Though a staple in high school English classes, Julius Caesar is not a simple play. Seemingly irreconcilable forces are at work: fate and free will, the changeableness and stubbornness of ambitious men, the demands of public service and the desire for private gain. Drawn from history as recorded by Plutarch, the major characters - Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Mark Antony - are complex, as are the twists and turns of their fortunes. What kind of man rises to power? What price does he pay when he becomes a politician? These questions raised by Shakespeare are relevant in every age, whether ancient Rome, Elizabethan England, or even our own day.
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a tragedy based on the historical events surrounding the death of Caesar, exploring the motivations of the men who orchestrated it and surrounded him in public and political life.
The Student Guide includes Reading Notes, Vocabulary, Comprehension Questions, Socratic Discussion Questions, and Essay Prompts.
The Teacher Guide includes the inset student guide with answers, guides for Socratic Discussion Questions, and Quizzes and Quiz Keys.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Harper Lees's To Kill A Mockingbird is a masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South—and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred.
The Student Study Guides feature helpful reading notes, extensive vocabulary training, comprehension questions, Socratic discussion questions, work with quotes, and literary and rhetorical devices presented in bold to prepare students for sophisticated literary analysis and/or future work in AP Literature and college classes.

Romeo and Juliet: the greatest love story? Our postmodern age revels in the passion and romance of the young lovers, but perhaps we overlook crucial subtleties in the text. This study guide seeks to exercise your reading, writing, and thinking, and to illumine your understanding—helping you explore and determine where the actual tragedy lies.
The literature study guides continue in the tradition of training students to read actively, but have been expanded and developed to lead students through a four-stage Trivium based continuum to the acquisition and expression of the Central One Idea of a story or poem. The students are guided to read and think through the grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages towards the essence of a story: the central proposition that gives the story its ultimate meaning and expression.

Candy is a fully restored, 1962 Shasta Airflyte 16-foot vintage camper, the showpiece vehicle of vintage trailers restored by Retro Trailer Design, a fast-growing business created by the Nashes, longtime Costco members. The business fully restores and sells castaway, pre-1970 trailers and works with clients to customize and repair their own classic rigs.
This onetime driveway-and-garage hobby began in 2005, when Vicky, a tourism marketing and communications professional, read a magazine article about Sisters on the Fly, a group of women who travel the country in antique trailers painted with colorful murals. Intrigued, she searched for and found a 1970 Shasta needing just cosmetic repairs for sale. Richard, a lifelong classic car buff and cus-tom-home builder, agreed to help fix it up.

Six-year old Jayson (with volunteer Carla Tomson) was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age three. Photo by Kendall Klein.
Since its inception in 2002, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation (TBCF) has provided emotional, educational and comprehensive non-medical financial support for families whose children are diagnosed with cancer, both during treatment and into recovery in Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo. While it’s a regional-focused foundation, TBCF can provide local families with more financial assistance than any other organization in the nation.
Since Nikki Katz founded the nonprofit more than 15 years ago, TBCF has helped more than a thousand individuals and awarded over $1.8M in financial assistance to families who have a child with cancer.
Jayson has spent the past three years in and out of the hospital and is known as “Pizza Jay,” because when taking his photo for TBCF’s Gold Ribbon Campaign last year, the photographer said, “Say ‘Pizza,’ Jay!” and his little voice yelled out, “Pizza Jay!” Photo by Kendall Klein.
Low- and moderate-income families can receive up to $5,000 for living expenses such as rent, groceries, car expenses or hotel accommodations near the hospital. For children who relapse, families can request an additional $2,500. The foundation serves children from birth to age 18, or, if diagnosed after 18 years old, until they turn 21.
Last year, Jayson underwent a stem cell transplant at City of Hope. Now back at home, Jason is receiving academic help from TBCF, as he has missed a large amount of school due to his treatments. Photo by Kendall Klein.
TBCF devotes a significant portion of their programs to emotional support through family support groups, realizing that children and families face many challenges after a cancer diagnosis. In partnership with local organizations and licensed professionals, TBCF offers groups for families whose child is newly diagnosed or undergoing treatment and bereavement support for those experiencing the loss of a child. They also provide childcare for younger children during support groups.
Realizing that the stress of caring for a sick child is exhausting and isolating, TBCF hosts events, such as Mother’s Spa Day, to provide rest and rejuvenation for parents. Bear Necessities, another support group, provides families with furniture, appliances, clothing, bedding and hospital care packages. Family Fun Days are another important component of emotional wellness and can include excursions to sporting events and the children’s pediatric holiday party.
Families of children in treatment can receive Christmas gifts, Easter baskets, Thanksgiving dinners, valentine baskets, grocery vouchers and, of course, lots of stuffed teddy bears to hug, all filled with love by donors whose generous support provide all these items and programs.

