High-Speed Internet is Not a Basic Right

By Sara Kubik

Sara Kubik

Sara Kubik

Sara Kubik holds a PhD in Technology and Gerontology, a MBA in Marketing and Management, a BA in Graphic Design, and is expecting to complete her Juris Doctor degree at WMU-Cooley Law School in December 2016. She is an extern at the Speaker Law Firm, an appellate boutique law firm representing clients in the Michigan and federal appellate courts. This article was originally published by Law Technology Today on July 6, 2016.

In February 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) classified broadband Internet service access as a public utility.

The move was focused around the concept of net neutrality. The FCC’s Open Internet Rules claim to protect consumers by prohibiting things like throttling data speeds or giving prioritization to higher payers of internet services.

I laughed reading these “bright line rules” because the cellular plan I’m on unabashedly states that they will throttle my data content when I reach a monthly limit. I’ve experienced this throttling; it makes viewing almost every web page impossible.

And the prohibition of speed prioritization? This same service “allows” me the option of paying more money to get a faster Internet connection.

So is the FCC’s move lip-service only? And what does this have to do with lawyers? This article is a realistic perspective on the future of high speed Internet access in rural U.S. areas. It will dispel the hype that we hear about broadband being a basic right and suggest practical solutions to the realities of Internet connectivity and web page designs in an unequal-access world.

But back to the FCC and its broadband-is-now-a-utility declaration. Here are some preliminary questions:

  1. What is a public utility? Generally speaking, utilities include things like electricity, telecommunications, water, and sewage service.
  1. Are public utilities basic rights? That’s debatable. Some would say they are not; providers can shut off service for things like non-payment of electrical bills. On the flip side, many have argued there is a basic human right to water and sanitation, something that is being challenged in the Flint, Michigan water crisis, for example.
  1. Should we lump broadband Internet access in with this group? Is it a basic right? The reality is, high speed Internet access is not a basic right for all Americans. And it never will be.

I live in a town in Michigan in a county that is classified as rural. Technically I am about one mile beyond the town’s limit. And from here, I cannot get cable, nor can I receive any type of wired-broadband Internet connectivity. And fiber optic Internet connectivity (which has the fastest Internet speeds)? Only in my dreams.

My options for Internet access at home are satellite-connectivity for any home computers or cellular-connectivity through my smart phone. Both are nowhere near as fast or maintain as consistent a connection as cabled or fiber optic Internet connections.

Now before you question if my house has running water and electricity (yes to both), I would like to also point out that I live about one mile from one of the largest universities in Michigan. I live one mile from 27,000 broadband-connected young folk! Yet I strongly believe that this Broadband-Internet-High-Speed-Is-A-Basic-Right idea is completely unachievable.

Here’s why:

  1. When it comes to cable or fiber optic lines connecting to our homes, not everyone has them and not everyone will be able to get them.

We are a large nation in terms of geographic size. Rolling out cables or fiber optics to every U.S. home location is not going to happen. (See a comparison of cable to fiber optic connectivity here.) To connect to a private home, cables and lines must either be below ground or above. So that means either digging a ditch or connecting to utility poles. Digging new ditches to everyone’s home is expensive compared to the overhead alternative. The infrastructure is already in place regarding utility poles, however, not everyone can access them.

And for those who can access the utility poles, there is a lot of fighting both amongst them and to prohibit others from accessing these passageways.

To summarize: there is too much ground to cover to install underground cable or fiber optic lines to every U.S. home, it would be too expensive to install all of those underground lines to all rural dwellings, and there are too many players in the overhead line market who can’t, or won’t, form high speed Internet agreements to serve the rural population.

Well, if we can’t be corded in rural areas, what else can we do?

Cut the cord!

But, this, too, is not an optimal solution…

  1. When it comes to cellular coverage and smart phone use, the data usage amount is routinely limited and the speed is not fast.

As mentioned above, living in a rural area and having a smart phone is not the same as living in an urban area. First, not every telecom company has service in rural areas. We still experience the “Can you hear me now?” phenomenon.

And of the smart-phone service we can get, there are issues like limited data amounts, or data plans that throttle users on so-called “unlimited” access plans.  Where this is felt the most is when we try to watch video on our smart phones. It’s a sure-fire way to hit our data cap in record time!

But that is assuming we can even see the videos. Often, and despite what the marketing may say, the speed of Internet access when using a smart phone is just plain painful. I explained the comparison of cable Internet connection versus smart phone internet connection to my mother like this: Cable is like a roaring river with rapids — you get a lot of water, but it doesn’t last too long. Smart phone access is like a long and winding stream that goes on and on — it’s a smaller amount of water, but it goes further. We, in rural areas, are most likely limited to a stream-type connection for our Internet access with our smart phones.

