You can dwell on the necessity or lack of it to guide essay-writing. In 2010, there were almost fifty million people 16. Simply go to our to get your problems solved! Highly complex issues should fit the students with a great standard of reasoning. At least not as easy as it was in middle school- see. It also generates controversy to what extent you can joke about certain issues of sensitivity, such as terrorist attacks, diseases, religions or figures considered authoritative. Finally, try combining all those three things into one topic that you feel passionate about. You may have to step in if one or two students are being bullied by opposing opinions.
What advantages or disadvantages could it have? Argumentative writings is a specific type of a paper. Computer hacking Illegal downloads of content on the Internet are a widespread and standardized crime in our society, but they are still a violation of copyright. Should opinions written on social networks be punished? In fact, I would argue that it should be left up so that it can be discussed and hopefully resolved. It is a common belief that Americans generally oppose the entrance of foreign nationals to their country. These are some issues that can be discussed.
A controversial involves picking up a topic that is controversial in nature and it has to be one that either stands the test of time or belongs to the current world we live in. Your discursive essay should stress the idea that they are helpless when it comes to real dangers. Most students often ask whether there is a difference between argumentative essay vs persuasive essay. After graduating from debating some of the topics in the , college students should be prepared to debate topics that are a little meatier. As such, it is your responsibility to present both sides of the issue no matter where your opinions lie. Such dire numbers make one question the effectiveness of correctional procedures in the United States, a country that jails more people than any other and sentences more prisoners to death than any other but China. Nevertheless, currently it has bent more towards the darker side.
Legalization of drugs The use of psychoactive substances or drugs is already a subject of debate in itself, due to the effects it has for the health of the person who consumes as well as the serious addictions they produce. Do not forget to prepare your personal speech or buy one from a reliable. German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, French, Arabic, Dutch, etc. Writing a controversial essay is an interesting task that requires great research work from you. But also, it is a creative task, which enables the development of thinking. Be Spying on Its Friends? But most students usually come up with a few arguments and these arguments rarely relate to the opposing parties points. Still questioning whether you can write a great persuasive or argumentative essay? Build your paper on evidence from legislation.
Some of the issues to discuss may be whether they actually encourage violence, what their use in the home should be, or what benefits they may have. One of them may be the legislation that exists on the subject and the punishments that should be imposed on those who mistreat an animal. In simple terms any essay topic on which strong debates can be held for long hours thereby creating certain kind of controversies are mainly regarded as highly controversial essays. They will have some points against your position and you have to be ready for this. First, you will need to take a firm stand. But to make sweeping generalizations and say that Americans themselves are particularly hostile to or even distrustful of other people is a mostly groundless notion.
Apart from its murder rate, if there is one thing that separates the United States from all other industrialized countries is its lack of universal healthcare. Subrogation can put at risk the health of many mothers, especially those of the poorest sectors of the population, who could see in this practice a way to get rich. On the other hand: Americans still largely favor Bud Light and Miller Lite when purchasing beer. In that poll, only Germany surpassed the U. The debates are discussions between two or more people on the same subject, in which each party exposes and argues their ideas and opinions to defend their point of view. Numerous innocent lives are lost in the process, and at the end, the negative outcomes outweigh any positive results. You are a real expert when it comes to persuasive essay topics.
They will be sure to offer their own opinions, perhaps vehemently, and you should not pressure them with discussion as an entire class. You can create a speech around a topic based on your stand. Or, browse our blog for more options and topics lists. Transgenic foods The alteration of food by genetic techniques is widespread in the food industry. Should adults have the right to carry a concealed handgun? Some people might think that the good content may be written on any topic and the paper success depends only on the mastery of the writer. Can religious belief make you happy? Expressing one's views through speech or writing on certain topics can even invite legal proceedings or public abuse.
Remember that no opinions can be absolutely correct or wrong for this type of debatable themes. The access to such property should be limited. The right to a dignified death in certain irreversible circumstances, as is the case of some degenerative diseases or that cause suffering, is a right for which many people struggle and still generates a lot of controversy. Choosing topics can be hard. While writing an essay on such topics, it is essential to be reasonable without any biased thoughts.
Surrogate motherhood Surrogacy or motherhood is another topic of recent interest that has generated much debate. We all have the right to believe what we want and to profess that belief. Debatable topics are almost found in each and every types of essays:- may it be Coherence Essays or Descriptive Essays or Biographical Essays or Narrative Essays or Reflective Essays or Idiomatic Essays. But what if the child is of a different ethic heritage to his or her adoptive parents? Genetic Cloning At one time the cloning of a human being was the stuff of fiction movies; that was until 1996 when became the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. On the other hand: poverty is invariably measured by national standards, so it is difficult to compare poverty rates across countries.
Is it a good idea? If you are , you may be surprised at the experience your students may already have with a given issue. In high school, individuals are at an age group where they are starting to grasp and understand the concepts of politics, society, and how the world works. Controversy: The United States — a force of good or a force of evil? Illegal immigration Illegal immigration is another issue that generates controversial opinions. We offer you the most attractive controversial topics that you might have not heard of. This is because, by nature, the United States is a controversial country, one that most people seem to either strongly like or strongly dislike something we will address very soon. Of course racism is going to be a big part of controversial issues. Gender violence Gender-based violence is another topic to be discussed that can be addressed from different points of view, from discussing what attitudes are considered gender-based violence to discussing how to avoid society.

Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. The country is officially bilingual at the federal level. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations.
Canada is a developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world, with the eighth highest per capita income globally. It ranks among the highest in international measurements of education, government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, and economic freedom.
Average winter and summer high temperatures across Canada vary from region to region. Winters can be harsh in many parts of the country, particularly in the interior and Prairie provinces, which experience a continental climate, where daily average temperatures are near -15 °C (5 °F), but can drop below -40 °C (-40 °F) with severe wind chills.
In noncoastal regions, snow can cover the ground for almost six months of the year, while in parts of the north snow can persist year-round.
Canada occupies a major northern portion of North America, sharing land borders with the contiguous United States to the south (the longest border between two countries in the world) and the US state of Alaska to the northwest.
The 2011 Canadian census counted a total population of 33,476,688, an increase of around 5.9 percent over the 2006 figure. By December 2012, Statistics Canada reported a population of over 35 million, signifying the fastest growth rate of any G8 nation.
The main drivers of population growth are immigration and, to a lesser extent, natural growth.
Canadian provinces and territories are responsible for education. According to a 2012 NBC report, Canada is the most educated country in the world. The universities of Canada are among some of the top universities in the world; the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia, the University of Alberta and McGill University are all ranked in the global top 50 in the 2013 QS World University Rankings, with university of Toronto ranked seventeenth.
The total numbers of universities in Canada are more than a few 100. This includes one of the world's best institutions. Canada has had a total of 23 Nobel Prize winners to-date, with few of the recent winners Alice Munro (Literature, 2013), Ralph M. Steinman (Physiology or Medicine, 2011) and Willard S. Boyle (Physics, 2009).
• The United Nations ranked Canada as the best place in the world to live! This assessment was based upon Canada's achievements in terms of educational attainment, life expectancy, national income and general quality of life.
• Canada's education system is excellent and ranks among the best in the world. Moreover Canadian tuition fees are among the lowest in English-speaking countries.
• Since research is one of the key components of a Canadian post-secondary education, you'll have ample opportunity to become a part of this vibrant aspect of education. In Canada, government and industry together support research including: telecommunications, medicine, agriculture, computer technology, and environmental science.
• International students who have graduated from a Canadian University or college have the opportunity to work in Canada after they receive their degree or diploma.
• Canada is a bilingual country and is considered a world leader in language training. Since teaching French and English as a first and second language is an integral part of a Canadian higher education, you will be able to improve your fluency and capacity for either language as you further your studies.
• Canada is home to a large number of aboriginal people, called First Nations. Over the past century and a half, Canada has welcomed 15 million immigrants.


text: International comparisons were conducted of preschool children's behavioral and emotional problems as reported on the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1½-5 by parents in 24 societies (N = 19,850). Item ratings were aggregated into scores on syndromes; Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-oriented scales; a Stress Problems scale; and Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems scales. Effect sizes for scale score differences among the 24 societies ranged from small to medium (3-12%). Although societies differed greatly in language, culture, and other characteristics, Total Problems scores for 18 of the 24 societies were within 7.1 points of the omnicultural mean of 33.3 (on a scale of 0-198). Gender and age differences, as well as gender and age interactions with society, were all very small (effect sizes < 1%). Across all pairs of societies, correlations between mean item ratings averaged .78, and correlations between internal consistency alphas for the scales averaged .92, indicating that the rank orders of mean item ratings and internal consistencies of scales were very similar across diverse societies.

The previous releases did not define any separation for the Eclipse runtime classpath. This meant that when a user launched a Java application or executed a test via JDT then all dependencies from all configurations were available on the classpath.
This release introduces runtime classpath separation based on the dependency scope information supplied by Gradle. If the project uses Gradle 4.4 or newer then all source directories and binary dependencies define which scope (main, test, integTest, etc.) they belong. Buildship then filters elements from the runtime classpath if the launched application is associated with a different scope.
Note, that Buildship still has to use Eclipse’s default flat classpath approach, so this feature can only filter unwanted dependencies based on the dependency scopes.
This feature is especially useful for the Spring Tool Suite users. In Spring Boot it is common practice to keep the application configuration in the main sources and override it with a similar one in the test sources. Before Buildship 2.2 when the main application was launched from the IDE, the test configuration was still picked up, making the IDE unusable in this use-case. With this new feature, launching a Spring Boot app from the command line and from Eclipse produces consistent results.
Eclipse can be configured to automatically execute Gradle project synchronization when a build script changes. The feature can be enabled in the import wizard or in the workspace and project preferences.
To follow the platform recommendations, the expand and collapse actions on the view toolbars have been updated to work on the entire tree and not just on the selected elements. Moreover, double-clicking on non-leaf tree items expands-collapses the subtree.
Buildship now also works if the host Eclipse is running on Java 9. We updated the incompatible dependencies and added checks into our build infrastructure to verify that everything works with the latest Java release.
We would like to thank the following community members for making contributions to this release.
Christofer Moine Syntax highlighting for Gradle script files (eclipse/buildship#585).
There are no security issues associated with this release.
Buildship will be developed and maintained in the foreseeable future.
We have an active community on GitHub and on the Gradle forum.

At Campsbourne School we teach Spanish in Key Stage 2 as part of the normal school curriculum.
We use a variety of techniques to encourage the children to have an active engagement in modern foreign languages. These include games, role plays and songs (particularly action songs). We frequently use mime to accompany new vocabulary without the need for translation, emphasising listening and speaking skills over reading and writing. We aim to make lessons as entertaining as possible, and realise that this approach supports the development of positive attitudes in the children when learning modern foreign languages. We aim to build children’s confidence through constant praise for any contribution they make in a foreign language, however tentative.

