosphere, rumors about DeGeneres’ conduct began flying in March of 2020, due to a viral Twitter thread from comic Kevin T. Porter asking individuals to reply “with essentially the most insane tales you’ve heard about Ellen being imply.”
His replies had been flooded with anecdotes comparable to one from Chris Farah, a former waitress who stated she as soon as served DeGeneres.
“She wrote a letter to the proprietor & complained about my chipped nail polish (not that it was on her plate however simply that it was on my hand). I had labored until closing the night time earlier than & this was subsequent morn, nearly received me fired,” Farah shared.
One other fan chimed in and alleged, “My buddy wrote for the Ellen Present for 2 years and informed me Ellen didn’t greet her as soon as. In reality, upon employment, workers had been informed they weren’t allowed to speak to her.”
Author and comic Benjamin Siemon (“Loopy Ex Girlfriend”) claimed that DeGeneres had weird guidelines about her staff’ hygiene.
“She has a ‘delicate nostril’ so everybody should chew gum from a bowl exterior her workplace earlier than speaking to her and if she thinks you odor that day you need to go residence and bathe,” he said.
“A brand new workers member was informed “day-after-day she picks somebody totally different to essentially hate,” he continued. “It’s not your fault, simply suck it up for the day and she or he’ll be imply to another person the following day. They didn’t imagine it however it ended up being totally true.”
These accounts painted a tyrannical image that’s an enormous departure from DeGeneres’ “good” persona — and from the underdog she began out with, following her coming-out second and its backlash.
The investigation of “Ellen’s” office additionally got here on the heels of an April report from Variety that crew members had been “livid” after “Ellen” left them within the mud with no communication about their continued employment as soon as the pandemic hit.
However even now that the dominos have fallen on “Ellen,” it’s not black and white, since not everybody sees her as a villain.
A supply near the manufacturing informed The Publish, “The reality is there’s a whole lot of gratitude amongst her workers that she didn’t simply stop after final summer time, and has stored all of them employed this season throughout a pandemic. And now, all of them get to work for a complete different season subsequent 12 months.”
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday concerning the finish of “Ellen,” DeGeneres stated, “This tradition we’re dwelling is… one the place you may’t be taught and develop, which is, as human beings, what we’re right here to do.”

The modern marriage decoded
Social psychologist Eli Finkel recently published a book called The All-or-Nothing Marriage, focusing on the shifts in expectations we’ve had for our romantic partners over the last century.
He notes that the main change has been that we’ve added, on top of the expectation that we’re going to love and cherish our spouse, the expectation that our spouse will help us grow, help us become a better and more authentic version of ourselves. This expectation germinated in the 1960s with the rise of humanistic psychology, priming the ideal that we should be "true to ourselves" in the life we lead.
The research indicates that Americans today have raised their expectations of marriage, and in SOME instances, can in fact achieve an unprecedentedly high level of marital quality — but only if they are able to invest a great deal of time and energy in their partnership. If they are not able to do so, their marriage will likely fall short of these new expectations, and the union will likely be torn asunder.
So, what we can conclude is, if you have the time and resources to nurture your relationship, the psychological and physiological benefits of this type of partnership abound. However, if you don't, the high demands and expectations can be debilitating. Research shows that couples who had “time alone with each other, talking, or sharing an activity” at least once per week were 3.5 times more likely to be very happy in their marriage than spouses who did so less frequently.
Modern life asks of us to be in a zillion places at once, and this has been deleterious to the marriage. We are spending more time at work, socializing with friends and colleagues, exercising and caring for our children, than we are spending on nurturing the lifeblood of the partnership.
Now, this isn't "bad," however if we take the tenet: "what we nurture grows," it is no wonder that divorce rates have increased at the same time as the number of ways we have been asked to split our time has skyrocketed.
What is there to be done if we want to feel like we are growing as individuals and have a healthy, vital (read: not drained) partnership?
Couples can choose to invest more time and energy in their marriage. But if time and energy are not available, we must adjust expectations by focusing on cultivating an affectionate bond without trying to facilitate each other’s self-actualization.
This is what the above sounds like when communicated; I love Finkel's language in describing a union where we "go all in:"
The question isn’t, “Are you asking too much?” The question is, “Are you asking the appropriate amount, in light of the nature of the relationship right now?”
The idea of “going all-in” is, “Hell yes. I want to ask my spouse to help make me feel loved and give me an opportunity to love somebody else and also [be] somebody who’s going to help me grow into an ideal, authentic version of myself. And I’m going do the same for him or her. I recognize that that is a massive ask, and because I recognize that that’s a massive ask I’m going to make sure that we have sufficient time together. That when we’re together we’re paying sufficient attention to each other, that the time that we’re investing in the relationship is well-spent.”