Well, then, what about satellite?

  1. When it comes to satellite subscriptions, the price is too high and the service is not consistent.

Satellite connections are also not as fast as wired speeds and the fees are really expensive. Plus, signals routinely drop. They drop. They drop. And then they drop. This makes Cloud-connectivity software something we try to stay clear of.

The Takeaways for Lawyers

The solution to all of this is not to force all rural inhabitants to move but to keep in mind the following …  do not forget about us, the-non-broadband group, when you design websites and digital solutions.

  • Start with mobile-optimized web pages and then do your desktop designs. One in five Americans do not have broadband access at home and also have relatively few options for getting online other than their cell phone. It’s not just we in rural America that are smart-phone dependent, though, and Pew Research has a great study on who else falls into this group. Again, remember that 20 percent of Americans are smart-phone dependent, so web pages should increasingly be designed, or at least responsive, for mobile viewing.
  • Assume we will connect to your site with our smart phones (which, like a stream, are the furthest reaching but can be the slowest in terms of speed).
  • Make it clear on your mobile-optimized sites that there may be more features on your desktop designs and provide us with a hyperlink to that site if we want to jump to it. This is an increasingly understood notion — that desktop websites have more features than mobile-optimized sites.
  • Remember that our screen sizes are smaller, so be efficient with your designs. Do not put in content that is not necessary or redundant on your mobile-optimized websites. Do not put in too many images; do not put in images that are too large in size. Law Practice Today provides an explanation on resolution, resizing, and re-sampling images. And although it loads quickly, try to limit your words, dear lawyers.
  • Drop the auto-play of video content. Even animated .gifs are potentially problematic (and highly annoying). If you want to attract rural clients, drop video content altogether!

Remember, too, that high speed Internet speeds vary depending upon what type of connection you use or have the ability to use (smart phone, satellite, cable, fiber optic). The gold star of universal broadband access is just not foreseeable given the problems noted above. It’s not a basic right; it’s not about being fair or unfair.

So let’s be realistic about what can, will, and should not be considered a basic right for the various ways to connect to the Internet in this very large country of ours. And on that note, because I wrote this article on my home computer, I must now drive into work to e-mail it.

Ombudsman tells council to “think again” abouts its £1,600 rates bill for refugee group

Posted By on 6th January 2017

6th January 2017
By Graham Smith

The local government Ombudsman has told Cornwall Council to think again about its decision to charge business rates on a Wadebridge industrial unit used by a local group set up to help refugees.

The council is demanding £1,600 from the Wadebridge Cornish Refugee Aid group, and is threatening legal action. But the volunteers, who collect and distribute clothes and equipment for shipment to refugee camps overseas, have no money and do not even have a bank account.

James Peters is investigating for the Ombudsman a complaint that the council has not properly considered its own rules. The council says on its website that it has discretion to grant 100% relief of business rates to both charitable and not-for-profit organisatons – but a more detailed investigation of the council’s approach reveals an underlying structure of rules and definitions which means that, in practice, only village or community halls can qualify for the full discount.

Mr Peters says that this means the council has “fettered its discretion” and that officials should consider further whether the group can qualify for 100% relief.

In a letter to the council’s chief executive, Kate Kennally, Mr Peters says: “While the Council does have the discretion to set limits, consideration must also be given to whether individual applications could be considered for greater relief in exceptional circumstances. If the Council refuses to consider exceptional cases, it has fettered its discretion.”

Mr Peters goes on to tell the council: “Please give consideration to whether there are any exceptional reasons” as to why the refugee group should get 100% business rates relief. One interpretation of this could be that regardless of the merits, or relative worthiness, of any charity or not-for-profit organisation, that organisation’s ability to pay should also be considered.

Mr Peters has given the council until 11th January to reply. The council has put its threat of legal proceedings “on hold” while it considers how to respond to the Ombudsman.

Why Legal Staffing Agencies Might be the Next Big Thing

Why Legal Staffing Agencies Might be the Next Big Thing

Over the next 10 years, new jobs in the legal industry are expected to outpace many other industries.  Legal staffing agencies that master the art of filling emerging job opportunities in the legal field can grow more quickly than the rest.

