Pretty sure you bought an underperforming, overpriced car insurance policy? Believe me, many Phoenix consumers feel financially strained by their car insurance policy.
Inconceivable but true, nearly 70% of consumers kept buying from the same company for at least the last four years, and just short of a majority have never compared car insurance rates at all. With the average premium in the United States being $1,847, drivers can cut their rates by roughly $859 a year, but they just don’t understand how easy it is to compare rates.
Insurance companies such as State Farm, Allstate, GEICO and Progressive persitently shower you with advertising and it can be hard to see through the deception and do the work needed to find the best deal.
Consumers need to quote other rates yearly due to the fact that insurance prices are constantly changing. Just because you found the best quotes on Volkswagen Rabbit insurance in Phoenix a year ago there is a good chance you can find better rates now. Block out anything you think you know about car insurance because we’re going to show you how to use online quotes to find better rates and still maintain coverage.
Most larger insurance companies make it easy to get coverage price quotes on their websites. Getting quotes for Volkswagen Rabbit insurance in Phoenix is quite simple because you just enter your coverage preferences as requested by the quote form. After the form is submitted, the company’s rating system orders credit information and your driving record and returns pricing information. Being able to quote online for Volkswagen Rabbit insurance in Phoenix makes it simple to compare prices and it is important to get many rate quotes if you are searching for a lower rate.
To save time and find out how much you can save on insurance, visit the companies below or click here to submit a quote request to multiple companies at once. If you have your current policy handy, we recommend you complete the form with the coverages as close as possible to your current policy. This makes sure you’re receiving rate quotes based on identical coverages.
The providers in the list below are ready to provide price quotes in Arizona. If more than one company is shown, it’s a good idea that you get price quotes from several of them in order to get a fair rate comparison.
Which policy gives me the best coverage?
When selecting adequate coverage for your vehicles, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.
Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight if your situation would benefit from professional advice.
- Do I need replacement cost coverage?
- Will my Volkswagen Rabbit be repaired with OEM or aftermarket parts?
- How high should my uninsured/underinsured coverage be in Arizona?
- Do I benefit by insuring my home with the same company?
- How can I force my company to pay a claim?
- Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
- Does my Volkswagen Rabbit qualify for pleasure use?
- What policy terms are available?
- How long can I keep a teen driver on my policy?
- When do I need to add a new car to my policy?
If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.
Insurance agents can help
A lot of people just want to get professional advice from a licensed agent and we recommend doing that A nice benefit of price shopping on the web is you may find lower prices but still work with a licensed agent. Buying from neighborhood insurance agencies is important especially in Phoenix.
To find an agent, once you fill out this form (opens in new window), your insurance coverage information is immediately sent to local insurance agents in Phoenix that give free quotes for your business. You won’t even need to do any legwork because prices are sent to you. You can get cheaper insurance rates and an insurance agent to talk to. If for some reason you want to quote rates from a specific company, just go to their quote page and fill out their quote form.
Exclusive and independent Phoenix car insurance agents
If you are searching for a local insurance agency, it can be helpful to understand the different types of agencies from which to choose. Phoenix agents can either be independent or exclusive.
Independent Agents (or Brokers)
These type of agents are appointed with more than one company so they can quote policies through many companies and get you the best rates possible. If they find a lower price, the agent simply finds a different carrier and the insured can keep the same agent.
If you are comparing rate quotes, it’s recommended you get quotes from a few independent agents to maximize your price options.
Featured below is a small list of independent agents in Phoenix that can give you pricing information.
Independent Insurance Agents
333 E Flower St – Phoenix, AZ 85012 – (602) 956-1851 – View Map
Exclusive Insurance Agencies
Exclusive insurance agents can usually just insure with one company such as State Farm, Allstate and AAA. Exclusive agencies are unable to compare rates from other companies so if the price isn’t competitive there isn’t much they can do. Exclusive agents are trained well on their company’s products and that can be a competitive advantage.
The following are exclusive agents in Phoenix that are able to give rate quotes.
Picking the best insurance agency is decision based upon more than just the bottom line cost. Here are some questions you should ask.
- Will the agent help in case of a claim?
- Is the agency active in community causes in Phoenix?
- How many years have they been established?
- What are the financial ratings for the companies they represent?
- If your car is in the repair shop, do you have coverage for a rental car?
- Do they see any coverage gaps in your plan?

THE choice of vehicles for SMEs has never been more extensive – and the choice of drivetrain so wide, which makes the SME Company Car of the Year Awards 2018 sponsored by Fleet Alliance such a vital benchmark.
There’s electric; plug-in hybrid; hybrid; petrol; or euro 6 diesel; while not forgetting hydrogen fuel cell technology. It’s a broad mix with changing attitudes to fuel choice making the market fast-moving and fluid.
If that’s not enough, the government seems to be constantly changing the company car tax system too. What was once considered a low tax car is now… well, simply not. Past certainties are no guide to present day realities especially as new capital allowance tax breaks come into play April 2018.
So what does an SME business car manager do faced with all this?
Turn to the SME Company Car of the Year Awards that’s what, to highlight the best company cars available to them, the best company car programmes to provide the fleet management assistance they require and in addition, the in-life support back-up once the car has been leased or purchased.
All must possess that winning combination of competitive P11D price, low benefit in kind taxation, excellent running costs, and great specification.
The judges are completely independent and are experts in the SME field. Judges will be given clear instructions and criteria – such as company car tax and whole life costs as well as the free form entries – to judge and rank each entry.
We will publish the shortlist in November. The winners will be announced at the SME Company Car of the Year Awards 2018 lunch in January 2018.
The categories are straightforward – in the way an SME assesses the market.
So, car manufacturers:
- Is your car ready to be the SME Company Car of the Year 2018?
- Is your SME programme the best there is?
- Have you got what it takes to be a winner in the SME sector?
SME Company Car of the Year Award Categories.
There are seven categories detailed below open to car manufacturers. There is no limit to the number of entries you can make. Cars must be on sale by 1 October 2017 to qualify for the awards.
Having picked their category winners, judges will then pick their SME Company Car of the Year 2018 from the category winners
Best Value SME Company Car
This year the car must have a list price below £20,000 and have CO2 emissions below the new capital allowance/leasing tax break of 110g/km
Best Compact SME Company Car
We want to find the best car that is sub 4.5m in length that combines fitness for business purpose while also doubling up as a suitable lifestyle car at the weekend.
Best Large SME Company Car
A car that is longer than 4.5m and conveys a level of seniority and aspiration for SME business drivers.
Best Director’s SME Company Car
It needs to be something prestigious, well specified but also not too heavy on benefit in kind company car tax or on running costs – especially if it’s for the FD!
Best Green SME Company Car
With the changes to benefit in kind percentage tax bands and the changing of the 100% write down threshold to 50g/km, those sub 50g ultra low emission vehicles are really making their case for inclusion in any SME small fleet.
Best SME Company Car Programme
SMEs without fleet managers need help to run their company cars. Which company car programme does that best?
Best SME After Sales Programme
We’re looking for the best after sales programme that’s as capable of looking after two company cars as it is for 25+.
Manufacturers: put your best SME cars and programmes forward and let our independent judges decide.
Get the recognition you deserve for the best products in the SME business and small fleet market.