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information and point-of-care solutions for the healthcare industry and health professions students, today announced that Lippincott NCLEX-RN® PassPoint has been selected as the only NCLEX Exam preparation solution officially endorsed by the Canadian Nursing Students' Association (CNSA). Lippincott PassPoint is a prominent NCLEX-preparation learning tool in the United States, and is now poised to become a familiar resource in Canada.
Beginning in 2015, all new nurses in Canada will be required to pass the standard U.S. National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to meet certification. Although all registered nurses working in the United States are highly familiar with and have passed the NCLEX, this is the first time it will be required in Canada.
"As Canadian nursing students gear up for NCLEX, many are going to want to supplement their learning and knowledge so that they can be well prepared for the exam," said Reid Sherline, VP Publishing, Professional & Education, Wolters Kluwer Health. "Lippincott PassPoint is going to help Canadian nursing students improve their exam preparedness just as it has in the U.S. through exposure to adaptive testing and with the personalized insight into their performance."
Lippincott PassPoint is a powerful, online learning tool created specifically to help students hone their understanding and improve preparedness for NCLEX-RN. The product is powered by prepU, an adaptive learning system that continually adjusts to each student's demonstrated level of learning. The NCLEX is a computerized adaptive test, so the adaptive nature of PassPoint provides an authentic practice experience. Research shows that nearly 99 percent of students who use PassPoint report that they pass NCLEX — more than 10 percentage points higher than the U.S. national average.
In PassPoint, students can take practice quizzes that adapt in difficulty and reinforce knowledge of individual needs, topics or nursing concepts. With each new quiz, the system adapts to the student's current knowledge level, so the questions are neither too easy nor too hard. They also can take simulated NCLEX-RN exams to gauge their readiness for the actual licensure experience. Students can take practice exams as many times as they wish and benchmark their performance across time. PassPoint also provides detailed performance insight to help instructors and students determine where to focus future study.
"We are impressed with Lippincott PassPoint partly due to its adaptive nature, which is quite similar to NCLEX itself and also based on the success it has achieved in the U.S.," said Rajet Anand, President of the Canadian Nursing Students' Association (CNSA). "Our endorsement is intended to send the message that Canadian students can benefit from some extra preparation to be ready to face this exam and by using PassPoint they can be assured that they are using a resource with proven ability to improve readiness."
Comprising nearly 30,000 members, CNSA is the national voice of Canadian nursing students. CNSA is a bilingual and pan-Canadian organization advocating for the needs of all nursing students, fostering leadership and advocating for the evolving interests of nursing students.
Lippincott PassPoint helps prepare students to succeed in nursing practice through the use of leading-edge, evidence-based content. The product links directly to content from both Lippincott Procedures and Lippincott Advisor, two of the most trusted online clinical information solutions used by thousands of direct-care nurses at the bedside to support better patient care through evidence-based practice.

Another awesome cashout :)
Libby got lucky when she got to 3 and all she got as a punishment from her Dad (Dean) was a scolding and her phone being taken away for two days. I hope she can behave so she can get it back, but somehow I don't think she is going to be able to *giggles*
I can't wait for another chapter soon!

Flooding from Tropical Storm Lee dealt another blow to farmers, following an already difficult summer. It will take awhile to get a full picture of the damage in areas hit by flooding. Mark O’Neill of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau says some farmers still can’t get to all of their fields. He says conservative estimates put the losses at tens of millions of dollars, but it may take weeks or more to get a complete tally.
O’Neill says farmers need to document their damage, including taking photos when possible, and contact their local farm service agency to report their losses as soon as possible. He says that way the farm service agency can try to get further assistance for farmers. He says crop insurance will help, but won’t cover all of the loss.
O’Neill says it’s already been a tough summer. Hurricane Irene knocked down some corn crops and dropped fruits in orchards. Excessive rain has hit vegetable crops. He says tomatoes can crack on the vine from too much moisture. There’s also the potential for rot and mold with the additional rain from Lee, affecting anything from cucumbers to pumpkins. A rainy spring delayed the planting of some crops.
There was a bit of good news. In northeastern Pennsylvania, flood waters blocked numerous roads. As a result, some dairy farmers could not transport their milk to processors. Some had to dump the milk. But O’Neill says they’re getting word some of those farmers will be paid as if they delivered that milk.
Meanwhile, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says 2011 is the worst year for weather disasters resulting in losses of one billion dollars or more. Hurricane Irene put the total at 10, topping the 9 incidents in 2008. Officials do not believe at this time that damage from Lee will reach that mark, but those totals are still being tallied. The year has been marked by record floods, tornadoes and drought.