What only a few years ago looked to be a subset of the American short story world has now emerged as a fully established genre: the diaspora experience of (name country here). Jhumpa Lahiri won a Pulitzer Prize for Interpreter of Maladies in 2000, a story collection based on the Indian experience, and followed it a few years ago with Unaccustomed Earth, a collection on the same theme. Junot Diaz had earlier introduced the Dominican Republic diaspora with the short story collection Drown (1996) – he returned to the theme in his Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, in 2008. Chimamanda Adichie last year explored the Nigerian version with The Thing Around Your Neck. I am sure there are others – and certainly if we look back in American literary history there are precedents (most notably Irish and Jewish), so the phenomenon is not really that new. The homelands may have changed and the world may have moved on, but many of the elements of the story are similar.
The latest addition is the Colombian diaspora and it comes in the first book for 33-year-old Patricia Engel, born in New Jersey to Colombian parents. Her nine story collection, Vida, is set there and in New York and Miami, with occasional flashbacks and holiday trips to Colombia itself. What is different about Engel’s work is that all nine stories feature the same central character, Sabina, whom we first meet as a school child, although most of the stories involve her experiences as a young adult.
It was the year my uncle got arrested for killing his wife, and our family was the subject of all the town gossip. My dad and uncle were business partners, so my parents were practically on trial themselves, which meant that most of the parents didn’t want their kids to hang around me anymore, and I lost the few friends I had.
We were foreigners, spics, in a town of blancos. I don’t know how we ended up there. There’s tons of Latinos in New Jersey, but somehow we ended up in the one town that only kept them as maids. All the kids called me brownie on account of my permanent tan, or Indian because all the Indians they saw on TV were dark like me. I thought the gringos were all pink, not white, but I never said so. I was a quiet kid. Lonely, and a hell of a lot lonelier once my family became the featured topic on the nightly news.
Sabina’s family is not poor; indeed, they employ a succession of maids. When we meet her, she is 14; the Lucho of the title is her first boy friend – he’s actually from California but acquired his name from the Argentine who fathered him and then promptly departed the family. Sabina’s casual relationships with questionable men will be a constant factor in the stories.
He told me to go with him, that I live too close to the scene.
While her execution is somewhat clumsy, Engel is making a point with her use of 9/11, a point that will be underscored in a later story when we discover her parents lived in the drug centre of Medellin before immigrating to the United States. The impact of these “global” events is almost coincidental for her characters – they are so far out of the power loop, that the events exist as almost peripheral disruptions to immigrant life. Life is much more about weaving a way to survival.
Most of the rest of the stories are about what is involved in that weaving. In the title story, “Vida”, Sabina is hanging out in Miami with a new sometime boy friend with East European roots. Vida is another Colombian, the girl friend of Sabina’s boy friend’s mate. The two become close and Vida reveals that she was “sold” as a prostitute when she arrived in America — her boy friend was the brothel guard who “rescued” her, although that turns out merely to be an exchange of imprisonment. How Sabina helps her weave a route to survival is the major theme of the story.
By using Sabina as the central character and focusing on the “survival” theme, Engel creates a novel-like feel to the collection. She is a confident writer, with a narrative style that well suits the relative lack of action in her plots – what is a big deal for Sabina is not really a big deal for the rest of the world. Much like Lahiri’s stories, that’s the central point of Engel’s stories.
The result is a worthwhile book, although I suspect not to everyone’s taste. Readers who are interested in the immigrant experience – particularly as seen by the second generation – will find much to contemplate in this collection. With her focus on a single individual, the author succeeds in exploring a highly personal, rather than political, story.
The publisher’s promotional material states that they have a novel under contract as well, so Engel would seem to be following the Diaz route. There is every reason to look forward to her next book.

Do you have uncomfortable gas and bloating that doesn’t go away?
But it IS coming from your gut, and once you see the problem, that bubbly afterparty in your belly just makes sense. You’ll learn the hidden cause AND 5 simple actions you can take right away to bring peace and calm back to your digestive tract.
According to the National Institutes of Health, bloating, gassiness, and abdominal discomfort aren’t limited to the occasional holiday feast. 1 in 10 Americans (that’s 35 million people) say they suffer from bloating regularly, even when they haven’t eaten a large meal. In some cases, bloating can become severe enough that it causes distention, or noticeable swelling of the abdomen til you feel like you could pop.
Lactose: Lactose intolerance is associated with many digestive symptoms, including bloating. Lactose is the main carbohydrate in milk.
Fructose: Fructose intolerance can lead to bloating.
Wheat and gluten: Many people are intolerant to gluten, a protein in wheat, spelt, barley and some other grains. This can lead to various adverse effects on digestion, including bloating.
Are you confused by increasing food sensitivity?
It can be bewildering when foods you’ve eaten forever begin causing unrest in your gut. If you’re bewildered at how foods that once were fine for you could now be contributing to gas, bloating and gut pain, you’ll want to read up on the epidemic rise in food allergy in the US in the last 15 years.
Risk factors to your gut, you should know.
Do you take Ibuprofen for gut pain?
Are NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds) like Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Relafen or Celebrex helping or hurting? According to a medical review of studies in 2011, NIH reports that all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs cause gastrointestinal complications. And recent clinical study demonstrated the prevalence of small intestinal mucosal injury from NSAIDS is far more common than previously expected.
Healthy Mucous Membranes for a calm and peaceful gut.
Your immune system is only as strong as your mucous membranes. They bear the tremendous task of keeping the outside world out of your bloodstream AND keeping your inner world running smoothly… beginning first in the gut. This semi-permeable lining is your frontline of defense against invaders in the food, air and water you take into your body. In addition to lining all body cavities that make contact with the outside world, your mucous membranes line and cradle organs, holding them in place and creating lubrication to keep your innards moving comfortably as you go about your day. CLICK for more about maintaining healthy mucous membranes.
Get to the Root. Out with the Mold, in with the new!
If you’ve done a dance with chronic gut pain, gas and bloating and have not found satisfactory relief yet, consider a 30 day Reboot challenge to the potentially overgrown fungus or other microbiota residing in your mucous membranes. If the thought of fungus growing inside your body grosses you out, step back a minute and consider that everyone on the planet, including the robustly healthy among us has a limited number of yeast/fungi living in the mucous membranes of the body. Friendly bacteria, an alkaline diet and a peaceful existence all serve to keep the friendly organisms in control. But, any one of 8 different risk factors can upset the balance and tip your chemistry in favor of sugar loving fungus and mold.
And now, a few surprising things you can do to relieve ongoing bloating and indigestion at it’s root.
For 30 days, refresh all your body systems with Reboot by Feel Good Foods and see for yourself how great it is to finally feel good again. Here’s how the Reboot Protocol breaks down.
1. Normalize the Bowel – Train your bowels to take the garbage out every day. When toxins and metabolic waste have a way out of the body you’ll think more clearly, feel lighter and obtain more energy from the food you eat. Exodus GI Sponge is a prebiotic liquid sponge that sweeps the digestive tract of all trigger foods and many unwanted microbiota while nourishing the friendly bacteria you want to keep. Will bring immediate temporary relief for stomachaches, gas and bloating in about 5 minutes.
2. Remove Pathogens – Next, restore balance to all your mucous membranes by removing excess yeast, fungus, bad bacteria and other parasites. All bitter herbs have antifungal and antibacterial qualities. This blend beats them all. This is the powerful agent that removes gas/acid producing organisms that blow you up whenever they dine on your food supply.