Paralegal Jobs Outlook – 15 Percent Growth Expected from 2016 to 2026

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that more than 41K new jobs for paralegals will emerge between 2016 and 2026, resulting in industry growth of nearly 15 percent. The increasingly complex nature of contracts, copyright, ownership, the idea of intellectual property in a virtual world, and other legal agreements as well as the need for expertise in forming or disentangling unions of all types ensures that the services legal firms provide will be in demand for a long time to come.

Indeed, the very complexity of laws and regulations, the erasure of easy-to-define borders inherent in a digital world and many other factors are practically creating new jobs in the legal industry. As new legal specialties emerge so will firms, lawyers and a myriad of legal support roles. While some legal firms will elect to do their own hiring, some will turn to legal staffing agencies to fill open positions on an occasional or an on-going basis.

Emerging Non-Lawyer Legal Jobs Provide Even More Opportunities for Staffing Agencies

Legalcareers.about.com published a list of ten non-lawyer jobs that already exist in the legal field, and which they describe as “thriving.” Included on this list are:

  • E-discovery personnel (electronic discovery) staff who do research online and preserve and manage electronically stored information
  • Legal nurse consultants
  • Litigation support staff
  • Paralegals, both those that work in support of lawyers and who provide lawyer-alternative services
  • Trial consultants
  • Mediators
  • Jury consultants
  • Legal secretaries
  • Compliance Specialists
  • Court reporters

Related both to the legal field as well as law enforcement, forensic science techs, researchers and detectives also fall close to this list. In large firms, HR (human resources) directors often come from a legal background, or even possess law degrees themselves. The diversity of professional and support roles relative to these types of jobs is immense. Since demand for workers in these jobs can be expected to increase, staffing agencies that form divisions that specialize in staffing for these types of roles will be well-positioned to grow as well.

4 Ways Legal Staffing Agencies Can Increase Market Share

1. Become a helpful resource for legal firms and professionals before you start to sell.

Legal staffing firms that add value by turning their websites, social networks and email newsletters into a resource interesting to professionals in the legal profession can introduce their legal staffing services to both legal firms and prospective candidates alike. Building brand awareness by offering value in advance of asking for the sale often shortens the buying cycle and eliminates potential competitors.

2. Host networking events.

Networking events can act as mini job fairs, allowing employers to meet prospective placements in a social setting before bringing them on as temporary workers or regular employees. Since many legal jobs put individuals into direct contact with clients as well as internal staff at all organizational levels, getting a feel for how candidates may or may not fit within the organizational culture can reduce the chance that a candidate is placed somewhere they just don’t fit.

3. Offer a Unique, Beyond-the-Call-of-Duty Vetting Process

The attention to detail that is second nature to many in the legal field practically ensures that if you miss something critical in the candidate-vetting process, they are sure to discover it. When it comes to the way you recruit, interview, pre-screen and otherwise examine candidates for placement in legal jobs in your area, what can you do to make your process uniquely valuable to potential employers?

4. Partner with Schools and Students

Your legal staffing agency could ensure a steady stream of qualified, ready-to-place candidates coming out of law school and colleges who are looking for legal jobs right out of the gate by adding value and partnering with colleges, schools and other legal education programs. Hosting job fairs, sponsoring scholarships, providing guest lectures, paying for books or providing other student-amenities can all help ensure that you get first pick at emerging legal professionals and a chance to help them get their first job in the legal field.

We offer legal staffing factoring services that expedite cash flow for legal professionals and law firms. Get more information or request a free, no-obligation proposal and find out how you can get immediate access to the money tied up in receivables, without waiting for clients to pay.

Advent 3: Turning Aside from Fear and Abusive Systems

Zephaniah 3:14-20; Isaiah 12:2-6; Philippians 4:4-7; Luke 3:7-18

How often does it happen that we are afraid to get out of a bad system or situation because we don’t know what’s on the other side? Have you ever stayed in a job that was crushing you or demanding unhealthy amounts of your time? Work isn’t always fun – that’s why they have to pay us to do it! But it also shouldn’t be injurious to ourselves or others. But sometimes we are just too scared to leave or witness against a toxic entity.

The lectionary passages work together seamlessly to point out that we need not fear, be afraid or worry in any situation because God is among us. Zephaniah proclaims:

“The LORD has taken away the judgments against you, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more…The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing” (Zeph 3:15, 17).

Because the LORD is in the midst of the people, the enemies have been turned away and the people are to stop fearing disaster. Isaiah goes further to assert: “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the LORD GOD is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation” (Isaiah 12:2). Because God is salvation, the prophet will not fear. Finally, Philippians simply says: “Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Phil 4:6). The passages all work together to point out that with God among us, we need not be afraid.