Sometimes reality music televisions shows like The X-Factor can be pretty unpredictable, with the diversity of backgrounds brought on stage by thousands of people auditioning. Some are young aspiring musicians wanting to make a name for themselves at a young age. There are also those who, after pursuing a career path that took their time and attention off of the music scene, wish to seize the opportunity that auditioning can unlock for them.[Editor’s Note: Read our top story on Willie Nelson’s son’s death here.]
Particularly, a man named Jeff Gutt stole the spotlight with his powerful, heart-rending vocals. He was initially aiming to get a bit of good exposure for his local singing career by exhibiting a preview of his musical talent. But he did not expect the extent to which his audition would move the judges, the audience, and most importantly, his son.
Prior to joining The X-Factor, Gutt has performed with different bands—the very first and most prominent one dating back to his high school days. In his high school band, Innerfaith, Gutt was the frontman and his friends, Patrick Sankuer (guitars), Matt Brooks (bass), and Jeff Sankuer (drums), wrote and performed their original songs. They won the “Blue Water Area Battle of the Bands” in Marysville, Michigan. Gutt also became Dry Cell’s lead vocalist. He rejoined the band in 2005 after he left Dry Cell for a short period of time. During his time away from Dry Cell, Gutt and his friend Gary Pittel collaborated to create Band with No Name (BWNN). Band with No Name released a self-titled EP with 5 tracks in 2007. The following year, BWNN was hailed the champion in the 89X & TNTs Battle of the Bands in Michigan and won them $10,000. The money was used to help Gutt’s band record 7 additional new songs for another EP, and even a full-length album, Humanity.
The band released its first album, Disconnected, in 2002, and a compilation titled The Dry Cell Collection in 2010. The compilation comprises demos released years earlier, from the years when the band was active. Jeff Gutt permanently left Dry Cell in 2009.
After his stint with Dry Cell, Gutt went on to pursue music with a different band, Acrylic. He recorded a total of 8 demo songs with the said band.
His choice of music, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, left judges skeptical at first. But as he began singing the first few lines, the judges were instantly stunned and the audience, pleasantly bewildered. Soon, it was evident that everyone lost themselves in his musical gift. With tearful eyes, the crowd cheered for him as loud as they could.
Simon Cowell even remarked that, in all the years he’s been an X-Factor critic and a mentor to countless hopefuls, Jeff’s version of Hallelujah was by-far one of the most wonderful auditions he’s ever heard. In truth, the song, which was originally released in 1984 as part of Cohen’s album, Various Positions, has been one of the highly covered songs of all time.
In the end, Gutt earned all four of the judges’ approval, all while achieving his goal of showcasing his skills and make his son proud. As a sweet little bonus, Gutt’s son came running center-stage to give him a warm and delightful hug.[like_button]

December 24, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Kalaphruek Room 7, 2nd Floor, Sirikunakorn Building, Office of the President – the Strategic Research and Coordination Institute for the Northeast Development of Khon Kaen University held a meeting under the project that links Thai agricultural industry with the industrial sector towards the new economy and trading, the case of alternative protein from crickets. Assoc. Prof. Charnchai Panthongviriyakul, M.D., President of Khon Kaen University presided over the meeting and welcomed the delegation from the Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPS) led by Miss Oranuch Wannapinyo, a Senior Professional Trading Officer. Represetatives from Khon Kaen University included Prof. Phewpan Maleewong, M.D., Assistant to the President for Research and Graduate Studies; Assoc. Prof. Rangsan Niamsanit, Director of the Strategic Research and Coordination Institute for the Northeast Development of Khon Kaen University, and the administrators and officers of the institute.
Assoc. Prof. Charnchai Panthongviriyakul, M.D., President of Khon Kaen University said in his opening address that the Food and Drug Organization of the United Nation or FAO sees the importance of crickets as the protein source for the future. Khon Kaen University has been among the first institutions in the country to conduct research on crickets. Prof. Dr. Yupa Hanboonsong and many other professors have conducted research on crickets and the work has been accepted internationally. Then in 2019, the Strategic Research and Coordination Institute for the Northeast Development of Khon Kaen University was subsidized by the Thai Science and Research Institution Board (TSRI) and the National Research Council to carry out a project called, “Development of Cricket Farmers in the Northeast towards Standard and Safety Production System”. The cricket farmers at Ban Saen To, Buayai Sub-district, Nam Pong District, Khon Kaen have been promoted and 23 farms have been certified as standard cricket farms from GAP, from the 44 cricket farms all over the country.
In the next session, Mr. Anuwat Srisawat, the team leader of the “Development of Cricket Farmers in the Northeast towards Standard and Safety Production System” project presented the project implementation to the participants in the meeting. His presentation could be summarized as follows: Overall, the world market of edible insects is able to grow at 26.5% in 2020 with the value amounting to 3.42 million baht. In 2019, the export of edible insects of Thailand reached 2,161 million baht, with US importing our product mostly. There are 171 cricket enterprise groups, 14 being in Khon Kaen. 23 cricket farms in Khon Kaen have been certified in terms of GAP standard, out of 44 cricket farms in the country. With the assistance from the Strategic Research and Coordination Institute for the Northeast Development of Khon Kaen University, the participating enterprise groups comprise the groups in Khon Kaen, Phu Wiang District, Ban Nonsawan, Village No. 5, Cricket Farming Group from Village No. 4, Chum Phae District, the Khon Khon Malang Enterprise Group, Insect Farming Community Enterprise, Ban Non Lan Economy Group, Non Sa-ad Sub-district, Chonnabot District, Ban Tha Khoy Cricket Farming Group, Ban Non Saen Suk Cricket Farming Group, Nam Pong District, Ban Saen To Sufficiency Economy Group, On-son Cricket Farming and Manufacturing of Ban Non Chuak, Cricket Farming Groups at Villages No. 13 and 9, Bua Ngoen Sub-district, Muang District, Ban Na Piang Cricket Farming Group, Samran Sub-district, Ban Khon Tha Cricket Farming Group, Nong Toom Sub-district, Phra Yuen District, Ban Nong Pho Cricket Farming Group, Village No. 8, Ban Han Economy Insect Farming, Phon District, Ban Sading Khu Khad Cricket Farming Group, Village No. 12, Kalasin, Yang Talad District, and Ban Hong Hee Cricket Farming Community Enterprise.
Assoc. Prof. Rangsan Niamsanit, Director of the Strategic Research and Coordination Institute for the Northeast Development of Khon Kaen University added that in addition to assisting the farmers on site, the institute has supported in terms of designing 12 types of products made from crickets, which include health foods and snacks. A group of students from MBA of Khon Kaen University have matched business partners with interested entrepreneurs. It has to be admitted, however, that the farmers still lack the tactics in operations and in the access to investment sources, which partly arise from the official regulations and the fact that the farmers themselves still do not see the importance in developing their farms to reach the GAP standards, for this involves a high cost.
Nevertheless, it was a good chance that Khon Kaen University and the Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPS) discussed together and established the channel that links the farmers with the Thai industrial sector. This will lead to the country becoming the center of producers of alternative protein from crickets. Khon Kaen University, in this respect, possesses the knowledge, the research findings, and personnel with expertise ready to support the implementation with TPS. It is hoped that after the meeting, the work will progress concretely. The cricket farmers who are interested to join the network with the Strategic Research and Coordination Institute for the Northeast Development of Khon Kaen University can contact the institute at Tel. 0 4320 2167 or:

Investors who purchased Litecoin during the significant November 2018 sell-off earned four times more returns than the investors who bought Bitcoin, highlighted Joe McCann.
The financial expert, who serves as the head of systematic trading at crypto asset management firm, Passport Capital, calculated the returns made by the “silver cryptocurrency” from its three-month low to its three-month session high. He found that between November 14, 2018, and February 18, 2019, bitcoin price recovered up to 25.19 percent from its session low. On the other hand, Litecoin corrected as high as 118.67 percent within the same timeframe.
McCann also called attention to the correlation between Bitcoin and Litecoin over the years. He claimed that Litecoin historically led the Bitcoin rallies, hinting that the altcoin’s latest upside moves could prompt an extended bullish momentum in the BTC market.
As of 0900 UTC, the BTC-to-USD exchange rate was trending near $3,944, which is its best since January 11. According to CoinMarketCap.com 24-hour price calculator, the pair has surged a little over 5 percent. On the other hand, Litecoin has jumped close to 8 percent within the same time.
However, it cannot be said that Litecoin gains could benefit Bitcoin. It could have been possible when the altcoin was among the few projects that competed with bitcoin. But now, the altcoin market is overpopulated with cryptocurrencies that could allow traders to swap their LTC positions for coins other than BTC.
Galaxy, a Twitter-based cryptocurrency analyst with 48.4k followers, said that it was the entire altcoin market that was leading the ongoing bitcoin rally. It predicted that BTC dominance rate would breakdown in 2019 while the market will enter a so-called altseason.
1. Build up $BTC domination
4. Rinse and repeat.
Furthermore, looks like the weaker the dominance uptrend the longer the altseason and so far this one is the weakest.
So far, some of the top coins have indeed outperformed bitcoin in terms of a rebound. Ethereum, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency, posted a 90-day surge of 10 percent. Similarly, Tron’s TRX surged 81 percent, Binance’ BNB jumped 62.46 percent, and even Bitcoin SV’s BSV leaped 30 percent. At the same time, bitcoin’s 90-day performance was at a negated 13 percent.
Would Bitcoin Fall Behind?
It is unlikely for altcoins to displace Bitcoin from its top position despite its weak dominance scenario. The world’s leading cryptocurrency is running ahead of its clone projects in terms of institutional adoption. Its fundamentals are the strongest for 2o19, thanks to regulators’ likelihood of approving its trading derivatives.
BlockTower’s Ari Paul said that cryptocurrencies couldn’t match up to the supremacy of bitcoin by just adding features or with incrementally better transactional throughput.
A.T. Kearney, a management consulting company, also claimed that bitcoin would reserve its dominance on the crypto market. In the firm’s opinion, the bitcoin dominance rate could even go up to 66% in the future.

Though the wait for Bronx-born emcee Cory Gunz’ debut album is starting to become quite the lengthy one, the (still) young emcee continues to keep fans on their feet with a series of street releases. Joining Gunz’ arsenal of street records is the newly released, araabMUZIK-produced Stacks On Deck. Gunz’ aggressive lyricism on the un-originally-titled song lasts from start to finish as he heartily boasts about “stacks on deck,” his “strap on deck,” and last but certainly not least the “trap on deck.” While araabMUZIK’s production on the record begins by sounding like the score to a slasher flick it eventually transforms into a much more hip-hop heavy beat. Although Stacks On Deck isn’t attached to any larger project from Gunz, the artist recently released the Lifted-produced Foreign.

A film industry insider who has worked with many a-list talents and has a wealth of experience sent us an absolute bombshell email that could potentially expose a plot to destroy Johnny Depp all in the name of activism and politics.
A former production executive at New Line Cinema believes that Amber Heard may have been contacted by a influential and well connected member of an activist group and the author of the infamous “Emily Doe” letter to get her organisation worldwide recognition by smearing one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors. This bombshell email exposes the motives of a corrupt political activist group.
“Amber Heard was one in a line of ‘ambassadors’ that had been recruited by non-profits closely associated with the Violence Against Women Act and the Obama/Biden office of civil rights. The same group who wanted to engage young women voters and thought that the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence conversation would engage them – which it did.”
The insider explains that the Office of Civil Rights was run by activists who have been vehemently against due process in campus sexual assault cases, resulting in approximately 700 federal lawsuits of which 300 or so have been ruled in favour of an accused student whose due process rights were denied.
Heard’s group falsely accuses innocent boys.
“Several students faced criminal trials out of this too. The most famous of these trials are New Hampshire v Owen Labrie in 2015 and People v Brock Turner in 2016. There is also the infamous Rolling Stone ‘A Rape on Campus’ story which turned out to be a fake too. Yet these trials, the Rolling Stone magazine article and now the Amber Heard/ACLU piece all tie back to the same operatives: Professor Michele Dauber, Catherine Lhamon, Laura L Dunn; the creation of ‘Dear Colleague’ a federal directive that was unregulated but introduced in 2011 by Joe Biden and which foreshadowed #MeToo movement,” the bombshell email reads.
The insider references the, Chessy Prout, then 15-year-old girl, New Hampshire v Owen Labrie trial and reveals that she was recruited by Laura L Dunn in Spring 2015 before the trial in August 2015. “She brought with her the sensationalized and tainted media. Chanel Miller in People v Brock Turner appears to have been completely taken over by Michele Dauber who was colluding with the DA for a #MeToo political coup,” the insider adds in their bombshell email.
“Chessy Prout’s family moved to DC in 2016 and she became an ambassador for PAVE which is a fraudulent organization. In my opinion,” the insider states, “Chessy Prout was a vessel for them to use and she was fed a script for the Labrie trial so that they could turn him into the face of a high school entitled rapist even though the jury acquitted him of felony rape. He probably would have acquitted him altogether if the prosecutor hadn’t worked with Laura Dunn and company to mislead media and jury on the DNA. Semen sperm couldn’t be attributable to him. In TV interviews and in Chessy’s book they use the exact same talking points that Amber Heard was given by ACLU.”
Owen Labrie was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to 12 months for flirting with Prout on the internet. Although Prout responded and engaged in the flirting she later told the court that she only “did it out of fear.”
It’s very, very political.
Amber Heard joined the Brett Kavanaugh US Supreme Court Confirmation Protest in front of the Supreme Court on October 4, 2018 in Washington, DC. The ACLU has strongly referenced Kavanaugh in their talking points as pointed out in the bombshell letter.
The insider adds: “The original reports of this noted the letter came from a Stanford Law Professor — which would be Michele Dauber too — but isn’t it interesting how closely associated Amber Heard is to Michele Dauber and how her talking points from the ACLU also include Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh and Title IX campus sexual assault. ACLU joined KnowYourIX, one of the non-profits, to challenge due process.”
In a Glamour article published the following month Amber Heard says her career is most inspired by Palestinian American activist Yasmeen Mjalli and Stanford University law professor Michele Dauber, who supported and allegedly wrote the “Emily Doe” letter in the Stanford rape case. “It’s those women who deserve the spotlight,” she said. “I am humbled just to amplify their voices.”
The insider references this article in their email: “Well, this is interesting regarding Michele Dauber and Amber Heard; who had Roberta Kaplan representing her. Kaplan confounded TimesUp with Tina Tchen who, from the start, was involved with Dear Colleague. Kaplan defended Columbia University against Paul Nunsinger when he Title IX sued them over Mattress Girl/Emily Sulkowicz. Kaplan even famously said that she didn’t think that his education had been significantly impacted! Mattress Girl was featured heavily in The Hunting Ground documentary — propaganda that was debunked — and also in ‘Carry that Weigh’ protest that Michele Dauber led.”
Florida State University’s president denounced The Hunting Ground documentary. A group of 19 Harvard law professors wrote that it “provides a seriously false picture both of the general sexual assault phenomenon at universities and of our student” accused in a case depicted in the film.
“May 26, 2016 Amber Heard and Johnny Depp divorce – the box to tick for domestic violence is the only box left blank,” the former production executive claims.
Michele Dauber fraud.
“June 2016 Emily Doe letter read on house floor leading to bipartisan workforce to end domestic and sexual violence. A FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) email dump by local journalist in Santa Clara County shows that Michele Dauber actually wrote the Emily Doe letter, and not Chanel Miller, and that the entire People v Brock Turner trial and recall of Judge Persky that followed involved behind the scenes collusion between Michele Dauber and the District Attorney. Dauber allegedly being investigated for election fraud.”
The Emily Doe letter was called the #MeToo manifesto by Michele Dauber. It also led to Joe Biden writing an open letter to abuse survivors reading, “I do not know your name — but I know that a lot of people failed you that terrible January night and in the months that followed,” Biden wrote. “It must have been wrenching — to relive what he did to you all over again. But you did it anyway, in the hope that your strength might prevent this crime from happening to someone else. Your bravery is breathtaking.”
The bombshell email continues: “November 2016, shortly after her Amber Heard’s divorce but before the extend of the accusations she made against Depp were made public, she met Michele Dauber at an awards show. In 2018 Amber Heard honoured Dauber in her Glamour/ACLU Op-Ed about #MeToo.”
The Virginia judge overseeing the defamation suit regarding that article ordered Heard to supply all correspondence with ACLU and anyone related by May 28. Johnny Depp has petitioned SCNY as ACLU did not co-operate and have even been slammed for not being transparent with their motives.
ACLU smeared Johnny Depp.
“The answer to our question concerned the ACLU would have been most useful to an issue raised by Ms Heard concerning the title of her op-ed. It is disappointing that the VPA chose not to be transparent in that regard,” Mr Chew wrote in response to a amicus brief request to have the trial thrown out.
Documents released so far reveal that ACLU was working deliberately to smear Johnny with the Op-Ed but working with Ms Head to use a legal “freedom of speech” loophole to avoid being sued for defamation. The ACLU are now defendants in the upcoming trial.
“Who does Amber Heard say she is inspired by? Michele Dauber, who, per an FOIA email dump from 2019, appears to have written the Emily Doe Letter that was read to Congress, that she hailed as the #MeToo manifesto and which caused Joe Biden to say ‘I see you’ to Chanel Miller?” The insider concludes in their bombshell mail.
Was Amber Heard recruited by Michele Dauber in May 2016 and that’s why People got on board and published an article about how the divorce quickly spiralled into accusations of domestic violence by Johnny? Is Johnny Depp a scapegoat in a political plot to give the #MeToo movement power to circumvent legislative law?