Audio: Listen to this story.
One afternoon last April, Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, travelled to the Harvey Mine, in Sycamore, Pennsylvania, to declare that the agency had a new direction, which he called “Back to Basics.” It was an unusual place for the nation’s chief steward of clean air, land, and water to set out a policy agenda. Consol Energy, the owner of the Harvey facility, which is part of the largest underground coal-mining complex in North America, has been fined repeatedly by the E.P.A. for violations; in 2016, it had to pay three million dollars for having discharged contaminated wastewater into the Ohio River and its tributaries. Past E.P.A. administrators have spoken of creating jobs as a welcome potential by-product of the agency’s work, especially if they are green jobs, but creating or protecting energy jobs is not supposed to be the mission—protecting human health and the environment is. As the speech that Pruitt gave at the mine demonstrated, he seems to have these priorities reversed.
Pruitt, who is forty-nine, looked cheerful, as he generally does at public appearances. (He declined my requests for an interview.) Unlike many people who have joined the chaotic Trump Administration, he seems unconflicted about his new role, his ideological and career goals fitting together as neatly as Lego blocks. The former attorney general of Oklahoma, Pruitt ascended politically by fighting one regulation after another. In his first year at the E.P.A., he has proposed repealing or delaying more than thirty significant environmental rules. In February, when the White House announced its intention to reduce the E.P.A.’s budget by twenty-five per cent—one of the largest cuts for any federal agency—Pruitt made no objections. His schedule is dominated by meetings and speaking engagements with representatives of the industries he regulates. He has met only a handful of times with environmental groups.
The agency was established in 1970, by President Richard Nixon. William Ruckelshaus, its first administrator, who also led the E.P.A. under Ronald Reagan, told me, “My principal concern is that Pruitt and the people he’s hired to work with him don’t fundamentally agree with the mission of the agency. They seem more concerned about costs associated with regulations.” Myron Ebell, a climate-change skeptic who headed Trump’s transition team for the agency, praised Pruitt for concentrating on “the E.P.A.’s statutory responsibilities” and for “dropping many discretionary activities that have taken up more and more of the E.P.A.’s budget and staff time in recent years.” Pruitt argues that every E.P.A. action should be specifically grounded in a federal statute such as the Clean Air Act—fifty-four-year-old legislation that was last amended in 1990.
Pruitt and his admirers call this approach “E.P.A. originalism”—a nod to the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and his reading of the Constitution. The idea is that Pruitt is sticking to “traditional” priorities, such as cleaning up Superfund sites and contaminated drinking-water supplies, rather than focussing on newer and broader environmental threats, such as climate change.

It’s been five days and a lot of festive fun since we had our final service of 2017. We’ve had a brilliant year, from local award to new team members, so we’re excited about what’s to come when we’re back on 16th January! Big thanks to all our guests for joining us for our South Coast Tasting experience, as the Brighton restaurant scene continues to grow. Here are some of our highlights… hope to see you in 2018!
Isaac was chuffed to be named as the Brighton Food Hero at the Brighton & Hove Food & Drink awards this year. Our ethos at Isaac At has always been about championing local food and wine, getting to know our local producers and making sure we showcase the high quality of ingredients we are lucky enough to have here on our doorstep! Winning this award was the icing on the cake.
Our 1st birthday as a permanent Brighton restaurant!
In September we celebrated our first year of trading as a permanent restaurant, now open five days a week! It’s been a lot of hard work, but so worth it to see the team grow and so many new dishes and flavours created in the kitchen. Here’s what local food blogger Foodie Eshe thought of our celebratory menu.
This year we welcomed Aiden into the kitchen, with Colin joining Alex to manage Front of House. Our dedicated and ambitious team is what makes our concept what it is, allowing us to deliver some innovative dishes and ensuring our service is up there too.
Without our suppliers, we wouldn’t be able to deliver the type of dishes we do, as for us, it’s all about the quality of the ingredient you start with. We try to use simple cooking techniques and flavours to showcase the produce in the best way. This year we had the opportunity to work with Trenchmore Farm for an event for the Brighton & Hove Food & Drink Festival and we’ve continued to work with them ever since.
Isaac and the team continue to support Brighton Met College (previously City College), by mentoring students during prep and service at The Gallery restaurant. Isaac and Alex will be heading there on Tuesday 9th January to help them prepare and deliver a Sussex Tasting Menu too. There may be some tickets left to join them if you’re quick!
It’s really important for us to get out and explore Sussex as much as we can, as the local bounty is what inspires the dishes we create. This year we made sure we took some more time away from the kitchen to explore, forage and visit more of our suppliers. Visiting Nyetimber was a particular highlight!
If you joined us for our OctoberBest Brighton Gin & Dessert Bar, then you’ll know how much fun we had adding this concept to our menu! We created a menu of three desserts and two Brighton Gin cocktails, all for just £20pp. We love working with local producers on events like this, so watch this space for more to come in 2018. We also hosted a wine tasting evening with Brighton Wine Co, which was a great way to showcase some of the best wines from our exclusively English wine list.
It’s been tough picking our best bits, as we have a lot of fun in the kitchen every day. We’ve got a lot of exciting things planned for 2018, so we’d love to see you in the new year and hear what you think of the new additions to our tasting menu. Bookings are now open for January and February.