What it will do however, is teach you the basics in a simple, fun, easy-to-understand format. The app is great because it allows you to step up a level as you go, so the more you learn, the harder the words and phrases become.
For many years now, Kayak has been the number one choice for people planning trips abroad. Kayak is perfect because it utilizes a vast and diverse database to search for hotels, hire cars, accommodation, flights, and much more besides. As the app is so popular and so widely utilized, users can enjoy exclusive deals and offers that are not available elsewhere.
The app allows users to set alerts for price drops and increases, special offers, and more. You can even use the app to predict whether it is best to purchase tickets now, or in the future when a price reduction would be likely. Basically, Kayak lets you take care of all of the important stuff needed for a holiday, while getting the best possible prices and deals in the process.
This app is simple but still a whole lot of fun. It’s basically a flight tracking app designed to provide the latest info on airports, flights, weather conditions, and much more besides. It even helps you to break down and categorise the time needed at the airport, condensing your flight into four stages - check in, boarding, taking off, and landing.
The app is free and can be integrated with another app known as Tripit, allowing users to import info from their flights. It’s especially cool as you can see where in the world you are, and where you have been whilst flying.
Airbnb is a name that is now synonymous with travel. For those of you looking for accommodation, without having to spend a small fortune in the process, be sure to download the Airbnb app to your smart device. The app offers the most competitive prices for a whole range of different accommodation.
Whether you want to stay in a moderately-priced hotel, a self-catering apartment, or even somebody’s spare bedroom, Airbnb has you covered. Best of all is the fact that the app has a new feature known as ‘trips’ which enables users to search for, and organize, various trips and excursions for their holiday. There are plans to expand functionality further and it will soon enable users to plan every single aspect of their holiday, from this one app.
Finally, the last essential app is Google Translate. For those of you travelling to a foreign land, this is the app that will help make getting around a whole lot easier. Say for example, there is a parking sign on the wall that you cannot understand, simply take out your phone, open the app, point the camera at the text and the app will translate it into your language in a matter of seconds.
This is especially useful when ordering food from foreign menus, as it means that you’re less-likely to order the wrong thing by mistake. We know that deep-fried tarantulas are a delicacy in some parts of the world, but we also know that there are plenty of people out there who would not be impressed if they ordered it in error from the menu.
That just about covers it for now. So make your next trip a breeze and before buying your travel insurance and jetting off into the sunset, download these apps and don’t forget to pack your charger. Lastly, stay travel aware with essential advice and tips from the FCO.

in other words its a way to encode the source code that would not be easy to decode. there is a famous free tool called .NET reflector which give the possibility to open compiled DLL or even EXE files of .NET project and see the source code.
to avoid this we have to obfuscate the source code.

Students will be taught that the Bible is the ultimate and final authority in all decisions. Biblical principles will be integrated into every subject for the purpose of training students to develop a biblical worldview. Students will learn how to use this worldview as a lens through which to interpret events, set goals, and gain wisdom.
Students will be taught to pursue excellence in every aspect of their lives. Realizing that every work is to be an act of love and service to the Lord, mediocrity in attitude, work, or effort will not be accepted. This spirit of excellence will be seen in the students’ relationships, use of resources, and acts of service, thereby developing a lifelong pattern of excellence.
Students will be taught the importance of serving others. Just as God values all life, regardless of ethnicity, abilities, or age, so the students will learn to value all humanity as a gift from our loving heavenly Father. This attitude will be developed through learning effective and loving communication and by actively serving others.
Students will be taught that people are created for the purpose of bringing glory and honor to God, that salvation through the blood of our risen Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to obtain eternal life, and that the message of salvation must be brought to a lost and dying world. Students will learn by example how to effectively communicate that message and to defend their faith in the world in which they live.
Students will be taught by example how to live a consistent Christian life, both on campus and off, showing integrity in all areas of their lives.

Did you miss BEA? NetGalley to the rescue!
Last week the publishing world convened in New York for BookExpo America—the largest book trade fair in the U.S. BEA is an annual event that gives publishers an opportunity to launch their biggest upcoming titles and meet with colleagues across the publishing industry. NetGalley attends BEA to connect face-to-face with our members and publisher clients to share information about new features on the site and reminders about how to get the most out of your NetGalley account.
This year our Concierge Team met with over 50 publishers to help them better connect with readers on NetGalley. From independent presses and authors to the Big 5, we had fun hearing which books they’re most excited about, and gave them lots of ideas for utilizing NetGalley in their campaigns. We encouraged them to customize their new Publisher Profiles—readers, go ahead and “favorite” the ones you love!
Tarah, your Reader Concierge, also met with many NetGalley members. During these meetings members had the opportunity to ask questions about using their accounts, how they can utilize their account best for their specific member type and previewing needs, and also a quick profile review to make sure they have the best possible chance of being approved by publisher for titles.
These meetings also focused on the NetGalley Wellness Challenge theme: “Do you book talk?” Tarah shared information about what publishers are looking for when you submit Feedback, so they can see how NetGalley members are building buzz to help launch new books. Learn our tips by participating in our Wellness Challenge—if you haven’t signed the Pledge, there’s still time! Pledge to submit meaningful feedback for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to the book retailer of your choice.
Don’t miss next week’s Wellness Challenge Webinar (click to register), where Tarah will review the basics of leaving feedback, what types of feedback are the most valuable, and common themes she came across during her meetings with readers.