CDC’s 2013 Tips from Former Smokers Ad Campaign Initiative Encourages Smokers to ‘Talk With Your Doctor’!
Dear <<First Name>>,
As you know, in April 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched a continuation of its groundbreaking national tobacco education campaign to increase awareness about the negative health effects caused by smoking and secondhand smoke exposure and to encourage smokers to quit. The campaign, Tips From Former Smokers,
features former smokers who have experienced smoking-related diseases at a relatively young age. The ads, which first aired in 2012, have been highly effective in motivating smokers to quit, with calls to the toll-free 1-800-QUIT-NOW quitline (1-800-784-8669) more than doubling compared with the same 12-week period in 2011.
As part of the this year’s Tips
campaign, CDC has partnered with five medical societies (AMA, AAFP, AAP, ACP and ACOG)
to support a new initiative called “Talk With Your Doctor,”
which encourages smokers to talk with their health care providers about quitting. From May 27th
through June 2nd
, select Tips From Former Smokers
television ads as well as digital and online ads will feature the following tagline: “You Can Quit. Talk With Your Doctor for Help.”
The goal of this initiative is to engage health care providers and encourage them to use the Tips
campaign as an opportunity to talk with their patients who smoke about quitting. The initiative can also serve as a reminder for smokers to talk with their health care providers about effective methods to help them quit.
"Physicians play an important role in helping patients take steps to improve their health,
” said Tim McAfee, MD, MPH, director of the Office on Smoking and Health at CDC, and a primary care physician. “Patients with tobacco dependence should be identified and treated in the same way that patients with diabetes, hypertension, or other health issues are identified and treated. We hope that this initiative provides a conversation starter for physicians to proactively talk with their patients about how they can quit smoking.”

It is by now almost routine. With recurring frequency, US leaders tour the Middle East depicting Iran as the region’s greatest threat.
As such, President George W. Bush’s visit to the Middle East this week has historic precedent. But while the message often fell on receptive ears in the past, regional players today have misgivings about Washington’s ability and perhaps more importantly its competence in handling Iran’s rise.
So while President Bush beats an old drum during his Mideast tour, repeating the claim that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Wednesday, regional actors are hearing a different tune. Regardless of Bush’s message, the writing many see on the wall reads that Washington’s Iran strategy is bound to fail.
Though the US embarked on a policy of isolating Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis, the policy was significantly intensified after the end of the Cold War and the initiation of the Middle East peace process. Israel, who only a few years earlier had lobbied Washington to open up to Iran, insisted that it could not pursue peace with the Arabs unless the US adopted a tougher line on Iran.
The Bill Clinton administration’s commitment to the peace process gave birth to the Dual Containment policy in 1994, which was "designed to reassure Israel that the US would keep Iran in check while Jerusalem embarked on the risky process of peacemaking," according to Kenneth Pollack, who served as an Iran analyst with the CIA at the time.
In the words of Martin Indyk, assistant secretary of state under Clinton, Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking and the isolation of Iran were symbiotic. "The more we succeeded in making peace, the more isolated [the Iranians] would become. The more we succeeded in containing them, the more possible it would be to make peace," Indyk said.
Consequently, Israeli and US rhetoric on Iran climaxed during this period. While Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin accused Iran of "fanning all the flames in the Middle East," US Secretary of State Warren Christopher told reporters in March 1995 that "Wherever you look, you find the evil hand of Iran in this region." Iran’s own actions did little to cast much doubt on these accusations.
Similarly, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair blasted Tehran in December 2006 as he toured the region and sought to shore up Arab support against Iran. Much like Rabin and Christopher before him, Blair wanted to form an "arc of moderation" consisting of Israel and pro-Western Arab dictatorships to isolate Iran.
Yet after a decade of making Iran’s isolation a central tenet of Washington’s Mideast policy, the track record is clear: In spite of all the rhetoric and all the political capital invested in this approach, the policy of containing Iran has failed miserably. Though a significant cost has been imposed on Iran, the isolation policy has neither prevented Iran’s rise nor has it compelled Tehran to moderate its foreign policy.
As President Bush tours the region, he will seek to give the impression that the US is not deserting this policy and that increased support from regional actors can succeed in containing Iran. Yet his message will likely be met with great skepticism. Now, more than ever before, Washington seems to have little choice but make a shift on Iran.
First, Iran has continued its nuclear program in spite of both U.N. sanctions and Washington’s unilateral financial sanctions. The strategy of incrementally tightening the UN sanctions has been derailed by the December National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which ascertained that Iran currently does not have a nuclear weapons program
Consequently, the much anticipated third UN resolution seems nowhere in sight. Russia and China have signaled greater resistance to it in response to the NIE and the Iranian UN ambassador has taken a month’s vacation, reflecting Tehran’s lack of worry. And in a great blow to the effort of forcing Iran to face a united Security Council, Russia has begun delivering nuclear fuel to Iran’s Bushehr reactor after years of procrastination.
Second, US commanders in Iraq have toned down accusations of Iranian meddling and indicated that Iran is pressuring its Shi’ite allies to cease hostilities. Col. Steven Boylan, spokesperson for David Petraeus, told the Washington Times earlier in January that the US is "ready to confirm the excellence of the senior Iranian leadership in the pledge to stop the funding, training, equipment and resourcing of the militia special groups."
The statement stood in stark contrast to earlier assessments by the Pentagon about Iran’s intimate involvement in Iraqi violence.
Third, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, sent a significant signal to Washington only days later during a speech to students at Yazd University. Declaring that the conditions the US has put forth for establishing relations between the two countries currently make it disadvantageous for Iran, he nevertheless made the unprecedented announcement that "nobody said that these relations have to be severed forever" and that "the day when having relations with the US is in our interest, surely I will be the first to approve of such relations."
Khamenei’s statement passed largely unnoticed in the Western media, but its significance is undeniable.
Fourth, and perhaps more importantly, US domestic politics has turned against the current course on Iran. The top three Democratic Presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards are all on the record favoring unconditional diplomacy with Tehran. Furthermore, the winner of the Iowa Republican primary, Mike Huckabee, also favors dialogue. Never before has support for diplomacy with Iran particularly in the middle of an election season been so strong in the US
These developments have all contributed to a perception in the region that not only can the US not sustain its isolation policy, but that some dealings between the US and Iran may already be taking place behind the scenes. Consequently, Arab states have initiated their own diplomatic overtures towards Tehran in order to avoid ending up appearing more hawkish on Iran than Washington. Improving ties with Tehran in the wake of a likely US-Iran thaw is the strategically wise thing to do, the Arabs calculate.
In December 2007, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was invited to address the Gulf Cooperation Council summit in Doha. Not to be outdone by Qatar, the Saudis invited the firebrand Iranian president to Hajj as the Kings special guest. Both invitations were unprecedented. Moreover, diplomacy between Egypt and Iran has intensified in the last few weeks with several high-level visits.
This Arab outreach to Iran which largely is a response to a perception of the likely failure of Washington’s Iran policy has made the US effort to contain Tehran all the more unfeasible.
Against this backdrop, the idea of an US- Arab-Israeli alliance being formed to counter Iran’s rise a key impetus for President Bush’s Mideast tour seems more farfetched than ever.
In this context, the incident between five Iranian vessels and three US Naval ships in the Strait of Hormuz this past Sunday may not, as the Bush administration may have hoped, clarify the threat Iran poses to the region.
Rather, the read of regional players may be that the most dangerous source of tension is the current state of no-war no-peace between the US and Iran, which has created an atmosphere in which incidents at sea whether intentional or accidental can escalate into full-fledged wars with unpredictable regional repercussions. As a result, instead of making the Arabs more receptive to President Bush’s message, the naval episode may prompt them to further lose faith in the policy of isolation.