A budget is probably the least favourite of must-dos for a person trying to get a grip on her personal finance situation. The discipline of tracking expenses, assigning an amount for each and then staying within the allocated budget can all be a put-off. However, one has to start somewhere. “The ideal point to start is to make a distinction between discretionary and non-discretionary expenses and see how much you are spending on things," said Manish Shah, co-founder and chief executive officer, BigDecisions.com, a financial advisory.
A simple method to make sure you are on the right track if you are just a beginner is to work with percentages. It will help you identify where you are overspending. Here is how you can do so and how much you should allocate to each expense.
First of all, limit each head of expense to a range. This will help you stay within your income and take care of saving priority. “Work with your take-home pay so that you don’t exceed what’s available. At the same time, consider any allowance, such as for accommodation or travel. Write down all expenses for three months and then review. Care should be taken to reduce unwanted items in future. Based on this, one can prepare a budget," said Melvin Joseph, founder and chief financial planner, Finvin Financial Planners.
Here are some percentages that can be used as pointers. Use the percentages as guides, but custom tailor the budget.
Savings—15% onwards: The first goal for your savings should be to create an emergency fund. “There are three basic types of emergencies—loss of life, medical and job loss or potential loss in business. Be adequately insured for all three," said Shah.
For medical emergencies, financial planners advise on contingency funds for 3-9 months’ expenses. Also, have adequate medical insurance apart from what is provided by your employer.
“Try and start saving as early as possible in life. In fact, the sooner you start, the easier it will become for you to inculcate it as a habit," said Shilpi Johri, head-financial planning, Arthashastra Consulting, a Gurgaon-based financial advisory. Have an investment plan in place so that your savings will work towards meeting various financial goals.
“It’s important to work on limiting your expenses as a family. In a single-income family, one member can curb the other’s expenses. Children, too, should be involved in activities, such as, saving electricity," said Prakash Praharaj, founder, Max Secure Financial Planners, adding that these small contributions make the family aware of expenses.
Housing—25-33%: Housing is a major expense to be met out of one’s available income. It may be in the form of rent or equated monthly instalment (EMI) on a home loan. Include any mortgage insurance, taxes and other mandatory dues on the property in this amount. Exceeding one-third of your income, especially in the form of a loan, is risky to financial stability since it will restrict your ability to spend or even take loans for other needs.
Food—15-25%: Along with housing, this constitutes the biggest expense of a household, especially when income is low. This includes eating out, and if you find yourself exceeding the allotted limits, this may be the cause. “Keeping an eye on how many times you eat out, which is a discretionary expense, can be a good way to regulate your budget because you can eat out at a place for 500 or for 10,000. Try and regulate the number of times you go out so that you can use the amount you save under this head to fund other contingencies," said Johri.
Utilities—10-15%: This includes electricity, water, communication, cable and other expenses. This is an area where you can exercise some control. Shop around for good deals that meet your needs, and don’t pay for facilities you will not use. Judicious use of electrical appliances, a more cost-efficient mobile phone package, and choosing only that bouquet of TV channels that you watch regularly are some ways to keep expenses low.
Transport—10-15%: The cost of commuting includes fuel charges, any auto loan repayment, and auto insurance. This is again a category that allows you to economise depending upon your income. For example, if the commute is long and you don’t use public transport, then you may want to consider a vehicle that is fuel efficient to keep your costs down.
Child’s education—6-10%: You would like to give the best you can for your children. Apart from the school fees and related expenses, you will also have to consider the cost associated with extra activities that children are typically engaged in. Try to save for these in advance. Ask about refund policy so that if the child leaves the programme for whatever reason, you are able to get at least some money back.
Consumables—10-15%: All the things that you use for maintaining a home and yourself come under this head. Again, this is a category that allows you to economise—buy things in bulk and cut out those that you don’t really need.
Apart from consumables, clothes, shoes and other such purchases need planning, so that you get what you want within your budget. “When we start earning, we tend to splurge with the cash in hand on things we might not need. So, instead of buying those three shirts together and making your wardrobe unnecessarily too big, try and buy what you need and use the rest of the money on other things," said Johri.
Entertainment—2.5-5%: The thought of living by a budget but not being able to do the things that you like is a sure-fire recipe to make a budget fail. Set aside money to do the things that you enjoy, but without encroaching on money for other things.
Miscellaneous—1.5-5%: Unexpected expenses, such as repairs to equipment or vehicle repair costs, which are not covered by insurance, may catch you short of funds unless you have provided for it.
Be ready for give and take between the categories. If you live with your parents or your own house and are done with your EMI payments, you have the entire housing allocation for any of the other categories. Make sure you use it wisely for paying off debt or for investments and not only for upgrading your car and increasing your entertainment budget. Or, you may choose to live closer to your work place or children’s school and pay a higher rent in lieu of lower travel cost.
Remember, you have only your income to allocate to your expenses. If you live at 110% of your income, you are obviously setting yourself up for a debt crisis sooner or later. You can fine tune the budget over time with experience.
“Mandatory expenses cannot be avoided. Budgeting helps you differentiate between what’s essential and what’s avoidable. At the end, it will help in reducing the overall expenses and allot more money towards essential expenses," said Joseph.
It is, therefore, necessary that the mandatory or fixed payments are not a very high proportion of your income. Limit loan and other debt repayments to not more than 40% of income. Doing so will help you manage obligations even if there is a reduction in income.
The need to cut back may also become necessary by a change to a lower paying job or a double-income family becoming a single-income one. “A double-income family should keep six months’ living expenses in a emergency fund and single-income family should keep it at nine months. This needs to be created before starting investments," said Joseph.
If you see that your spending is exceeding the outer limit of your budget, don’t brush it aside as an aberration. Instead, question it and find the reason. This way, you are more likely to be able to control it.