Check out our BookExpo America Wrap-Up where we roundup titles hand-picked by our publishers because they don’t want you to miss them.

The London International Book Fair is one of the key events in the literary world; the whole world converging on Earls Court in the South West of the capital to sell rights, seal reputations and look into the future of publishing and books. Naturally, NetGalley was there to meet members and clients both – as well as get the inside track on what’s new.
The NetGalley stand was right at the heart of the Digital Zone – once a niche area within the vast aircraft hangar space of Earls Court, but now probably the most vibrant, diverse and popular destination at the fair. Situated next to the AuthorZone lecture theatre – co-sponsored by NetGalley publisher Troubador – we were lucky to hear a series of fascinating discussions and talks about how writers can thrive in the digital age. Many independent publishers and authors stopped off to speak with us on their way back from the stage – which was hugely interesting.
Among the personal highlights were catching up with new and old publishers and members of NetGalley. We especially enjoyed meeting Georgia and Samuel from www.readgig.com – and you can check out their blog about the fair here. Most excitingly of all was the news that several UK publishers confirmed at the fair that they will soon be joining NetGalley. We can’t tell you who they are yet, but we’ll be sure to announce it just as soon as we can!
Next month it’s the turn of New York to play host to the literary world at Book Expo America. Please do stop by Booth #DZ1774 and say hello to Kristina, Susan, Lindsey and Tarah!
If you’re a blogger attending BEA or the Book Bloggers Conference, don’t miss out out on the NetGalley Wellness Challenge!
If you’ll be in NYC for BookExpo America, we want to meet you! NetGalley will be attending the BEA Bloggers Conference on Wednesday, May 29th, as well as the rest of the annual BookExpo America tradeshow through June 1st. Read on for full details, including how you can sign up for a face-to-face meeting with me, your Reader Concierge! We can’t wait to see you.
Register to attend BEA Bloggers Conference to learn, be inspired, and connect with book bloggers, authors, and publishing industry professionals. You will benefit from a jam-packed day of education, extreme networking, and the passion and fun that surrounds book blogging.
Last year’s BEA Bloggers Conference was a huge success with over 400 attendees, and the BEA team is eager to build on this success! BEA Bloggers Conference will once again take place the day before BEA, Wednesday, May 29th (the BEA exhibit floor opens on Thursday, May 30th). Will Schwalbe will be the Opening Keynote speaker at 9:15am, and Randi Zuckerberg will be the Closing Keynote speaking at 4:00pm. The conference will also feature other notable panelists over the course of the day.

BONUS STOP! There is a lot more to learn about East Texas barbecue and likely many more places I could visit, but unfortunately some weren't open and others were just too far off my course.
However, I did hear about a husband and wife who are both pitmasters, so I decided to give them a visit. Adams Rib is a joint in Lakeport, TX (they have a second location in Longview like any smart husband wife team should...) that is putting out some solid flavors. Both Rickey and Laura are pretty much lifers when it comes to barbecue and it's a family affair there. I met two of their kids, Bo and Katherine, and they sure seemed into it too.
They just recently started serving beef ribs and I got one to try and I enjoyed it a lot...nice peppery crust. The other highlights for me were the pork ribs, banana pudding and Katherine's "oh so good," made from scratch fried pies (I chose blackberry)!
Love that peppery crust on the beef ribs!

As we’re quickly approaching the end of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we at The Center for Natural Breast Reconstruction want to express our gratitude for the many ways people brought awareness to breast cancer this month.
Just because National Breast Cancer Awareness Month ends soon doesn’t mean we should stop raising awareness and helping those that are currently facing cancer.
That’s why we’d like to share a few of our favorite cancer support programs.
All of these programs are designed to assist individual people and families that are battling cancer of any kind.
Thanks to the fundraisers and events that go on during this month (as well as other cancer awareness months), these organizations can provide ongoing support to those in need.
If you have cancer, or know someone who does, we encourage you to check out and share these programs.
The Road To Recovery program was created to give cancer patients access to transportation to and from treatment for people with cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves.
This program is made up of volunteers that generously donate their time to help those in need.
Finding out you have cancer can be overwhelming. Especially when you don’t have a solid network of friends and family to support you.
The Reach to Recovery® Program is made up of volunteer breast cancer survivors who give patients and/or family members an opportunity to express feelings, talk about fears and concerns, and ask questions of someone who has been there.
Facing cancer is hard enough without having to travel across the country for treatments. Yet, many cancer patients have to travel numerous times to get access to the treatments they need.
Each Hope Lodge location offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay during treatment in a city they have to travel to. Not having to worry about where to stay or how to pay for lodging allows guests to focus on getting well.
Having a support system outside of your friends and family is important when battling cancer. Especially when you can find a support group of people who have had the same cancer battle you are currently going though.
The cancer support community will get you hooked up with all of the resources, contacts, and support groups you need to make sure you are supported as you battle cancer.
Do you have a favorite cancer support program?