S: Morocco 2009
FC: Morocco | Kendra & Jerrol November 2009 | Moroccan Honeymoon
1: Day 1: We arrived at Casablanca airport at 7:00PM local time after 24 hours of travel time (six hours in Paris airport) to get there. We jumped right into practicing some poorly pronounced French by buying tickets on the local train from the airport to the main train station - Casa Voyageurs. We successfully passed through our first gauntlet of taxi drivers and tour operators to make it to our first hotel -Ibis Moussafir, an adventurous 100 yards from the train station. After checking in, we practiced our French some more in the local market “avez vous un pepsi?” Trs authentiqe. We did come across an area with a bunch of fruit stands where we tag-teamed the vendor with French and Arabic. Jerrol’s single “La” (No! In Arabic) was appreciated much more than any French Kendra muddled through and entertained the street vendors for the night. | Morocco
2: Once in Marrakech we met Bilal, our driver, at the nice new train station. He took us to a very western style supermarket where we bought some staples for our trip to the mountains along with some Moroccan pizzas. Jerrol first thought it had tuna on it, but we soon realized this is what chicken more naturally tastes like. Then off to Imlil about and hour and a half up in the mountains. | Day 2: Awoke the next morning to the only rain we saw while in Morocco. The breakfast was a mix of western and Arabic cooking, including homemade yoghurt, flat bread and yummy eggs. We sat next to a Canadian couple on our 3 hour train ride to Marrakech: Marie, whose mother was a Cormier from Belle Cote (Cape Breton) and Gunnar, a Swede who was a mechanical engineer for Bell Canada in the early ‘80s. Small world! The scenery during the train ride was beautiful - very rural. Most people lived on small farms and used what resources they had on hand, including many pastures contained by cactus fences.
3: Bilal helped us with our Arabic and pointed out little Berber Villages. Valleys looked like what we thought Copper Canyons of Mexico would with narrow roads and lots of families, goats, donkeys and honking horns. Both the colors of the scenery as well as the children were gorgeous. Our first impression was that the people were striking (definitely different than the Arabic Moroccans) but must have a hard life, most getting by with very little. Imlil is a bustling little village of about 1,000 people that is a base for many treks. Hassan, a guide, helped us up (had to carry bags about a quarter mile from road) to Douar Samra, our inn. There we had Mint tea on the roof deck and discussed treks. We decided on no guide, but bought a very good topo map. Beautiful scenery and sunny day.
4: Went on walk into town looking for ATM but there was none. Everyone was very friendly and wanting to sell us something. J practiced Salaam Aliekem (Arabic hello). Back at hotel spent some time on roof deck watching sun set and listening to call to prayer. The calls from 5 villages down the canyon echoed off each other. You could see the shepherds herding goats down from the mountain tops into the village.
5: Dinner back at Douar Samra with Rachida, our house manager, and Mohammad, pushy butler type and three travelers from England. GREAT dinner. Back at the room around 9:00, it took about half an hour to get our fire going (only form of heat since there is no electricity) and snuggled up in very warm linens to end our first full day in Morocco.
6: Day Three: Had breakfast with other travelers, promptly at 8, so we didn't disappoint the punctual Mohammad. Then went for our trail run/ hike of 14 miles around two 10,000 foot peaks. Went through two villages that had no road or electricity. A very nice man helped us through the first village as it was more confusing than you would think a village of probably around 500 or so would be. The women washed the clothes in the river that ran through the village and laid the cloths out on the rocks to dry.
7: Had to climb up over 1500 feet to get back over a saddle of the mountains and then back down another 1800 feet where we met up with the road for our last three miles back up another 1000 feet to our inn. By the time we got back we had climbed over 4000 feet and needless to say were pretty tired. However we did it all in 4 and a half hours and Mohammad said it usually takes people six to seven to do that route so he was pretty impressed. Jerrol inhaled too much Moroccan dust and started to get a little cold.
10: Day Four: The next morning we had to leave very early to make it to our bus back in Marrakech. But we did and the four and a half hours worth of travel to get to Essaouira was totally uneventful if not a little tedious.
11: Essouiara is a beautiful little city of about 25,000 people on the Atlantic. Got checked into our amazing hotel Madada Mogador and then went out to buy a few things including some cold medicine for Jerrol, something to keep our heads cool while on our horse trip and some dinner. We accomplished all three with the advice of our hotels French owner, Sophie. Jerrol had one of the best meals of his life for dinner when he ordered a sweet beef Tangine (meat and vegetables cooked over fire in a clay pot). Then we had a nice evening stroll back to our room inside the ancient ramparts of the medina.
12: Day Five: Next morning we drove to the next town over to meet at the café Hendrix (yes named after Jimmy Hendrix) for the start of our three-day horse trek. There we met the other guest that would be riding with us, Natalie, a nineteen year old girl from Switzerland that had just done the same trip back in August. We met all the staff at Zouina-Cheval that would be accompanying us. Then we met our horses. Jerrol would be riding Chocolat, a dark brown Arab Barb stallion that was five years old. Kendra was riding Oscar another Arab Barb stallion that was nine years old. Natalie road a horse named Kissme that was very dominant but beautiful.
13: Chocolat | Etoile | Oscar | Kissme | Salaam
14: Actually, Barb Arab stallions are known for being very “hot blooded” horses with attitudes and physical abilities to match. We found this out right away when we were leaving the corrals and Kissme got a little too close to Kendra’s horse Oscar. So Oscar started kicking at Kissme and Kissme decided to rear (attempting to kick Oscar with his front hooves) all the while Kendra and Natalie were riding them.
15: That was when we learned that these stallions have a definite pecking order and don't do well when they get to close to each other especially certain combinations of horses. Having said that Jerrol’s horse Chocolat (The second fastest horse) was a very easy horse to handle and never gave him any problems.
17: What can we say, the next three days were easily our favorite part of the trip. Our guides, Najiib and Yassine were great. Najiib our trail leader and part owner ,was a little quiet but very nice. Yassine had only been riding for four years but was a natural and spoke some English as well as French, Spanish, and Arabic and was a very funny guy. There was also Abdesalaam who would drive ahead with the truck to our lunch and camp sites to prepare the meals and set up the Arabic style tent that we ate and slept in. He sang for us the first night and it absolutely blew us away. He had an amazing voice and the others started playing percussion with buckets and clapping. Just awesome and that was right before we had our goat stew tangine which was also amazing.
18: Day Six: Our second day on the horses we road for about five hours total with a two hour break for lunch and nap thrown in the middle. We were able to gallop (run at full speed) the horses a number of times before lunch and after lunch we had about a one hour ride down towards the ocean. When we got to the ocean we could do whatever we wanted but it took so much strength and coordination to hold on when the hoses galloped that we just followed the others. When we ran the horses on the beach it was so exhilarating and scary at the same time. So we ran the horses for about fifteen minutes and trotted some before we got to our camp on the beach.
23: Another amazing meal and Jerrol had started to feel better and had got his appetite back. Unfortunately, later that night Kendra came down with some sort of stomach bug and was throwing up throughout the night and would continue to be sick for about 30 more hours. By the time we stopped for lunch the next day, she could barely stay on her horse. Yassine arranged for one of his friends to come get her on a four wheeler and take her back and let her rest. The rest of us took about an hour and a half more to get back to where we started and where Kendra was resting in the Care of Abdesalaam.
24: That night we layed low back in Essaouira and got up early the next morning to have breakfast on the hotel roof. Kendra’s appetite started coming back and was feeling better.
25: Day Seven: We were staying in the old Medina In Marrekech and it is CRAZY. Jerrol developed ulcers as Kendra tried to work with the driver in French on how to find our riad. Really and truly think of a city built like a rat maze where streets narrow so much only a scooter can get through and where some streets look like they should connect to other streets but then mysteriously dead-end and where most of the streets, and no alley-ways, don’t even have names. We had to get out of the car at some point and walk the last five minutes with the luggage. When we finally arrived the front entrance gave no clue at how beautiful the interior of our hotel would be.
26: Once we checked in and settled ourselves, we were able to gather enough courage to head out into the medina on our own. We were able to do this with a relative amount of ease. We had dinner at the edge of the Jma Al Fna. It could be the best place in the world to people watch. Sights included people playing musical instruments, story telling, snake charming, and selling almost anything they could carry. There were about 100 different food vendors set up, selling orange juice, tea, spices and tempting goat heads. On our way home, we decided to be adventurous and walk through the local’s souks (market). We got a turned around a couple of times but were able to make it back without help. Off to sleep in our little piece of paradise amongst the chaos.
27: Day Eight: The next morning we had breakfast with an interesting couple form London. They hadn't been into the medina without a guide, so we all decided to head back into the heart of the medina for a little sight seeing and to do what tourists do in Marrakech, bargain hunt! It took us a few minutes to get into the practice of haggling, but we soon found our feet and picked up a few souvenirs. We had to catch a train, so we left our London friends in the middle of the medina, slightly scared to be by themselves. Day Nine: The rest of our trip back to Casablanca and then back home was very easy, but a bit long. We had plenty of time to reflect back on the first trip on the journey that will be our life together as Mr and Mrs Lackey. The one thing that we feel most strongly about was that we want to go back to Morocoo again and maybe some day experience what it has to offer with family and friends.