An Olathe police officer reportedly fired a warning shot in a residential neighborhood before taking an armed suspect into custody.
Olathe, Kansas – Fox 4 news is reporting that an Olathe police officer fired a warning shot at an armed man who was indiscriminately shooting his gun in a residential neighborhood.
We hope that this is a mistake on the reporter’s part, because as we covered before, warning shots are almost always a horrible idea.
On April 8, 2017, at approximately 3:00 PM, Olathe Officers were dispatched to the 100 block of Pasadena Drive for an armed disturbance.
Officers located a male armed with a firearm. The male discharged multiple rounds randomly while walking in the neighborhood. An Olathe Officer discharged his department issued handgun at the suspect. No one was injured during the incident. The suspect was taken into custody.
This case remains under investigation by the Olathe Police Department. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to call the Olathe Police Department at (913) 971-6950 or the TIPS Hotline at (816).474-8477.
We’re glad that the suspect was taken into custody without anybody being hurt, but we are concerned that an officer may have fired a warning shot.
Warning shots threaten the lives of other people in the area. If lethal force is not justified, then a warning shot is an unnecessary risk. If lethal force is justified, then firing a warning shot is madness because it won’t end the immediate threat to life.
It’s not clear where the warning shot was fired, but in a residential neighborhood it would be hard to pick a safe target for a warning shot.
No further details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting have been released at this time.
It’s not clear if warning shots are allowed by Olathe Police Department policy.

Storybook Cosmetics has volunteered as tribute to create a Hunger Games-inspired makeup collection. If you recall, this is the same brand that dreamed up the viral Harry Potter wand brushes, Star Wars brushes, and Mean Girls palette. When it to comes to getting creative with geek-chic culture and playing into '90s nostalgia, Storybook Cosmetics has been winning.
So it was only time until the brand was inspired by one of the of the biggest cult series of the past decade: The Hunger Games. While we do not know much — other than that this line will be out in 2017 — we know it's happening thanks to an Instagram revealing the news. Fingers crossed it's a collection of brushes shaped like Katniss's arrows or a bold eye shadow palette, influenced by Effie's makeup. Watch this space for more details as they emerge!

their history of tragedy, betrayal and murder.
they go to hide the truth?
dead girl feeds her obsession to find the truth.
But will it be enough to lay Genevieve’s ghost to rest?.
THE PRICE OF FAME primarily uses two voices to tell the story: documentary film maker Antonia Carlyle who is living in the house in St.Kilda where The Tough Romantics, 80s punk band lived for a few months in the 1980s and where Genevieve James was killed; and a voice from the past, a manuscript transcribed by “missing witness” Joe Walenski from tapes he recorded of an account given by the cab driver in whose arms Genevieve actually died.
Walenski is revising the manuscript before handing it over chapter by chapter to Antonia. This has the effect of dragging Genevieve’s story out as well as giving the author time to develop the paranormal aspects to the story.
This is a debut paranormal crime novel by Australian author Rowena Cory Daniells. The story is firmly set in St. Kilda, a Melbourne beachside suburb, but for me there wasn’t much Australian about the context, despite the constant reminders of the suburb’s name. It gives a seamier picture of the suburb with prostitutes and rent boys, drug selling and a gang underbelly.
Suggestions of paranormal aspects to the story begins with the house hosting a poltergeist, with perhaps the spirit of the dead Genevieve James crying out to be heard, but more supernatural elements are added in during the latter half. Add into that Antonia’s own backstory, with an ex-husband out for revenge. And then individuals from the band re-surface, all wanting to control what Antonia’s documentary, by now to be a film about Genevieve’s murder, will reveal.
For me there were too many of these threads, too many red herrings, with the author struggling to bring it all together by the end. The result was an extra long novel, with the length detracting from the quality of the story.