About The Book
Hailed by Newbery winner Kelly Barnhill as “stunning, moving, and marvelously strange,” this tale of a young girl who stumbles into a magical realm ruled by a wicked witch is a haunting and ultimately uplifting middle grade novel about grief, family, and decades-old magic.
Still grieving the loss of her mother, Eden visits Safina Island, her ancestral home, as a healing balm. But when she discovers an old sketchbook that belonged to her mother, she’s haunted by the images she sees drawn there. A creepy mansion covered with roots and leaves. A monstrous dog with dagger-sharp teeth. And a tall woman with wind-blown hair and long, sharp nails who is as beautiful as she is terrifying.
Days later, exploring the island alone, Eden follows a black cat through a rift in the bright day. She stumbles into Everdark, a parallel world where the sun never rises, where spirits linger between death and the afterlife, and where everything from her mother’s drawings is all too real—especially the Witch of Everdark, who wants to make Eden her eternal daughter.
Can Eden find a way to defeat the witch’s magic? Or will she remain trapped in Everdark forever?
Eden slid her finger on the map to the blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. She stared at the sea islands off the coast of Georgia. The largest island was out farther than the rest, an isolated mass. This was Safina Island, her mother’s birthplace.
Her father had bought the map at a North Carolina rest stop and designated her as the navigator instead of using the app on his phone. It was an opportunity for Eden to learn the geography of intersecting routes and identify points of interest.
On their road trip, they ate junk food from vending machines and drank too much soda. They sang songs and laughed at their off-key melodies. It could have been easy to pretend that it had always been just the two of them, but a weight pressed heavy on Eden’s chest like a block of ice. The cold truth of her mother’s death.
She had endured the first days of shock with denial. Then a bitter acceptance when the house stopped being full of strangers offering their condolences with dishes wrapped in foil. During this time her father had treated Eden like a glass flower, a fragile girl who could break at the slightest touch. But when the record heat of the summer turned into the chill of winter snow, Eden’s father slowly transferred his energy back into his work. A professor of evolutionary biology, he was teaching a full course load for the semester. Dr. Langston Leopold was keeping himself very busy.
Today he was dressed similarly to Eden in a graphic tee and jeans—much different from his usual uniform of oxford shirt and khaki pants. But he still wore his tortoiseshell glasses that complemented his brown skin.
“Saw a sign for a diner a few miles back,” he said. “Should be coming up soon.”
They were traveling the local highway through the coastal town of Marien, Georgia. The trees were different from the ones in Maryland. The pines had skinny trunks, and wide oaks dripped with Spanish moss. Palmettos clustered together as if sharing secrets. Eden hadn’t seen any of the red clay that she had read about online. Instead the soil was sandy brown as if the beach had invaded the mainland.
“Do you think this place will have fried green tomatoes?” Eden asked.
“I’ll bet they do.” Dr. Leopold chuckled, but then his face turned solemn. “You still feeling okay about this trip? It’s not too much, is it?”
A knot formed in Eden’s stomach. Those words again: too much.
They had lost the same person and been through the same journey together. Couldn’t he understand this was her chance to meet her mother’s family? Eden couldn’t explain how a place she had never visited could feel so much like home. How could she describe that kind of yearning to her father? Nothing could ever be too much for Eden. Not even the universe could fill the empty space her mother had left.
“Remember, you have to tell me.” Dr. Leopold stumbled in her silence. “If you’re not okay, you have to let me know.”
He was treating Eden like a glass flower again, so different from her mother, who always trusted that she had the strength to handle things. To bend but not break to whatever the world gave her. Strong enough not to shatter into tiny shards.
“Dad, this is my family,” Eden finally said. “This is my chance to finally meet them.”
Dr. Leopold ran his hand over his cropped curls, a nervous tic. “I just don’t want this visit to make you sad.”
“I’m already sad,” Eden answered.
“I know,” her father stated quietly.
They were still in grief counseling. It had been good for both of them, although difficult. Eden had spent the first session watching her father weep. It was in a recent session that the decision had been made to visit Safina Island as a healing balm. Dr. Leopold was reluctant about the idea at first, but when Eden persisted, he finally agreed.
Her mother’s childhood on the island was murky. Eden knew Safina Island was where her enslaved ancestors had cultivated cotton and sugar cane. It was these ancestors who’d stayed on the island during the Civil War when their enslavers had fled. When the federal government had granted them land after the war, they made the island their home. When the former enslavers returned, the federal government stripped the free people of their granted land. But her mother’s family had been able to purchase the entire north side of Safina Island.
The Gardener family had stayed. They’d stayed through famine and hurricanes. They’d stayed through failed attempts of golf courses and luxury hotels. The Gardener family persevered and had lived on their land for over two centuries.
Every spring her mother’s family held a celebration on Safina Island. Eden knew about these anniversaries of the Gardener land purchase from the invitations in pale blue envelopes sent by her great-aunt. The same one who also sent Eden birthday cards every year with a pressed island flower and a crisp twenty-dollar bill. Her mother had never wanted to attend these celebrations, so Eden had never been given a chance to visit Safina Island.
Now she was going to meet her mother’s family and learn all the things that were blurred in her history.
Her mother had been twelve years old when she left the island of her ancestors. The same age Eden was now. More than anything, she wanted to know why her mother never wanted to return to her birthplace.
Elvira’s Diner was tucked off a dusty side road. A few cars were parked in the small lot. Most of them had Georgia plates with faded peach decals. Eden decided this was a place to eat for the coastal town’s locals.
When they entered the diner, the mostly brown faces of the patrons turned to gawk at them, but after a few awkward seconds, they returned to their conversations and food.
An older light-skinned woman in a pink apron greeted them. “Y’all want a table?”
“That would be great,” Eden’s father said.
The waitress scanned the parking lot. “It’s just y’all two?”
Dr. Leopold put his arm around Eden’s shoulder like a protective shield. “Yes, it’s just me and my daughter.”
The waitress led them to a leather booth with deeply cracked seats sealed with red masking tape. Eden slid in and quickly grabbed a menu.
“I’m going to find the restroom. Be back,” her father said.
Eden waited until he was gone before she opened her macramé bag. She pulled out her phone and called her best friend. Natalie answered immediately.
“Are you there yet?” she asked.
“Almost. We’re at a diner now. I don’t think it’s far from the dock.”
“Is your dad still acting weird?” Natalie asked.
“Yep,” Eden answered.
Hearing Natalie’s voice instantly calmed her. Natalie had been Eden’s best friend since her first day at Cathedral, the Maryland private school they both attended. They quickly became chosen sisters. The Chen household was a second home to Eden. At Lunar New Year, she got her own red envelope. She would help Natalie’s father put decadent fillings of minced pork and chives into dumplings, then watch him fry them to perfection. Eden would sit on Natalie’s thick rug and eat them until her stomach stretched tight in her clothes.
In the days after her mother’s death, Natalie had wrapped Eden in a quilt to keep the wolves of grief away. Her best friend’s family had been among the small number of people who wore white in the sea of black at the memorial service.
Now Eden envisioned Natalie in her bedroom, sitting on her thick rug wrapped in a plush terry-cloth robe with her pet rabbit, Fiver, on her lap. Surrounded by macramé cords and wooden beads for her latest craft project, she would have a cup of tea within reach for inspiration.
“I have to admit, I’m surprised your dad didn’t turn around and drive you straight back to Maryland. This is true progress,” Natalie said.
“It’s too late for that now,” Eden replied. “My uncle is coming to pick us up.”
Since Safina Island had no bridges connecting it to the mainland, they would have to cross the water in her great-uncle’s boat.
“Spring break will be so boring without you.” Natalie paused. “Are you nervous? You’ll be meeting so many people at once.”
Eden was worried about this. Not only was she going to her mother’s island for the first time, but she would also be meeting that entire side of her family. She hoped that she wouldn’t disappoint them.
“Aunt Susanna has always wanted us to come visit. It’ll be okay.”
“That’s true,” Natalie agreed. “But I’m going to miss you! I hope I don’t get so bored I decide to cut my own bangs. You won’t even be here to stop me.”
“Stop being so dramatic.” Eden laughed. “I’ll only be gone for a few days. You won’t even get a chance to miss me.”
Natalie was quiet for several moments, but she spoke again before Eden thought they had been disconnected.
“You’ve always wanted to go to Safina Island,” she said softly. “I’m so happy for you.”
After Eden said goodbye to her best friend, she pulled out a photograph. Last night while packing for her trip, she had taken it out of the frame she kept on her nightstand. It was the same photograph she had chosen for the memorial service program.
Her mother had been in the summer garden drenched in sunshine. They had just returned from Thyme After Thyme Nursery with packets of seeds. Eden stared at the smudges of dirt on her mother’s collarbone and cheek. This was how she wanted to remember her. She turned it over and stared at the two words in her father’s handwriting: Beloved Nora.
Dr. Nora Gardener, the botanist and professor. The woman who kept her family name when she married. The mother who filled up Eden’s bedroom with glass globes full of soil and succulents.
A prick of pain twisted in Eden’s eyes. Blinking back tears, she pushed the icy sadness away. This was the thing she had learned about grief. It gave no warning. She was never prepared for its sharp sting.
“Eden?” Her father’s voice brought her back to the realm of the diner.
Dr. Leopold was standing beside her, his face full of concern. He stared at the photograph in her hands.
“Your mother was very happy that day,” he said quietly.
Eden sniffed and put the photograph back in her purse as her father slid back into the booth and picked up the diner menu.
“Looks like they don’t have fried green tomatoes,” her father said, a slight disappointment in his voice.
Eden peered out the diner window. This was the closest she had ever been to her mother’s birthplace. Soon she would be on Safina Island, and questions bubbled up her throat.
Her father lowered his menu. “Are you okay?”
“Why did Mom never want to come back here?”
Her father hesitated. “It’s complicated.”
Eden swallowed. “Are… are the Gardeners bad people?”
“No, of course not. They’re good, hardworking people, and your mother loved her family. It was hard after the divorce when her father, your grandfather, left the island.” Dr. Leopold ran a hand over his cropped curls. “Then she was in an accident and had to go to the mainland to recover. I think she never came back because all those memories haunted her.”
“She never talked to me about it,” Eden said. “Do you know what kind of accident—”
They were interrupted by the waitress arriving at their table with two glasses of sweet tea. “These drinks on the house. Y’all done figured out what to eat yet?”
Dr. Leopold ordered the special, and Eden ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Her father avoided meeting Eden’s eyes, and she knew that he wouldn’t talk any more about her mother in this public place. For now, her questions would have to remain unanswered until she arrived on the island.