In a move that will no doubt rankle the efforts of anti-gay institutions, the psychiatrist who published a controversial 2001 study proclaiming that “highly motivated” gay and lesbian people could change their sexual orientation is now retracting his initial claims.
Psychiatrist Bob Spitzer, who had ironically led the effort to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness in 1973, told American Prospect that he now wants to retract his study, while addressing several of the ample criticisms against its findings.
“In retrospect, I have to admit I think the critiques are largely correct,” said the 80-year-old Spitzer, who is now retired and suffering from Parkinson’s disease. “The findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more.”
After noting that failed attempts to rid oneself of homosexual attractions “can be quite harmful,” he then requested writer Gabriel Arana print a retraction of his 2001 study, “so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Interestingly, Arana claims to have undergone therapy for over three years with Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, co-founder and former president of the National Association for the Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), in an effort to change his own sexual orientation.

In the residence where he lived with his mother, 100 .22 caliber ammunition of foreign origin were seized
Federal highway police officer Gervásio Jovane Rodrigues was arrested this Wednesday (3) for two crimes of non-compliance with a protective measure in the city of Ponta Porã. The arrest was carried out by the team from the Dourados Women’s Assistance Police Station (DAM) with support from the Federal Highway Police (PRF).
According to police information, the preventive arrest warrant was issued by the 3rd Criminal Court of Dourados. Therefore, it was found that the target of the arrest warrant was residing on the border, at his mother’s residence.
The DAM team accompanied by the PRF, also from Dourados, went to the city of Ponta Porã to arrest the suspect. After complying with the court order of arrest, a search was carried out at the residence, considering the suspicion of possession of an unregistered firearm.
Despite not locating a firearm, the team seized 100 .22 caliber ammunition of foreign origin, which is why they charged Gervásio with illegal possession of firearm ammunition for permitted use.
Therefore, the crime that led to the issuance of the arrest warrant remains under investigation by the DAM of Dourados.