Well people, I did it, I took the plunge! Well, not the plunge. The pre-plunge plunge, I guess. What I’m trying to say is that this gentleman is now engaged! That’s right friends, I am well on my way to becoming Mrs. Mike Delamont – that’s how that works right?
It’s over ladies. This fine hunk of West Coast prime beef is off the market. And by “fine hunk of West Coast prime beef” I mean a man whose entire body looks like you shoved an adult size bean bag chair into a pair of beige pantyhose and then gave it a hair cut a la the Nazi youth.
Nobody tells you the stressful parts of getting engaged. Nobody! Asking a father’s permission is the same feeling as that moment you hit black ice on a highway. Once it begins it’s out of your hands and all you can do is steer into it and hope it doesn’t kill you. I had hopes it would be like a Hallmark card and that when I asked, one lone, manly tear would fall from his eyes so full of wisdom and experience. … Perhaps, looking back on it, I shouldn’t have asked him during a hockey game. Maybe then I wouldn’t have gotten the stressful dollar-store-card response of “Let me think about it.” Honestly I was surprised I even got that. Would you want your daughter to marry a Scottish drag queen? It takes a lot of explaining. To his credit, the next morning he gave me his blessing in an awkward and heartfelt speech that only a quiet and lovely man of so few words can do.
Next comes buying the ring. Did you know that the average Canadian man spends $5,800 on a ring? Neither did I. More importantly though, how do you know what size to get? A website told me that I should grab one of her rings and get it sized but she doesn’t wear rings. Do you know how uncomfortable it is for a man to buy a woman anything that has a size? It’s terrifying! If we buy her something too small she might feel fat and if we buy her something too big, it might mean that’s how we think she looks. We have no clue. We are monkeys in shoes leading the blind. We don’t know how to buy anything for a lady. Next time you’re at a drug store, take a look down the tampon aisle and look at the faces of the poor men sent there, coupon in hand having no idea what gentle flow means but assuming it has something to do with gas but are too embarrassed to ask.
At the end of the day, it turns out that none of this crap even matters. The dad says yes if you aren’t a douche canoe and, in my case, she didn’t even look at the ring when I asked because she started to happy cry. It’s amazing how much time we spend worrying for nothing. Until now all of my relationships have been the same. They all started with “Oh my God! You are SO funny” and ended with “Not EVERYTHING has to be a joke you know.” So was it worth the stress? It was. Would I do it again if I could? I would. Did the ring fit? It didn’t. Do I enjoy having my own personal memory of the moment I got on one knee and asked a beautiful girl to marry me? ... I do.

On November 21, 1991, employees of the State of Alabama filed this case against numerous state agencies and departments, claiming racial discrimination in hiring, discipline, layoffs and other terms and conditions of employment. This was the first of many similar complaints to be filed in subsequent years against various Alabama State boards and departments, including the Department of Public Health and the Alabama Labor Board. Multiple amended versions were filed for each complaint. Beginning on March 8, 1994, various motions to dismiss were filed by the defendants to dismiss the claims listed in the complaints, including a claim of sovereign immunity.
On March 24, 1994, U.S. District Court Judge Myron H. Thompson ordered consolidation of all these cases and proceeded under the new civil action 94-T-356-N, and thus transferred everything from the past cases into a single jurisdiction. The plaintiffs then filed an all-encompassing amended complaint on May 2, 1994 under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 against the government in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. Later, charges under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. were added to the case.
On September 15, 1994, the plaintiffs filed motions to certify both a defendant class of all agencies and departments of Alabama, and a plaintiff class consisting of all African-Americans who applied for employment opportunities with the State of Alabama, or would have applied for such opportunities in the absence of the racial discrimination challenged in defendant's selection procedure. After discovery and extensive litigation, Judge Thompson issued an order on June 21, 2001 denying both motions, however did so with leave to be renewed at the appropriate time in accordance with set scheduling orders.
On March 17, 2003, the plaintiffs again filed motions for certification of both a plaintiff class and a defendant class. On December 27, 2004, the defendant filed motion for summary judgment, which was denied by Judge Thompson on May 3, 2005. On March 24, 2006, the defendant filed a motion for a ruling on the class certification claims of 2003.
Starting on May 2, 2007, Judge Thompson granted multiple motions to intervene that were filed throughout the 15-year litigation period. In doing so, Judge Thompson converted any related complaints-in-intervention to separate lawsuits. At this point, nearly all the attorneys filed individual motions to withdraw, and all such motions were granted. This lasted through the year 2009. On November 30, 2009, Judge Thompson denied class certification, turning this case into a single plaintiff action. The Clearinghouse will therefore no longer follow it.
Plaintiff Description Class certification denied. Attempted class was: all African-Americans who applied for employment opportunities with the State of Alabama, or would have applied for such opportunities in the absence of the racial discrimination challenged in defendant’s selection procedure.

The UK’s first social investment bank has launched a free support package to help charities and social enterprises understand and make use of Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR).
SITR was introduced in the UK last year and is designed to encourage individuals to invest in charities and social enterprises by providing them with a reduction of 30% of qualifying investments in their income tax bill for that year. The maximum investment into an organisation that an individual can make using SITR is currently £270,000 over three years.
GET IT is a free support package that has been launched today by Big Society Capital to provide social sector organisations access to education and expert advice on the tax break.
CEO of Big Society Capital Nick O’Donohoe said: “Over the last year, we have a seen a number of charities and social enterprises use SITR to scale up their activities and increase their impact.
In the past 12 months four organisations have used SITR to raise investment and support their activities including supporter-owned football club FC United of Manchester. The club raised £270,000 using SITR to build a new 5,000 capacity stadium and set up community facilities in Moston, North Manchester, one of the most deprived areas of the UK.
Another of the organisations to make use of SITR is Bristol-based charity FareShare South West, which works with the food industry to minimise in-date food going to waste. It raised £70,000 to expand its catering arm supplying food to more than 130 community organisations and offer work experience for vulnerable individuals excluded from the job market.
To find out more about GET IT and to access the SITR support package, click here.
Since taking on social investment, FareShare is gutsier than ever as it approaches the challenge of salvaging the 400,000 tonnes of food wasted in the UK food industry.
Food waste charity FareShare South West recieves £70,000 through pilot social investment tax relief fund set up to trial innovative methods and stuctures that will help tackle Bristol's social and environmental issues.
The chancellor George Osborne plans to raise threshold for eligible investments in social enterprises to £5m a year under social investment tax relief.