About the Book
After the death of Eden’s mother, Eden and her father visit Safina Island, part of a group of sea islands off the coast of Georgia. Meeting her mother’s family for the first time, Eden learns about the history of her mother’s childhood home. Upon discovering one of her mother’s sketchbooks, a volume filled with terrifying images of a dark world, Eden can’t shake off the feeling that her mother’s drawings depict a real place. Her curiosity gets the better of her, and she stumbles into Everdark, a world of eternal darkness. As Eden sensed, Everdark was not merely a figment of her mother’s childhood imagination, but a realm ruled by a witch whose anger from the injustices done to her has created a world of endless night. Can Eden defeat the Witch of Everdark in time to save her own life and begin to move beyond the unbearable grief that lives in her heart?
1. On page three, you learn that Eden and her father have been in grief counseling after the death of her mother, and that “in a recent session . . . a decision had been made to visit Safina Island as a healing balm (Chapter one).” What is a balm? Why do you think that Eden persists in getting her father to agree to visit her mother’s birthplace? Throughout the book, Eden refers to her deep feelings of grief. In what ways is being on Safina Island a healing balm for her?
2. References to light and dark, sun and moon, and day and night run through Eden’s Everdark. What do you think these references represent?
3. After Eden and her father arrive on Safina Island, Uncle Willie drives them to his home as the sun sets over the island. He says, “‘Can’t see much now, but at dayclean, y’all have a feast for your eyes.’” (Chapter two) He goes on to explain to Eden that the term dayclean means a “A fresh day. When light banish dark.” (Chapter two) Discuss ways in which light overcomes darkness in the story.
4. As Eden discovers her magic, it reveals itself as a green light that can make plants grow. How is Eden able to summon this power, a power that she did not believe she possessed? Issac is able to “conjure light in a world of darkness.” (Chapter twenty-four) In what other ways do Eden, Isaac, Lorenzo, Ruby, Netty, and Old Bull create light in this dark world?
5. After Eden finds her mother’s sketchbooks and sees the frightening scenes that would reveal themselves to be Everdark, Eden senses a “faint recognition.” Why do you think Eden recognizes something familiar in her mother’s haunting imagery? What is intuition? Discuss additional examples of when Eden’s intuition surfaced. How did her instincts help her to survive in Everdark? What happened when she ignored her intuition?
6. Memory plays a powerful role in Eden’s Everdark. How do memories of her mother bolster Eden in her most difficult moments? How does memory become the catalyst to the story’s climax? In chapter twenty-nine, Eden wonders if the dead forget. She asks herself what she would be without the memory of the people she loved and who loved her. How do memories of those you love and those who love you shape who you are? How are memories gifts that can never be stolen?
7. In chapter seven, The Renata Mansion, Eden learns the history of how the Spelling Family brought enslaved people to Safina Island. Upon hearing this painful history, she feels anger and resentment like “a scalding brew in the pit of her stomach.” Eden experiences feelings of anger over and over again while being held prisoner in Everdark. How does she use her anger to her advantage?
8. Eden is a descendent of the Gardener family.
Her grandmother had told her it was after freedom that the family had chosen Gardener as their last name. It was what they had been known for on the island, because there wasn’t anything their family couldn’t grow. Never let anyone tell you that we were unworthy, Granny Alma had said. We were prized for our knowledge of the land, and that’s why we were enslaved. (Chapter seven)
8. Discuss the economics of enslavement. Why was enslaving people so vitally important to those who did so, so much so that they would fight a war to keep it from being abolished?
9. Eden is a curious child. Discuss specific scenes in which Eden’s curious nature both helps and harms her. Do you think it was more than curiosity that led Eden to discover the gash in the forest? If so, what?
10. Although Grace conspires with the witch to keep Eden a prisoner of Everdark, Eden is able to recognize the grief in Grace at the loss of her true love, Almond. How does the pain of losing her true love darken Grace’s heart? In contrast, Eden uses the grief over her mother’s death as a force for good. In what other ways are Eden and Grace similar, yet different?
11. Discuss the evolution of Mary Turner. How did the injustices and humiliations she experienced during her lifetime create the Witch of Everdark? How does her rage fuel her powers?
12. Eden’s curiosity causes her to ask Netty about her past. When Netty looks away, “Eden’s cheeks burned with regret.” (Chapter sixteen) What is regret? Why do you think she regrets probing Netty about her past? What does this feeling of regret reveal about Eden’s character? After Eden apologizes to Netty, Netty replies, “‘stop saying sorry. . . . That word ain’t got no meaning here.’” What do you think Netty means? When does an apology have meaning?
13. Hope is one of the prevailing themes in Eden’s Everdark. How is Eden able to cling to hope even after she becomes a spirit? In chapter thirty-eight, when Eden believes that the fallow seeds would no longer respond to her, “the elder stories gave Eden a glimmer of hope, a small kindling of faith.” How did the stories shared with her about her own ancestors give Eden the faith to believe in her abilities?
14. In Everdark, Eden learns that the bruises on her arm and hands are signs of the blowback. Netty explains what the term means: “‘Laying tricks that ain’t yours got a price. . . . Mother Mary took from the elder spirits when she brung the mansion here. Sun set and ain’t never come back up. She mark our skin too. Real color drain out.’” (Chapter twenty) Describe the term blowback in your own words. How does the term relate to the fact that all actions have consequences? Share examples of blowback that you have experienced.
15. Discuss Ruby’s betrayal and what motivated her to return Eden to the witch’s mansion. Do you think the lie was justified? Why doesn’t Eden trust her instincts as Ruby pretends to lead her back to Willow Hammock? How does betrayal influence the witch and the world she created in Everdark?
16. Eden discovers that the girl who Ade helped escape Everdark was her own mother, Nora. How does this realization and connection to her mother’s past give Eden a new sense of purpose and inner strength to defeat the witch?
17. In chapter thirty, The Witch’s Greenhouse, Eden experiences a “bittersweet twist of emotions.” Regret, sadness, and a “hollow happiness.” What do you think she means by hollow happiness? Discuss how the rose, with its beautiful blooms and dangerous thorns, is a metaphor for showing the “meaning of balance.”
18. In chapter thirty-one, A Packet of Seeds, Bull gives Eden a packet of sunflower seeds. Discuss the power of seeds. In the previous chapter, Eden recalls her mother saying that sunflowers are useful blooms. How does the author use seeds and sunflowers as the bridge to the climactic scene in which Eden is able to defeat the witch? Consider themes of light versus darkness, growth, renewal, inner strength, and memory.
19. In chapter forty-three, Eden is able to be with her mother for a short period of time. She is able to say goodbye. How does this encounter give Eden the closure she needs to move beyond her grief? Nora says to Eden, “‘Nothing ever dies. . . . It just changes.’” What do you think she is trying to tell Eden? Do you agree that nothing dies, but only changes?
- Broken Promises. In chapter one of Eden’s Everdark, Eden learns that Safina Island was the place where her enslaved ancestors had cultivated cotton and sugar cane, and that the federal government had granted them land after the Civil War, only to strip the newly freed people of their land once the enslavers returned to the island. This is just one example of the injustices perpetrated upon formerly enslaved people in the years after the end of the Civil War. Undertake research into this period of time in American history known as Reconstruction (1865–1877). Use reliable primary and secondary sources while conducting research. Work independently, with a partner, or in a small group to create a presentation or artwork to reflect your understanding of this period.
- Botanica. Eden’s mother, Nora, was an artist who had published two books of botanical art, illustrations of plants. (For a more complete definition of botanical art and botanical illustration, visit https://www.botanicalartandartists.com). Work with the art and/or science teachers to explore the history of botanical illustration. Explore drawing techniques used by botanical artists. Select plants and flowers native to your region of the world and create a local volume of botanica. Donate copies of the finished volumes to your local library or historical society.
- Culture Connections. In chapter four, A Special Celebration and chapter six, Island Stories, Eden begins to learn and appreciate her family’s unique island culture and heritage. She experiences a celebration, regional language, dance and music, cuisine, and folklore that help her begin to form a special connection with her mother’s and her own family members, as well as to the island itself. Reread these two chapters. Keep a list of those things that represent the culture of Eden’s Safina Island family. With a partner, discuss the items on your list. Next, think about additional aspects of culture that you could include, such as clothing, superstitions, values, symbols, and religion. Create a poster or digital slideshow that presents elements of your own family’s culture.
- Take the A Train. The Harlem Renaissance is a term used to describe “a renewal and flourishing of Black literary and musical culture during the years after World War I in the Harlem section of New York City” (dictionary.com). Mary Turner refers to Harlem as she describes to Eden how she was a budding star there after leaving Safina Island for New York City as a young woman. Research this time of creative energy in American History. Explore the great artists, writers, and musicians whose work still resonates with people to this day. To begin, explore the following websites:
- Flowers in the Dark. In chapter thirty-nine, Flowers in the Dark, the author uses figurative language, sensory details, and word choice to allow readers to vividly imagine each beat of the action and suspense.