TheInfluence of Young Children’s Use of Technology on Their Learning:
Ching-TingHsin,Ming-Chaun Li,andChin-Chung Tsai (2014)
Inthis study, the authors carried out a systematic literature review onempirical studies of how technologies influence learning among youngchildren. Using the web of science database, the researchers reviewed87 articles published between 2003 and 2013 to determine the effectof technology in learning. However,the method chosen for the analysis is doubtful. By only reviewingrelated articles and not conducting independent research, thereliability of the inferences is questionable. Inthis study, young children refer to children between 0 to 8 years. Anissue of concern, however, is that not all articles reviewed in thestudy focused on children in that age bracket. They argue thatcontemporary young children live in a world surrounded bytechnologies, they start using technology in their early life, andhence their learning is influenced by technology.
Theresearch addresses the impact of technology on children’s learningand investigates the role of adults in helping children incorporatetechnology. However, it is difficult to confirm whether all thearticles reviewed addressed the specific research purposes. With 87articles to consider, arriving at objective conclusions was certainlyunrealistic for the authors. The study reveals that the followingfactors determine the effect of technology in learning: the age ofchildren, prior experience with technology, gender and time spentexploring technology. Concerning age, the research concludes thatolder children outperform younger children when incorporatingtechnology in learning.
Childrenthat have access to technologies at home such as computers havegreater knowledge on how to utilize them. The study showed thatchildren that had prior knowledge perform better after using thetechnology. The reviewed studies showed that children with access tocomputers at home performed better in reading, cognitive development,math, and computer-esteem and skills. There were variations in theeffects of technology in girls and boys. Some studies showed thatgirls perform better when integrating technology in learning whileothers showed that boys had a better performance. Adults have acrucial role to play in incorporating technology in children theresearch showed that children learn to utilize technology better whenadults provide them with a safe climate and encourage them to exploretheir technological tools. Nonetheless, the authors usedexperimental, quasi-experimental and case study method to investigatethis relationship the utilization of diverse methodologies couldlead to inconsistencies.
Inmy opinion, the effects of technology on children`s learning arecomplicated, with both advantages and disadvantages. The article isbiased towards the advantages of technological intervention inchildren’s learning. Moreover, the authors did not give an accuratedescription of the experimental methods used. Whether the technologyis harmful to a child or not depends on the specific technology inquestion, the manner of use as well as the frequency of use.Technology conditions the brain to pay attention in different wayscompared to traditional methods of learning. For example, whenreading information from websites, one is distracted byadvertisements and other side stories.
Traditionalmethods of learning are better in helping children developproblem-solving skills, become critical thinkers, retain morevocabulary and develop better reflection abilities. For example,research shows that the use of internet impedes imagination andconsistent attention. On the contrary, some research shows that useof video games and other screen media can help improve the visual andspatial capabilities in children. Additionally, they help increasethe capacity to identify detail and reduce reaction time. However,total elimination of traditional ways of learning will lead to thedevelopment of children who will be poor at knowing, processing andremembering information. Overutilization of technology discouragescreativity and the independence of mind.

A lot of engineers take advantage of the software capability that is delivered with the various types of assembly, test and inspection equipment. However, there is a false economy here as these software applications are optimized for that machine, meaning they typically have very good support for programming the machine but do a less than ideal job of handling the challenges of different CAD/CAM/BOM formats.
Being able to use a single application for data preparation across all the various machines in an assembly line ensures that the data is correct, complete and ready for all needs of each machine. This delivers a much better solution that all areas of assembly can take advantage of regardless of whether CAD or CAM data is being used as the starting point.
In fact, taking advantage of using ODB++ from design through manufacturing delivers further benefits of accurate and complete data, but that’s another show.

Three City of Montreal employees have been suspended with pay following explosive testimony about municipal corruption at the Charbonneau commission.
The city said the office of its comptroller general is investigating the three workers, two of whom had oversight on construction projects.
The employees — Yves Themens, Michel Paquette et François Thériault — were all named by former construction executive Lino Zambito in his testimony on Monday at the Charbonneau commission.
All three work for the infrastructure department.
Zambito said Themens furnished him with a secret list of companies that were bidding on projects that his Infrabec Construction was also interested in bidding for. Engineers Paquette and Thériault authorized "extras" that inflated the cost of certain projects, Zambito said.
The city said it met with all three employees individually to give them a chance to explain their version of events.
Retired engineers investigated
In a separate announcement Tuesday, Quebec's Order of Engineers said it is investigating two other former city engineers who Zambito has alleged got kickbacks while they were working on construction files.
The body will look into Gilles Surprenant, who once oversaw construction plans and specifications for Montreal, and Luc Leclerc.
Both engineers vacationed with Zambito in Mexico in 2002. Zambito told Radio-Canada that he paid for Leclerc's trip, but Leclerc said he thinks he covered his flight and accommodation, though he allowed that he doesn't remember exactly.
The Charbonneau commission is looking into allegations of collusion and corruption in the awarding of public construction contracts, as well as the involvement of organized crime and ties to political parties.