The College of Medicine was established by the Royal Decree No. 3-B-53278, issued by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz on the 9th day of the month of Dhual-Qadih 1424 (1st January, 2004).
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has experienced a sharp and steady improvement in its economic status and infrastructure. Health services have been developed to a greater extent, as witnessed by accessibility and coverage indicators. The National Guard Health Affairs (NGHA) provides remarkably comprehensive, accessible and universal healthcare services for the entire population of the Kingdom. Without question, there is an overriding sense of prosperity and well being at the National Guard healthcare facilities, as they have consistently reported high quality patient care outcomes for the past several years.
Health care is a fundamental necessity; therefore, demand for health-related services typically remains high. The health services in the KSA are, however, being eclipsed by a sociodemographic reality; the percentage of Saudi nationals who are working in the healthcare sector is less than 20%. Hence, the national health manpower development is not keeping pace with the sector’s development. Thus, the need for expansion in health education to fill the big gap in local health manpower is well justified. The NGHA has recognized this need, and based on the sound reputation and sustained success of its large postgraduate residency / fellowship training programs at the King Abdulaziz Medical Cities in Riyadh and Jeddah, as well as the success of the recently established College of Nursing, this new College of Medicine was founded.
The College of Medicine is currently housed within the King Abdulaziz Medical City, which has an 400-bed tertiary-care hospital with highly qualified medical staff. This hospital will be the main teaching center for medical students. Beginning in September of 2010, more than 60 high school graduates and nearly 20 master�s students have had the opportunity to pursue a career in medicine.

“Killed in an 1871 Philadelphia Election Day riot to keep blacks from voting, Octavius Valentine Catto (1839–71) was a gifted schoolteacher, spellbinding classical orator, and first-rate second baseman. Most important, he was a civil rights activist. With fellow blacks who called themselves a “band of brothers,” Catto pushed to desegregate streetcars, secure voting rights, and demand rigor in schools in Pennsylvania and its self-styled City of Brotherly Love during the turbulent Civil War era.
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Biddle and his retired Philadelphia Inquirer colleague Dubin here recount Catto’s life. In brightly written, accessible, detail-packed prose, they follow Catto from birth in Charleston, SC, through his family’s move north, his schooling, and his camaraderie with the likes of black leaders such as Frederick Douglass. The captivating story illustrates the too often neglected street battles for black rights in northern cities long before the hot summers of the 1960s.

It's likely that somebody - a concerned parent, helpful friend, or maybe even a know-it-all you don't really like - has informed you of the helpful potential of kitty litter, even if you don't own a cat.
With kitty litter, drivers found stuck in snow, mud, or other pesky situations caused by inclement weather can pour some of the clay-based substance behind their wheels. In theory - and in practice, more than often - the kitty litter will help the wheels gain traction, helping boost the driver out of the predicament she's found herself in.
You shouldn't use kitty litter on any paved roadways, as it will get slippery, and even stick to hard surfaces.
Sand can be used in similar situations, or on driveways with ice coatings. Salt can be used in driveways, as well, though it's not ideal for emergency situations.

Chinese New Year Food: What to eat?
Although there are a multitude of traditions that are part of Chinese New Year, enjoying a special meal with the family is the most important element of all. Particular significance is placed on the New Year’s Eve dinner (年夜饭- Nián yèfàn) or Reunion dinner (团年饭 - tuán niánfàn) where all family members must return home. It can be seen that food is the cornerstone of these celebrations.
Chinese New Year is a festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese calendar. It traditionally takes place from the evening preceding the first day of the year to the Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the year. The first day of Chinese New Year begins on the new moon that appears between 21 January and 20 February. In 2019, the first day of the Lunar New Year will be on Tuesday, 5 February, initiating the Year of the Pig.
In Chinese, "fish" (鱼 Yú /yoo/) sounds like 'surplus'. The typical blessing is 年年有余 (Nián nián yǒuyú), wishing you to have a surplus (or fish) of food and money every year.
The fish should be the last dish left with some left over as symbolic of having surpluses every year. This is practiced north of the Yangtze River, but in other areas the head and tail of the fish shouldn't be eaten until the beginning of the year, which expresses the hope that the year will start and finish with surplus.
The position of the fish is also significant. The head should be placed toward distinguished guests or elders, representing respect. Diners can enjoy the fish only after the one who faces the fish head eats first. The fish shouldn't be moved. The two people who face the head and tail of fish should drink together, as this is considered to have a lucky meaning.
In Chinese, dumplings (饺子—jiǎo zi) sounds like 交子(jiāo zi). 交 (Jiāo) means “exchange” and 子(zi) is the midnight hours. Put together, jiāo zi is the exchange between the old and new year.
Making dumplings together at Chinese New Year is a tradition shared by almost every Chinese family around the world, but the practice has its roots in China's north, where the wheat used in the tender dumpling skins (jiaozi pi) was once a more commonplace staple than rice.
Chinese dumplings can be made to look like Chinese silver ingots and legend has it that the more dumplings you eat during the New Year celebrations, the more money you can make. When making dumplings there should be a good number of pleats as a flat junction it is thought to indicate poverty.
Spring rolls take their name from the holiday for which they're traditionally prepared: the Spring Festival (chunjie), also known as Chinese New Year. The crisp golden rolls are meant to symbolize bars of gold and bring wealth and prosperity in the year to come.
During the Jin Dynasty (circa 265-420), people would arrange spring rolls and vegetables together on a plate, known as the Spring Platter (春盘—chūn pán). Emperors would reward officials with these expensive platters during the Spring Festival.
The literal translation of changshou mian is "long-life noodles." These two-foot-long noodles make an appearance at birthdays in addition to the Chinese New Year, representing the wish for a long, happy, and healthy life. They are longer than normal noodles and uncut. Additionally you should try not to chew to preserve length of the noodle and your longevity.
In some places, it is customary to cook dumplings and noodles together. This is called "gold silk and gold ingots".
In ancient times, nian gao were used only as offerings to the ancestors and gods but gradually became a traditional dish during the Spring Festival. Legend has it that this sticky sweet snack was offered to the Kitchen God, with the aim that his mouth will be stuck with the sticky cake, so that he cannot badmouth a human family in front of the Jade Emperor.
In Chinese, glutinous rice cake sounds like it means "'getting higher year-by-year" and correlates to the phrase "nian nian gao sheng," which means "increasing prosperity year after year'. There are many variations of nian gao but the main ingredients are sticky rice, sugar, chestnuts, Chinese dates, and lotus leaves.
These sweet rice balls typically are consumed during the 15th day of the celebration, known as the Yuanxiao Festival. The pronunciation and round shape of tangyuan are associated with reunion and being together. The roundness of the rice balls signifies a complete circle of harmony and unity within the family.