Raves and Reviews
"As haunting as it is heartfelt, Eden’s Everdark is a fantastically eerie tale of bound spirits and eternal night, rooted in family and blooming with love. Strong’s writing absolutely shines with magic."
– Heather Kassner, author of The Plentiful Darkness
"Eden's Everdark hums with magic and mystery--a novel brimming with unsettling secrets, quiet beauty, and fierce love. Karen Strong creates an enchanted world that reminds the reader that their light can shine, even in the darkest, most desperate hours. A sensitive and lyrical portrait about the complexities of grief, the power of hope, and of finding ourselves wherever we are."
– Samira Ahmed, New York Times bestselling author of Internment and Amira & Hamza: The War to Save the Worlds
"A deliciously creepy and suspenseful Southern Gothic story that engages with the consequences of the country’s monstrous past while also beautifully centering the story of a girl frozen by grief at the loss of her mother. What makes this book truly ingenious is the way Karen Strong shows that the salve to both these societal and personal wounds can be found in the same way: finding joy and love in community and a deep connection to family past and present. This is a phenomenal book."
– Anne Ursu, author of The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy
"Gorgeous, lush, and sparkling with strangeness, Eden's Everdark is a heartfelt, thrilling story about what it means to reckon with the past—and fight for the future."
– Hayley Chewins, author of The Sisters of Straygarden Place
“Karen Strong has performed a magic trick, weaving a story built on heartbreak and hope, tender intimacy and the sweep of history, sinister ghosts and debilitating grief, and tied it to a place that felt so real I could taste the salt in the air, and feel the gentle touch of familial love. I felt a profound connection to Eden - her sorrow and pain, her deep need to belong, her deep and suffocating fear, and her profound courage. She is a clear-eyed and indomitable heroine. Eden's Everdark is an intricate tale, both terrifying and heartbreaking, and it asks an important question: how do we free ourselves from the ghosts of the past? And how do we prevent the evil of others poisoning ourselves? This novel is stunning, moving, and marvelously strange. I loved every page.”
– Kelly Barnhill, bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author
“Stunning, moving, and marvelously strange. I loved every page.”
– Kelly Barnhill, bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author
"Karen Strong uses her particular brand of magic to weave a spine-tingling tale of ghosts and grief, and how we can be haunted by both in equal measure. A beautiful story that embraces the darkness, but always makes room for those glimmering threads of hope and love to shine through."
– Hanna Alkaf, author of The Girl and the Ghost
"A haunting enchantment, Eden's Everdark transports readers into a spirit world full of spectacular adventure, heart-wrenching truths, and a constellation of characters to be remembered long after the story is finished. A can't be missed novel working in the beautiful folkloric tradition of Black American storytellers."
– Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author

City Councilor Rob Consalvo (Hyde Park, Roslindale, Mattapan) says he sympathizes with people with the sort of debilitating illnesses who would require medical marijuana, but he doesn't want the dispensaries approved by voters to be allowed to set up shop just anywhere.
Consalvo on Wednesday asks the City Council to approve a hearing to start figuring out how to limit where dispensaries can open.
The City Council sympathizes with those individuals suffering from debilitating medical conditions; however, the City of Boston has the responsibility to ensure that the Zoning Code be updated to ensure that dispensaries be zoned and located in the most appropriate way in our neighborhoods.
Consalvo's proposed hearing would seek input from, among others, the BRA, Boston Police, and state and city public-health departments on siting marijuana sales outlets.