[env-trinity] Interesting Story on Termination of Klamath Tribes'
tstokely at trinityalps.net
Mon Feb 28 10:30:54 PST 2005
Restoring Klamath Heartlands
Oregon's Unique Chance for Justice and Sustainability
by EDWARD C. WOLF | posted 11.19.03 |
In Oregon's Klamath Basin -- renowned for its water disputes -- a remarkable and little-noted story
about land is unfolding. The current story begins 50 years ago, with a since-repudiated federal
policy toward Indian tribes called "termination."
It involves the chance to right a profound injustice, and an opportunity to achieve forest
restoration on an unprecedented scale. However the story ends, it marks a profound moment in
the history of Oregon and the West.
When the Klamath Lake Treaty of 1864 reserved to the Klamath and Modoc Indians and the
Yahooskin Band of the Snake Indians "the Klamath heartlands, including Upper Klamath and
Agency lakes, as well as the Williamson and Sprague drainages," that two-million-acre territory
contained one of the greatest ecological treasures of the American West. Despite survey errors and
fraud that reduced the Tribes' reservation to 1.2 million acres, the Klamath Tribes retained an
extraordinary estate of ponderosa pine watersheds protecting the integrity of the lakes and
marshes that had been the keystone of tribal life for thousands of years.
"The greatest stand"
The park-like groves of yellow pine sheltered more mule deer than loggers until the early 20th
century. In 1913, influenced by the ideas of progressive-era Forest Service chief Gifford Pinchot,
the U.S. Indian Service (precursor to the Bureau of Indian Affairs) worked with the Tribes to begin
a conservative program of sustained-yield logging on Klamath lands. Trees were milled locally
and sold to produce income for the Tribes. At an annual cut of about 80 million board-feet, this
harvest produced an annuity of roughly $1000 for each tribal member, helping to give the Tribes
an important measure of stability and economic well-being.
Two-thirds of the Klamath Reservation Forest were selectively cut over the next forty years,
leaving nearly one hundred thousand acres of old-growth ponderosa pine untouched. At
mid-century, the forest contained some 4.6 billion board-feet of timber, most of that on lightly-cut
stands. Future Oregon governor Tom McCall, while working for a committee of the state
legislature in 1957, described that forest simply as "the greatest single stand of Ponderosa pine to
be found anywhere in the West."
The era of termination
In the early 1950s, U.S. Interior Secretary Douglas McKay (a former Oregon governor) and his
Congressional allies advocated a policy of "termination" to dissolve Federal trust responsibilities to
Indian tribes. Termination was adopted as national policy by an act of Congress in 1953. The first
tribes chosen to demonstrate the policy included the only two in the country with extensive
timber lands, the Menominee of Wisconsin and the Klamath Tribes of Oregon.
The Klamath Termination Act, passed in August 1954, dissolved the Klamath Tribes and forced
tribal members to make a choice: take their share of tribal assets in cash, or join a group
arrangement that would administer their collective share of former tribal assets in trust. Misled
about the implications of the vote they would cast, three-quarters of the enrolled tribal members
voted to withdraw and accept their shares in cash.
The cash-distribution provision contained in the law forced the public auction of tribal assets to
raise the money needed to pay withdrawing members. The tribal estate, consisting almost
entirely of land and timber, was privatized and would be liquidated to fulfill the law's intent.
Congress had put the forested watersheds of the Klamath heartlands on the chopping block.
A Rude Awakening
With the termination of the Klamath Tribes a regrettable fait accompli, Oregon's political and
opinion leaders awoke to the fact that an act of Congress was poised to annihilate one of the state's
most beautiful and valuable landscapes. Why? Because public auction would unleash an
accelerated clearcut of the Klamath forest that was certain to be economically and ecologically
devastating. Tom McCall observed at the time that "'boom and bust' land speculators and lumber
interests plotted to control the Klamath Basin," to the detriment of the Tribes, local communities,
the regional timber market, and the entire state.
To pay the $90 million appraised value of the Klamath forest, private timber operators would
likely liquidate an estimated two-thirds of the standing volume of pine in a couple of seasons of
frenzied cutting. This would require a cut forty times greater than the sustained-yield harvests of
the pre-termination years.
With unprecedented unity of purpose, Oregon politicians at every level, from the Klamath County
Courthouse to the United States Senate, swung into action to prevent this catastrophe. The only
feasible alternative appeared to be federal purchase of the Klamath forest lands for management
under the multiple-use sustained-yield mandate then governing the National Forests.
Oregon senator Richard Neuberger introduced a bill in 1957 to delay the auction of tribal assets
and arrange the federal purchase of the Klamath Reservation lands. In a compromise with the
Secretary of the Interior, Neuberger ultimately endorsed and secured passage of a bill that
appropriated $90 million to purchase the land and required any private buyers of Klamath forest
lands to log only according to the government's sustained yield restrictions ? a clause that made
private purchase unattractive to nearly all buyers.
>From reservation to national forest
The array of the bill's supporters read like a "Who's Who" of post-war Oregon politics. The outcome
allowed members of the Klamath Tribes to receive the cash distribution promised them by law,
while creating the new Winema National Forest and adding acreage to the existing Fremont
National Forest. The upland pine forests encircling the Klamath Basin were spared the
consequences of a reckless act of Congress, a conservation victory that foreshadowed the forest
protection battles of later decades.
Neuberger's celebratory article in the April 1959 issue of Harper's, "How Oregon Rescued a
Forest," failed to enumerate the costs of that rescue to the people of the Klamath Tribes. The
termination policy proved to be a social and economic disaster for the tribes, a dark era in which
the community's land and resource wealth was converted into money that quickly dissipated,
given the obstacles to purchase of the former reservation lands by tribal members. Tribal identity
suffered under the duress of the times. The minority of Klamath individuals who had agreed to
have their share of tribal assets managed in private trust by U.S. Bank voted in 1970 to dismiss
the trustee; the bank interpreted the vote as one to dissolve the trust itself. Senator Mark Hatfield
overcame the opposition of the Nixon Administration to achieve federal purchase of the lands that
had been held in that trust, adding 135,000 acres to the Winema National Forest.
Slow steps toward sovereignty
It took another decade and a half for the Klamath Tribes to petition successfully for the restoration
of their status, finally accomplished and signed into law by President Reagan in 1986. Though the
Klamath Reservation was not reconstituted at that time, the law did require a plan for the Tribes'
economic self-sufficiency. The return of tribal lands became the natural centerpiece of that plan,
submitted to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt in 2000. The Tribes' effort to build a
secure future emphasized developing their capacity to manage the former reservation for
ecological health and the economic well-being of Klamath members.
Meanwhile, in the four decades since the creation of the Winema National Forest, the U.S. Forest
Service replaced its historically conservative sustained-yield policy with an emphasis on
even-aged management and elevated timber harvests. Unconstrained road-building and logging
in the 1980s and early 1990s gave way to the near-shutdown of commercial logging on federal
lands during the past decade. The forests of the former Klamath Reservation bear the scars of this
policy whip-saw, though had the land been clear-cut as foreseen at termination, restoration would
be far more challenging.
More than 300,000 acres have been degraded by heavy cutting or recent clear-cuts. Another
300,000 acres have been "structurally simplified" by logging and fire suppression. On roughly
100,00 acres stand "structurally complex" forests with the big pines that characterized most of
the Klamath Reservation Forest until the middle of the 20th century. More than half the forest is
well-suited to restoration work that could generate modest timber revenues, reduce the risk of
wildfire, and restore conditions conducive to the Tribes' treaty-protected subsistence hunting and
A hopeful chapter
Working with a team of nationally renowned forest scientists led by K. Norman Johnson of Oregon
State University, the Klamath Tribes have developed a forest management plan anchored in the
tribe's vision and values.
In 2002, President Bush appointed a cabinet-level Klamath River Basin Federal Working Group
chaired by Interior Secretary Gale Norton, which is due to make policy recommendations on a
number of contentious Klamath Basin land and water issues this fall. Many people believe the
Working Group is sympathetic to return of the Klamath Tribes' reservation -- which would
constitute about 690,000 acres and would include forest lands within the Winema and Fremont
National Forests that fall within the boundaries of the former reservation. The Klamath Tribes
have begun an ambitious effort at community outreach, to explain their goals and vision for the
former reservation to their Klamath Basin neighbors and others.
Fifty years ago, the Klamath heartlands could easily have become a brushy, cut-over moonscape
prone to flash floods and droughts that would have further destabilized the Klamath Basin's water
Instead, the forest stands diminished from its former grandeur but in a condition to respond to
restoration efforts guided by the Tribes' values. Return of the forest to the Klamath Tribes under a
sustainable management plan could fulfill a struggle toward justice and sustainability that is
unique in Oregon's history.
Feelings run high on all sides of the issue. But Klamath Tribes member and planning specialist
Anna Bennett finds hope expressed best in the Tribes' vision for the forest:
"When we heal the land, we also heal people."