1) A heating blanket. I call it my most prized possession and I love it dearly. I put it on my back and on my belly, on my neck and on my cold cold feet (It can be 90 degrees outside and I have cold feet). Heating blankets don’t have to be expensive either- mine was $20 at target. I am very attached to it for another reason: When Lee and I were still dating and only seeing each other on the weekend, I’d always have my little heating blanket in my overnight bag. One day, he told me to not always bring it with me, he had bought me one for his place. This little pragmatic gesture was one of the most romantic moments in my life. But away from the verklempte stories- invest in a heating blanket.
5) Pain Medications: You know your body best, and that means that you need to figure out pain management, because dealing with it when you cross that bridge won’t work. To me though, it is necessary to know that if I need it, I have the appropriate pain killers available.

NEW DELHI: After the disastrous meltdown of the dotcom boom followed by the economic slowdown, India’s sunrise BPO industry was starved of funds. Although it was the VCs who triggered the growth of the sector in the first place, there was a lull in funding pattern as VCs became more cautious with their investments. The mad rush in the BPO sector did not help as VCs played the wait and watch game for emergence of winners. Finally a few invested and even exited like ChrysCapital in Spectramind and TransWork.
As money trickled in, some BPO companies had to wind operations waiting for the funds that never happened. Things started looking up in July 2003 which saw a number of investments with Westbridge Capital leading a $ five million financing in Indecomm Global Services. Bangalore based 24×7 managed to rake in $22 million fund from Sequoia Capital, while Satyam Computers BPO initiative Nipuna raised $20 million from Intel. A little earlier, Talisma had managed to raise $ five million from Oak Investments, while Worldzen raked in $ four million from the Carlyle Group in February this year.
So what is it that changed suddenly? Why are VC finding the sector attractive now? Cyber News Service asked a few investors about the sudden activity in the sector.
Infinity Technology Investments’ Saurabh Srivastava reiterated that BPO is a hot destination for VCs today. “Any sector that experiences growth in 70 percent-80 percent range is a sector worth investing and BPO falls in that category,” he added. Infinity Technology Funds had invested a couple of millions in Mumbai-based call center Epicenter Technologies two years ago. Srivastava said that Infinity does not believe in a hands-on approach but more of a mentoring style in the investing companies.
Gopal Jain of View Group echoed the same sentiment. “We are focused on the services sector and BPO is a key sector for us. There has been a renewal of investment appetite in the private equity industry,” he said. View Group has invested in TracMail, IMG, India Life Hewitt, and Ingenero.
ChrysCapital, which has made considerable investments in technology, BPO pharma and finance companies, said that the BPO sector is upbeat now. It was one of the few VCs to have invested early in the sector and perhaps the only VC to have made decent money when it exited from Spectramind. It has now invested in three other BPO companies namely GlobalVantage, FNA and TechTeam. Typically, ChrysCapital has a holding period of four-seven years although in the case of Spectramind the exit was much earlier. Exit could be through a strategic sale or public offering.
According to Gulpreet Kohli of ChrysCapital, although BPO sector may be divided into pure-play, those foraying from IT services and niche players, there is no way of saying which category of players would do well in BPO. Companies must have their fundamentals correct like ability to scale, customer traction, profitability, etc in order to succeed.
Head of Acer Technology Venture Fund, Samir Kumar, said that from a VC’s point of view, BPO is a good sector to invest. But he cautioned that there has been a lot of commoditization in the voice-based call centers and VCs are not likely to invest unless the company operates in a niche area. However, there is a lot of traction in back-office operations and these companies are likely to see more inflow of funds.
Acer Technology recently funded Indecom Global Services along with WestBridge Capital and has also invested in RelQ, which is a software validation and verification company. Other than this, the company has invested in a number of technology and software companies and is in the process of evaluating another two-three companies including a BPO company, which would be finalized within this year.
Speaking of exit options, VCs said that they would be looking for an exit option in the next three— five year’s time frame either through an IPO or through a merger with a bigger company. Since most of these are fresh investment none of the VCs could speak of a definitive exit route although there were strong indications that merger with bigger companies is a more likely route to emerge in future.
On being asked about the fundamentals, they look for when investing in companies, they pointed out that a strong management team who has already delivered, profitability of the company, demonstration of an ability to scale, operating in some niche area or conversely large target market, its list of existing customers, etc. are important areas that they look into.