If you’re wondering how many calories are in a single slice of Papa John’s pizza, don’t fret. The typical medium-sized PapaJohn’s pizza contains 238 milligrams of phosphorus, which is an essential nutrient needed for bone and tooth formation. And since you’ll probably eat another slice or two later, a small pizza will be more than enough to feed up to 8 people.
The small Papa John’s pizza has about eight to ten inches of diameter, while the medium-sized one is about 12 inches in diameter. Medium-sized Papa John’s pizzas contain eight to ten slices, while the large-sized pizzas contain around ten slices. A small-sized PapaJohn’s pizza is smaller and contains four portions. Depending on the occasion, the size you order may depend on how much food you’d like to eat.
For convenience, Papa John’s pizza comes in four different sizes. Small pizzas are eight to ten inches in diameter, while medium-sized ones contain three to four slices. Extra-large pizzas have about fourteen inches in diameter, and XXL papa john’s pizzas have sixteen or twenty slices. The smaller the slice, the more calories the pizza will contain. You can also save money by ordering thin-crust pizzas.
If you’re wondering how many slices a small Papa John’s pizza can contain, there’s no need to worry. The average size of a medium-sized pizza is eight to ten inches. That’s a little under two slices for a single person, and a large one has twelve. Lastly, if you want to order a large-sized pizza, you’ll need three to four medium-sized pizzas.
As far as nutrition goes, a small Papa John’s pizza contains about 200 calories. A large-sized PapaJohn’s pizza, on the other hand, has 400 calories per slice. The XXL size is a little more than two inches in diameter. Hence, it will probably serve a single person. A large Papa John’s pizza, however, is more than five times as dense as a small one.
According to the size of a Papa John’s pizza, the small size contains about eight to ten centimeters of breaded crust. Large-sized pizzas, on the other hand, have more than ten inches of diameter. The small is usually around eight to ten inches wide and can be extended to 20 inches long. A large-sized pizza is about 40 inches long. This is a large-sized pie.
If you’re wondering how many slices a small Papa John’s pizza has, you need to know that it is usually about ten inches in diameter and has eight to ten. In other words, a medium-sized Papa John’s pizza is about eight to ten inches in diameter and has ten to a dozen slices. In contrast, a small-sized PapaJohn’s pie is four to six inches in diameter and has four to five.
A small PapaJohn’s pizza has about six to eight slices, while a large-sized one can feed three to four adults. You can also get a small-sized PapaJohn’s pizza with eight to 12 or 13-inch-diameter crust. A large-sized one has twelve to fourteen-inch-diameter crust. And an XXL PapaJohn’s pizza is fourteen inches wide and has 12 to twelve or more slices.
As a general rule, a small PapaJohn’s pizza contains approximately 440 calories, and an extra-large pizza has four hundred and forty-five grams of fat per slice. An extra-large PapaJohn’s pizza, on the other hand, contains a single-person. As a result, it’s easy to estimate how many slices a small PapaJohn’s pizza can hold.
The answer is a lot, but it’s worth the effort. A small PapaJohn’s pizza is about two-and-a-half inches in diameter, and can serve up to three adults. A medium-sized PapaJohn’s pizza, on the other hand, is about 12 inches in diameter and has eight slices. In general, a small-sized PapaJohn’s pizza is the right choice for most people.

Case launches military skid steer, CTL line
Amy Materson | April 16, 2010
Case Construction Equipment introduced its line of military skid steers and compact track loaders at an event held at the CNH Wichita Plant April 14. The machines, produced under a 10-year contract with U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, are equivalent in size to the 420 Series 3 models.
Case will manufacture up to 1,500 M400T compact track loaders and 1,900 M400W skid steers, all of which include special modifications for military applications, including a weapons rack, 24-volt starting and charging system, minus 25-degree F cold start and chemical agent resistant coating. Additionally, both the M400W and M400T operate on jet fuel, and both models have been tested to withstand air drops into the field.

In 1814, Sara Stevenson, the well-bred but high-spirited daughter of celebrated Scottish lighthouse designer Robert Stevenson, falls in love with a common sailor, Thomas Crichton. On the day of their clandestine elopement, Thomas mysteriously disappears, leaving Sara heartbroken, secretly pregnant, and at the mercy of her overbearing family. Refusing to relinquish her hopes that Thomas will someday return to her, Sara is banished to an eerie lighthouse on lonely and remote Cape Wrath. There she meets William Campbell, the reclusive yet dashing light-keeper who incites her ire—and interest. Soon Sara begins to accept her life on the cape and her growing attraction to William—until a mystifying package from an Oxford antiquarian arrives, giving intriguing clues to Thomas’s whereabouts. Through her correspondence with the antiquarian, Sara slowly uncovers the story of her beloved’s fate. But what she doesn’t immediately grasp is that these letters travel an even greater distance than she could have imagined—as the boundaries between time and space unravel to forge an incredible connection between a woman and a man many years apart.

The Exile of Sara Stevenson
Somebody once told me that every tower had a ghost, and every ghost had a story. Certainly there’s nothing more compelling than a well-told ghost story. They made for great fireside tales, tales devised to scare children so they’d lie awake in their beds late into the night straining to hear ghostly footsteps on the landing, the rattling of chains against the walls or, heaven forbid, the high-pitched moans of the unliving. As a child, tales of the ghosts of Edinburgh enthralled me—specters such as the immortal Wizard of West Bow Street ambling down the lane with his demonic thornwood staff, boisterously celebrating his hellish afterlife, or the Lone Piper playing his haunting lament in the secret tunnels beneath the Royal Mile. There were gray ladies wandering through castles by the score, and the White Lady of Corstorphine appearing in a virginal gown of white as she brandished the very sword used to kill her unfaithful lover . . . still dripping with his blood! I’ve heard tales from those who have witnessed for themselves the Death Coach—that notorious ghostly soul-collector, pulled by black, demon-eyed steeds who blew flames of fire out their nostrils—and lived to tell their tale, and fewer still were those who had actually seen the headless drummer boy at the Castle, beating his ghostly tattoo, an augury of a future attack on the city. It was marvelous fun, but just stuff. Besides, it was common knowledge that those who claimed to have actually seen an entity dangling between the living and the dead were those known to succumb to flagrant imbibing. Sure, some argued that excessive drink was a result of a frightening encounter, not a precur...

Bernie Sanders filed his tax returns and Senate financial disclosures during his campaign. They showed he earned an income of $205,271 and payed $31,825 in taxes for 2014. These returns only covered until his campaign started.
His Senate financial disclosure showed that he had to fend off $50,000 in credit card debt and nearly $1 million in mortgage debt for the same period. On top of this he reported a total net worth of only $528,014.
However in August Senator Sanders and his wife paid $600,000 in cash for a summer “vacation home” with 500 feet of Lake Frontage on Lake Champlain. Part of this his wife said came from the sale of a home that had been in her family since 1900. Perhaps it did! Still after having to fend of $50,000 in credit card debt and a million dollar mortgage debt why would they purchase another home especially when it cost Sanders more than his stated net-worth.
Sanders new political organization “Our Revolution” tax status is 501(c)(4) which simply means it can collect large sums of money from anonymous sources. Many of Sander’s people including, Kenneth Pennington, who was the digital director of Our Revolution have quit as a result of this and over questions about his finances that have arisen since he left the race. Oddly, Sanders has decried how all this money in politics has destroyed the democratic process.
None of this has been a story in Vermont where Sanders has “Rock Star” status. He needs no money for reelection campaigns even though he is 74 years old and will likely serve until his death as will Senator Leahy who is 76 and will be elected for another six years in November.
Sorry Mr. Milne but these two men could die and they would still be reelected if their names were on the ballot. It’s one of the reasons we need term limits. As for Bernie’s financial situation, it just seemed a little odd to me.