Home Purchase Sentiment Index Increases to 83.7 in April
Consumer Confidence in Home Selling Market Picks Up, but Overall Housing Sentiment Remains Flat
WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae’s Home Purchase Sentiment Index™ (HPSI) increased 3.5 points to 83.7 in April, bouncing back from an 18-month low in March, yet overall consumer housing sentiment has remained generally flat. The HPSI Good Time to Sell component approached an all-time survey high in April, posting the largest increase among the six HPSI components. The net share of consumers who think now is a good time to sell a home rose 16 percentage points. However, the Good Time to Buy component dipped to an all-time survey low, creating the narrowest gap on record between these two measures. In addition, although the net share of consumers reporting confidence about not losing their job rose 6 percentage points, the net share of consumers reporting that their income was significantly higher than it was 12 months ago stayed flat from the prior month.
“We can partially attribute the sizable gain in April in home selling optimism both to a correction for last month’s unexpected dip and to typical seasonal strength in housing activity in the spring and summer,” said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. “Even after accounting for these factors, continued tight housing supply has led to renewed strength in home price appreciation, making selling a home a more attractive prospect this year in particular. This improved sentiment could provide an extra boost of much-needed supply for the spring selling season.”
HOME PURCHASE SENTIMENT INDEX – COMPONENT HIGHLIGHTS
Fannie Mae’s April 2016 Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) rose 3.5 percentage points in April to 83.7. More consumers think home prices will go up over the next 12 months compared to March, and slightly fewer consumers expect Mortgage Rates to go up over the next 12 months. Overall, the HPSI is up 1.4 points since this time last year.
- The net share of American who say that it is a good time to buy a house fell 3 percentage points to 30%, reaching an all-time survey low.
- Selling sentiment approached its all-time survey high in March, with the net percentage of those who say it is a good time to sell rising 16 percentage points to 15%.
- The net share of respondents who say that home prices will go up rose 3 percentage point to 37%, continuing the rising trend from March.
- The net share of those who say mortgage interest rates will go down fell 1 percentage point to negative 46%.
- The net share of respondents who say they are not concerned with losing their job rose 6 percentage points to 74%, nearly making up the 7 percentage point decrease in March.
- The net share of respondents who say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago remained the same at 11%.
ABOUT FANNIE MAE’S HOME PURCHASE SENTIMENT INDEX
The Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) distills information about consumers’ home purchase sentiment from Fannie Mae’s National Housing Survey® (NHS) into a single number. The HPSI reflects consumers’ current views and forward-looking expectations of housing market conditions and complements existing data sources to inform housing-related analysis and decision making. The HPSI is constructed from answers to six NHS questions that solicit consumers’ evaluations of housing market conditions and address topics that are related to their home purchase decisions. The questions ask consumers whether they think that it is a good or bad time to buy or to sell a house, what direction they expect home prices and mortgage interest rates to move, how concerned they are about losing their jobs, and whether their incomes are higher than they were a year earlier.
ABOUT FANNIE MAE’S NATIONAL HOUSING SURVEY
The most detailed consumer attitudinal survey of its kind, Fannie Mae’s National Housing Survey (NHS) polled 1,000 Americans via live telephone interview to assess their attitudes toward owning and renting a home, home and rental price changes, homeownership distress, the economy, household finances, and overall consumer confidence. Homeowners and renters are asked more than 100 questions used to track attitudinal shifts, six of which are used to construct the HPSI (findings are compared with the same survey conducted monthly beginning June 2010). As cell phones have become common and many households no longer have landline phones, the NHS contacts 60 percent of respondents via their cell phones (as of October 2014). To reflect the growing share of households with a cell phone but no landline, the National Housing Survey has increased its cell phone dialing rate to 60 percent as of October 2014. For more information, please see the Technical Notes. Fannie Mae conducts this survey and shares monthly and quarterly results so that we may help industry partners and market participants target our collective efforts to stabilize the housing market in the near-term, and provide support in the future. The April 2016 National Housing Survey was conducted between April 1, 2016 and April 22, 2016. Most of the data collection occurred during the first two weeks of this period. Interviews were conducted by Penn Schoen Berland, in coordination with Fannie Mae.