Constitution Day is celebrated in India every year on November 26. This is not a public holiday, but it's a widespread celebration across the country.
The current constitution of India was drafted after declaration of independence of India from the United Kingdom. The drafting committee was working for two years, starting from the mid of 1947. Finally, the constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949. It came into force only on January 26, 1950.
The Constitution of India is a unique document. The thing is that it's the longest written document of any sovereign country in the world. And it also took 2 years, 11 months and 17 days to pass the document. The Constitution of India is written in two languages: the original was drafted in English, and after its adoption the translation to Hindi was also made. Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was responsible for the translation, and he's widely regarded as the father of the Constitution of India.
Indians honor their constitution, that is why they celebrate the anniversary of its adoption. Although celebration of this day isn’t established on the national level, local authorities and volunteers organize festivals, parades, marches, meetings, competitions etc to celebrate the event.

50 years ago today, on Friday 7th March 1969, the Victoria line was officially opened. It had been running along a shorter stretch of line from Walthamstow Central to Warren Street since December 1968, but this was the day it finally reached Victoria. It was also the day the Queen opened it, naming it after her great-great-grandmother and going for a ride. Getting the Victoria line built proved a financial and engineering struggle, but taking the modern approach proved a blinding success and today London'd be lost without it.
A (very) quick history: Plans to link Victoria and Finsbury Park by tube first emerged in 1937, identifying a need to link mainline stations and provide an alternative to the busy Piccadilly and Northern lines. It took years to settle what the northern terminus of the line should be, with early suggestions including Chingford, Enfield, Cuffley and Waltham Cross, while possible southern destinations included Morden and Croydon. Lack of funding cut back these more adventurous schemes to a Walthamstow-Victoria core, which was tabled in Parliament in 1954 and finally got the go-ahead in 1962. A southbound extension to Brixton was agreed in 1965, and fully completed in 1972. To read more than four sentences on this subject, try here, here or here.
Victoria line trivia 1: The 'Victoria' name was chosen in 1955, before which the line was known as Route C. Other suggestions were Walvic (Walthamstow–Victoria), Viking (Victoria–King's Cross), Mayfair and West End.
Victoria line trivia 2: A key part of the scheme was to provide easy interchange along the entire route, hence every station but one is served by either National Rail or another Underground line.
Victoria line trivia 3: The laid-back grey and light blue colour scheme was devised by a consultancy firm called The Design Research Unit, whose view was that dynamism would be provided by the people and adverts.
Victoria line trivia 4: The entire line is underground, apart from the staff-only connection to the depot at Northumberland Park.
Victoria line trivia 5: Victoria line tunnels are a bit bigger than their Edwardian counterparts, allowing Victoria line trains to be 4cm wider than those on the Piccadilly, Northern, Jubilee, Bakerloo or Central.
Victoria line trivia 6: The latest Victoria line trains seat 324, and have an official passenger capacity of 864.
Victoria line trivia 7: Although not the busiest tube line, the Victoria line is by far the most intensively used.
Victoria line trivia 8: Trains now run just 100 seconds apart at peak times - that's 36 trains per hour. Daytime frequencies are generally 26tph, but 30tph on Saturday afternoons.
Victoria line trivia 9: Across the tube network, only the Waterloo & City line is shorter.
Victoria line trivia 10: If you fancy 1hr 40 minutes of Victoria line construction documentaries, this link will keep you occupied.
Tile pattern: Showing minimum imagination, but maximum artistry, the silhouette of Queen Victoria was designed by Edward Bawden.
Nearby development: A mighty amount of redevelopment has taken place around Victoria this century, starting off with Cardinal Place and continuing with Nova, Verde and other shiny spiky office behemoths. Even now the area still resembles a building site, the big hole beside the Victoria Palace Theatre a case in point, and every time I'm forced to dodge across the bus station I wonder if it'll ever be finished.
Station development: The first underground station served the District Railway and opened on Victoria Street. For the next 100 years there was no direct connection to central London, which proved increasingly awkward. For the opening of the Victoria line a new subterranean ticket hall was opened between the District line station and the mainline station, with escalators down to the platforms. The 43m foot tunnel connecting the two ticket halls is a 1990s construction. Eventual overcrowding required the building of an additional main entrance beside Cardinal Place (opened 2017) and an extension to the southern ticket hall (opened 2018). Step-free access is now available throughout.
Plaques: The plaque the Queen unveiled fifty years ago has been moved to the foot of the Wilton Road staircase. A brand new plaque has appeared this month, commemorating 150 years of the District line, 50 years of the Victoria line and "the recent station upgrade project", although in reality it's more a sheet of paper in a plastic picture frame because there isn't the money to spend on artisan chiselling these days.
One-way system: Having given the newly enlarged station a few months to bed down, TfL are taking advantage of fresh connections by closing the Victoria line escalators for repair. A one-way system kicked off a couple of weeks ago, and will continue until summer next year, affecting anyone attempting interchange with or access to the Victoria line. I attempted the trek from the southern ticket hall to the Victoria line platforms and was directed by signs and staff along a sinuous foot tunnel, then sharp left to the shorter escalators usually used for District line access. It only took two minutes in the middle of a weekday, but if this is your regular commute for the next 16 months my sympathies.
Down below: You know what a Victoria line platform looks like by now. One extra thing to look out for here is the black and blue tiling of Design Work Leisure, an Art On The Underground project we last met at Blackhorse Road.
Inbetween: The concourse between the platforms is divided into two distinct parts, one of which (normally) leads to the southern ticket hall. The other half has two sets of facing escalators, one to the District line (in the centre of the platforms) and the other to Cardinal Place. One consequence of the odd spacing is that "Please Pass Along The Platform" signs are needed to spread passengers away from the point of entry.
Factnugget: Victoria was the southern terminus of the Victoria line for 868 days... so see you back here in July 2021.