Latin American studies senior Asiago Ogaisa is a big believer in karma, and rightfully so. While in Vietnam, Ogaisa ate dog, a traditional staple of the country’s diet, but just a week later, a dog bit him in Thailand.
This is just one of memorable experiences that Ogaisa, president of Students for Study Abroad, had overseas. He wishes to share his experiences with students attending International Education Week, which celebrates cultural diversity on campus.
This is one of the goals that International Education Week has for those that come to its 55 events. An overall promotion of going global and having cultural interactions will be stressed. The week is also meant to showcase how diverse a student body UT has.
In addition, the week aims to give students knowledge of the global economy.
This year’s events will range from foreign films to language sessions and even wedding traditions to appeal to the widest variety of tastes on campus.
Coordinators think students provide the relatable perspective of a young adult who has traveled abroad and seen the differences between the U.S. and other countries.
“I never realized how much influence the U.S. has on the world,” Ogaisa said.
Ogaisa hopes that his study abroad experiences will inspire others to do the same.
Ogaisa and students involved in International Education Week will attempt to open doors for students to the possibility of traveling overseas, but they’ll also show them it’s worth the risk to travel.
WHEN: Nov. 15 - 19, 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.

There was nothing to suggest that the Altamont Sunshine Community was a hotbed of crime. The brochure called it an “age-qualified estate,” and some of the residents called it home, but everyone agreed it was quiet. Moments of repose could become whole days of repose. Sometimes people went to their eternal rest, but that didn’t make noise either. People talked about other things.
A few times a day, a car might glide along the curving drive in front of the white, three-story building. Behind the landscaped shrubs and the big window of the lobby, gray-haired people sat in armchairs, looking out at anyone who might be looking in. Sometimes a curtain in one of the rows of apartment windows would move aside, and watchful eyes would take an interest in any activity, to say nothing of any suspicious activity. There were flowers and vegetables quietly growing in the community garden down the hill past the drive. They should be safe.
And yet, Hetty Forsyth feared the worst. She knew people were capable of anything. There was that new resident who always hogged the best seat in the van to town, instead of taking turns like she should. Even her friend, Alice, would pretend to put money on the collection plate during Mass, but Hetty often sat next to her and knew for a fact that sometimes she hadn’t donated anything. And then there was Jim McDermott. He smoked his damn cigars next to her vegetables and gave the tomatoes tobacco wilt.
Hetty noticed movement out on the drive, and twitched her curtains aside to check. But it was only her next door neighbor with her walker. She couldn’t be on her way to the garden. The grass would stop her.
The wall clock said it was too early for breakfast. They wouldn’t start serving for another half an hour.
She had to decide whether to go anyway, and wait with the others poised to snag a good table. It wouldn’t do her veins a bit of good if all the chairs in the hall were taken, but the alternative was to wait by herself, which always seemed to take a lot longer.
She straightened her dear departed husband’s picture on her photo shelf, and knew without having to think about it that he’d been gone twenty years and seven months now. She moved on. She wiped a speck of dust off her daughter’s wedding photo. Her son’s college graduation picture needed to be inched forward a bit, which knocked over one of the flock of grandkids. She straightened them all. They were cute little chiggers, smiling and eager. None of them looked like they were waiting for something.
She’d seen three of them just a few weeks ago, when her son had brought the tomato seedling for her garden. He’d called it a seedling, but it turned out to be a half-grown plant with a huge, gorgeous tomato already on it. Suddenly, Hetty was likely to be the first to harvest a good tomato this year. That’d show that old boaster, Jim McDermott.
She stopped herself just in time from saying You watch your manners, youngster. Her son would get uncomfortable. But she couldn’t let it pass.
Hetty decided she’d wait for breakfast in line with the others rather than by herself in her room. She headed out the door, using the handrail in the long hallway just to be on the safe side.
Hetty took her hand off the rail at once and turned around. It was Alice. Alice was no bigger than a minute and wore a brown wig. Sometimes she had the wig on straight, and sometimes she didn’t. Today was one of the skewed days. She didn’t seem to mind either way. She had what people called a cheerful disposition.
“I’m not worrying,” said Hetty. “I’m just walking. To breakfast.” Only people who were old and decrepit used canes. Didn’t Alice know that?
“My son’s kids are all coming up for Thanksgiving,” Hetty countered.
Someone in the breakfast line heard her as the two of them approached, and had to chime in. She was exhausted, she said. All three of her grandaughters had brought their new babies during the Fourth of July weekend.
The minute hand of the clock met the six at last, proving that it was seven thirty, and everyone flooded toward the tables. The staff made feeble protests that it was too early, like they always did, but they knew when they were beaten.
That was Jim, booming as usual, at the table right next to Hetty. He was almost as good as she was at snagging good tables.
“What kind of competition?” somebody at another table asked.
None of the assembled women commented on the idea of betting.
“That’s at church,” she pointed out. The man didn’t seem to understand the simplest things.
“You just want to have a competition so you can boast about the size of your tomatoes,” said Alice to Jim, grinning knowingly and putting more butter on her bread roll than was good for her.
“What, dear?” asked Alice. She was a bit deaf, and her hearing aid was in her far ear.
Jim, however, was not deaf, so Hetty couldn’t just say it again, louder. She edited on the fly.
“Well, when you know how to take care of things, they don’t go bad like that. They come out well.” Like all her children, for instance, as opposed to that good-for-nothing son of McDermott’s, the rich banker, or whatever he was, who never did more than send a card at Christmas.
Oh, yes, they have, Hetty wanted to retort, but a well-brought-up person didn’t say things like that. She sat silent and straight while she ate her ham and scrambled eggs, which said it for her.
But Jim McDermott had unsettled her. She set off for the vegetable garden after breakfast to check on things. He might have been doing more than smoking at her best plants, for all she knew. He might have been sneaking extra water on them, to make sure they did get rot and wilt. He’d seemed awfully sure of himself.
Besides, her prize tomato was only a day or two away from perfect. She’d pick it now, and let it ripen the rest of the way at home, on her window sill. That way it would be safe.
She left the nice smooth surface of the drive, and began the death-defying trek down to the garden. Other people got medals for that sort of thing; old people just carried on. Hetty did. She’d always been a determined sort. The grass was slippery and crowded with ankle-turning tufts. This would be a lot easier with a cane she admitted to herself since there was nobody around.
Everything looked okay in the garden when she stopped for a moment to study the way ahead. Everything looked okay when she picked her way down the row between her plants. But when she reached her son’s plant, the one that never failed to warm her heart, there was no big, ripe tomato on it.
There was only a stem left. It had been cut clean off.
This wasn’t a raccoon, or some wretched bird taking one peck and ruining the whole thing. This was a person. This was someone who wanted a fresh tomato and didn’t care where they got it.
There were footprints here and there, but they all looked like small ones. Jim was a big fellow who usually left tracks even on the beaten paths. There was no way to guess who might have done it. Nor could she call the police to search every room for a tomato.
She might as well face it. One more thing she cared about was gone. She could wait for the hard little green ones on the vine to grow. She could wait for Jim to stop talking about his bigger and better harvest. She could wait, as always, because there was nothing else to do, and she could try not to think too much about what she was waiting for.
She turned, and climbed the hill, stopping for breath now and again.