This is how we survive long after we are dead. This is why it is important who we become, because we pass it on.

Earlier this month we reported that Mayor Vincent Gray had proposed extending alcohol service by one hour as part of his Fiscal Year 2013 budget. If approved, the change would allow bars and restaurants to continue slinging libations until as late as 4 am beginning October 1.
The proposed change would also allow retail liquor sales to begin at 7 am, two hours earlier than what currently stands, Monday through Saturday (same for beer and wine sales at grocery stores). Sunday sales at liquor stores would still be prohibited.
This week, the mayor’s proposal received an important endorsement from the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington (RAMW). In testimony before the Council’s Committee on Human Services, RAMW President Lynne Breaux stated her “wholehearted” support of the initiative. Others in DC’s business community have expressed similar support.
It’s worth noting that some local neighborhood listervs have been abuzz over the proposed changes (particularly the U Street one), in areas with a high concentration of bars and clubs. There are concerns about trash and litter, in addition to people being out and about drinking even later.
Gray’s plan was inspired in large part by the extended bar service hours in January of 2009, in celebration of the Presidential Inauguration. For four days, bars and restaurants served booze into the wee hours, generating a surge of revenue for the city and, one assumes, a major hangover for the revelers.
Regardless of whether Gray’s proposal succeeds this time, he is also pursuing extended alcohol service for the 2013 and 2017 inaugurations.

Addison residents reject property purchase
- Addison residents voted on whether to buy four properties next to middle/high school
- District said campus is landlocked and adding land would give option to expand
- Purchase would have increased parking and help traffic flow, district said
- Buying four properties would not impact budget or residents' tax bills, district said
Addison school district residents on Tuesday rejected a plan to buy four properties adjacent to its middle/high campus that would allow future expansion.
The vote total was 201 against and 180 in favor of the proposal.
The $207,500 purchase would have had no impact on the district's operating budget and results in no cost to taxpayers, school board President William Peoples Jr. wrote in the district's newsletter.
Funding was to come from the existing Capital Reserve Account, but voter approval for qualified projects was needed to spend money from the fund, Peoples wrote.
The district said the four properties represented the only area for the middle/high school campus to expand. It said there are several reasons the space was needed:
•There are significant parking issues when large events at held at the campus.
•The properties add value to the district.
•Removal of the properties from the tax rolls would only result in a loss of $2,215 in tax revenue annually, equivalent to .0003 percent of the district's total tax levy amount.
•Part of the district's current parking lot at Colwell and Wombaugh street has been used rent-free for four years.
The district said the acquisition would have allowed it to increase parking, improve traffic flow and ensure neighborhood safety. It also would come at a time when the district is adding a middle school wing and gym.
The properties up for purchase were 10 Colwell St., 12 Colwell St., 16 Colwell St. and 19 Colwell St., all in the Village of Addison. The properties:
•Single-family home at 10 Colwell St. with 0.08 acre of land for $25,000.
•Single-family home at 19 Colwell St. with 0.06 acre of land for $39,000.
•Former single-family home at 12 Colwell St. with 0.09 acre of land for $65,000. Cost includes paying for purchase and demolition of house that was formerly on site and paying for district use of lot there for parking for past four years.
•Two-family home at 16 Colwell St. with 0.08 acre of land for $78,500.