Alabama is a known red state due to the way they have voted over the past decade Republican Kay Ivey won an election for an Alabama Senate seat. While many people still feel like this is a GOP state, there has been a rising concern after the last election. This page was developed to keep Alabama residents up-to-date with current political issues and upcoming state elections.
Sportsbooks are not offering any odds for the 2018 Alabama midterm elections at this time. We will post the odds as soon as they are released. This page was created to inform Alabama voters of their options when it comes to political betting, and to pass on current information about the 2018 Alabama midterm elections.
The Republican primary will likely be Donald Trump barring a political disaster. Trump won the state of Alabama in the 2016 election and will look to capitalize on the state again in 2020. It is likely that someone in his own party will try to run against President Trump but at this time there are too many unknowns to know.
The Democratic party has a few frontrunners when it comes to the 2020 bid. Bernie Sanders is about the only name you will recognize unless you relentlessly follow politics like we do. There are several good candidates but no one is standing out like a frontrunner so far, however, they have plently of time.
Sportsbooks will offer betting lines for the US Presidential election as the date draws near. Some odds are already posted, most of which project Donald Trump as a heavy favorite.

Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) are tools for measuring vocabulary size and growth. We make use of parents' extensive experience with their own child to estimate vocabulary skills.
Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) are tools for measuring vocabulary size and growth. These vocabulary 'checklists' have a long history in the study of language development. CDI studies at the Oxford University BabyLab employ a UK CDI to measure standardized vocabulary score in the local UK population, and to model growth as a function of age (see below). You can try out the Online CDI Tool to find out how many of our standard test-words your child understands. An alternative approach uses statistical modelling to estimate the possible size of a toddler's total vocabulary, based on a CDI score. You can try out the online Vocabulary Size Estimator.
This checklist of words is a tool for assessing the development of receptive and productive vocabulary through parental report. We typically use it with children aged from about 11 to 26 months.
The Oxford CDI has been used in the UK since 1998. It contains 416 standard words, for which both comprehension and production are assessed. The eight-page OCDI form is available for download. Alternatively, you can try out the Oxford CDI Online, for a quick summary of how many words your child knows or says.
Also available for download is a OCDI database containing (anonymous) results for several hundred children. The OCDI Database currently contains responses for 547 children aged 9.5-27.2 months. The OCDI Database is downloadable in three separate files.
A summary of these data is given below, in the graphs showing vocabulary size by age. The graphs show how the number of words produced and understood by children changes as a function of children's age. These graphs were generated from the OCDI Database by taking a moving average across 20 children.

Massages your feet as you walk.
When you first use the NanoTech Foot Liberator, you may feel like you are standing on a small hard ball; this is normal. We recommend that you DO NOT use it too long at fi rst, or your leg muscles may become strained and sore. Your feet will adapt to this process, and will feel more comfortable after a period of time; this time may vary for each person.
Follow the recommended usage time (Adaption Periods) below. You may need 2 weeks, a month, or 3 months to feel comfortable. Be patient!
Sometimes, the big toe angles outwards towards the middle of the foot and second toe. This forces the top of the fi rst metatarsal to protrude from the side of the foot at the base of the big toe. If this happens, a painful bunion (protruding joint) can form when the bones become misaligned.
The exact causes of bunions are not known, but using badly fi tted shoes is believed to make the condition more acute.
Clean the NanoTech Foot Liberator monthly with warm water and dish washing detergent.

Hear from Paladina Health's Dr. Stephen Cook how he values his relationship with each of his patients.
Hear from Paladina Health Regional Medical Director David Cameron how this model can provide care for the whole family.
I was able to sit down with Kimberly Shine, one of our physicians who practices in the Los Angeles area, at our provider summit this summer to ask her a few questions about her approach to healthcare. She’s been practicing medicine for over 15 years, the last three of which have been with Paladina Health. She shared insights about her approach to medicine and what she sees as different about the Paladina Health model of care.
What’s the Meaning Behind the Paladina Health Shield?
Ever wonder how an organization came up with their name or logo? We do too. So we thought we’d share the story behind Paladina Health and what our branded shield means to us. At Paladina Health, our shield has far more meaning than just a logo. It stands for who we are. And, really what is most important, are the visionary people behind the shield.
At Paladina Health, we share a common vision to be the leader in transforming how primary care is delivered for our patients, providers, and clients.
There has been a long and variable history of cost containment strategies deployed by mid-sized and large employers and their benefits consultants.
At Paladina Health, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many thought leaders in healthcare. One thought leader I always learn something new from is Rick Gantt, Area Vice President for Gallagher Benefit Services. I had the chance to sit down with Rick recently to talk healthcare benefit design—drawing on his more than 20 years of experience in healthcare innovation.
Skookum, a nonprofit that employs people with disabilities to provide contract services to businesses and government agencies, just finished work on a small clinic built into one side of its Auto Center Way headquarters. Skookum will contract with Paladina Health to staff the clinic with a part-time physician, who will provide primary care to Skookum employees, with an emphasis on preventive care.
Many employers feel powerless to control healthcare costs driven by the fee-for-service healthcare system. To reduce or contain healthcare costs, look outside of the fee-for-service payment structure and change this upside-down incentive dynamic. By leveraging innovative care models, such as direct primary care other value-based payment mechanisms, we can begin to control healthcare costs—and move the needle on long-term negative health outcomes and cascading healthcare costs down the line.