Computing power is commonly measured in flops, currently the most powerful computers in Europe are at the petascale level (1015 flops). Five experts shared their views on the need for exascale computing capabilities for science and industry and expressed how important it is for Europe to be a leader in achieving this challenge.
Our first speaker Jean-Yves BERTHOU from ANR, France presented an overview of the challenge: exascale means computing at a level 1000 times more than the top computers today, meaning the capability to manage both big data (extabytes) and extreme computing (exaflops). The main stakeholders and user community would be: climate scientists, astrophysicists, medical and bio-researches working in genomics, but it is not only scientists that will benefit. He argues there would be great gains in European industrial applications; a direct example given is the aerospace industry. One important message in the discussion was as we work towards the exascale level, we will need to develop new software and application paradigms, new supporting technologies for memory management, energy efficiency, and cooling, all of these being grand research challenges.
Michael RESCH - the second panellist from HLRS Stuttgart, Germany - gave specific examples of problems that would require an exascale infrastructure: “How do I best treat a broken leg”, “What is the best personalized drug therapy to treat my specific condition”, “What will happen to the climate in the future for different CO2 emission scenarios?” All these problems are not purely research driven, they have direct consequences in the economy, politics, and societal health. He made the analogy between his trip from Stuttgart to Vilnius by metro, air plane and taxi, and the different level of infrastructures needed to support scientific projects. He advocated for policy makers to establish general rules in High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure.
The next speaker - Catherine RIVIERE from GENCI, France, highlighted that suppliers of HPC cycles should listen more what user needs, not to just seek the idea of HPC. The roadmap of the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) for the exascale is built in 3 phases. After development activities of the system including the challenges related to the integration of multi-petaflop systems, comes the optimization of software to higher performance and collaboration between the developers and users of large systems, in order to optimise applications. Catherine also highlighted that the emergence of the exascale will make possible the resolution of complex problems which are currently impossible to solve with a reasonable time to solution. It will for instance be possible to propose customised health treatments based on the analysis of the patient's genome and targeting the drug specifically for this.
in future neuroscience, future medicine and future computing. However, these benefits can’t be achieved without a powerful computing infrastructure.
Maryline LENGERT from the European Space Agency, Italy presented a complementary viewpoint of computational power through the development of the pan-European cloud computing infrastructure Helix Nebula. It is a new, pioneering partnership between big science and big business in Europe that is charting the course towards the sustainable provision of cloud computing - the Science Cloud. The partnership brings together leading IT providers and three of Europe’s leading research centres, CERN, EMBL and ESA in order to provide computing capacity and services that elastically meet big science’s growing demand for computing power. Of course it’s not limited only to science. This is really big opportunity for public and IT sector to work closely. Maryline had an interesting example about earthquake modelling for whole earth using Helix Nebula system, facilitating the co-operation with the civil engineering HPC communities who through simple changes in infrastructure in poor countries could delay the time of collapse, thus savings people's lives.
The audience raised questions about the funding of HPC and business model of it. What are the commonalities of challenges between communities using the cloud and those using HPC? What effort do we need to sustain the development of the applications and the change of the mathematical models? There was also a discussion about the number of the exascale machines to be hosted in the EU and the way they will be used.