It is this awareness that we don’t need to be afraid that I want to bring back to this second week of considering John the Baptizer’s ministry. I always think of the people who came out to be baptized by John as a brood of vipers. And that’s probably correct on some level, but still they chose to come to be baptized for repentance. I think they are no worse, and no better, than any of us who need to repent of the ways that we’ve injured each other and defamed God through our actions and inactions. We were all a brood of vipers who needed to be – and only could be – saved by God’s intervention and coming into our midst.

I want to recognize the courage of the people who came out of Herod’s Jerusalem and the surrounding areas to go to the wilderness to hear what a guy who ate bugs and wore hair suits was saying about repenting. In particular, the Jewish soldiers (Luke 3:14), many of whom would have had to undergo ritual immersion regularly if they worked in or around the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, were making a strange choice to the casual observer. They went to undergo baptism not in the beautiful pools around the temple, but in a not-that-impressive river (2 Kings 5:10-12). The tax collectors (Luke 3:12) who ultimately worked for Herod, who in turn worked for the Romans, were risking a great deal by coming out to hear a man who criticized their boss, tell them that they should not use their governmental power to hurt people, even when it was their right to do so.

These two groups of people were complicit in the occupation of the Holy Land. The tax collectors extracted wealth from a conquered people to give it to their Roman occupiers. The soldiers’ main job was to protect Rome’s Idumean [non-Jewish] puppet ruler, Herod; the Roman-appointed-and-deposed High Priest, Annas; and his Roman-appointed son-in-law, Caiaphas. It is difficult to convey how serious the danger the soldiers and tax collectors faced when they came out to the Jordan river valley to hear John, be baptized by him, and then ask what they should do.

It is important to remember that John was not the only one out in the desert side of the Judean highlands. The Essenes were a community of Jews who advocated leaving Jerusalem and the temple cult because it was hopelessly corrupted by collaborationists with empire. They saw themselves as sons of light who resisted and would one day fight against the sons of darkness (i.e., the soldiers, tax collectors, priests and rulers who supported the Roman occupation). They lived all around the areas where John preached. The soldiers and tax collectors came out to the territory of people who thought that they should be killed, not knowing at all what John would say to them, only knowing that they felt convicted that something was wrong, and they wanted it to be right. They showed an amazing lack of fear in walking away from their relatively cushy jobs and lives to hear a voice in the wilderness.

John did not say to them, stay here, join my movement and give up on the collaborationist project, however. He sent them back to their jobs, to do them justly, in a way that did not harm their fellow Jews. This would have been a powerful witness to their fellow soldiers and tax collectors, and an indictment from within of the abusive system. Following John’s instructions would have made the tax collectors and soldiers immediately poorer, and then if they continued, would have endangered their lives. After all, Herod wasted no time arresting John right after this (Luke 3:19-20).

This all reminds me of the first few lines from one of my favorite poems by Wendell Berry, Mad Farmer in the City:

As my first blow against it, I would not stay.
As my second, I learned to live without it.
As my third, I went back one day and saw
that my departure had left a little hole
where some of its strength was flowing out…

The soldiers and tax collectors walked out of the city and their abusive power roles. John taught them how to live without abusing other people. Then John sent them back. Their presence must have ripped some kind of hole in empire where its strength started to leak out.

This advent, as we prepare ourselves for the celebration of Jesus’ birth, let us look to John the Baptizer again for his fearless incitement to repentance of evil and abusive behavior. But let us also look to those who questioned their roles in an abusive system and bravely risked their lives to seek, and find, a better way to be faithful to the God who calls us all to live without fear.

Decision details

Internal Audit Progress Report

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: No

The Committee received the regular report on the work of the Internal Audit Service, including key findings and issues of concern. In presenting the report, the Head of Internal Audit advised that it was anticipated that the service would only be able to provide limited assurance at year-end, given the issues set out in the report and the restrictions on the work that the service has been able to carry out. It was confirmed that the Internal Audit Service was on target to deliver its full plan of work by the end of the year.

In considering the report, members of the committee noted the large number of temporary and agency staff being used in some areas of social care, and also noted that the review of the Highways Asset Management System (HAMS) did not encompass consideration of the relationship to the Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP).

Resolved: That the report be noted.

Can Developing Countries Alone Face Corona Virus? An Iraqi Situation

Published time: 26 March 2020

Authors: Ehab Mudher Mikhaela, Ali AzeezAl-Jumaili

Keywords: Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, Iraq, Challenges

Iraq is one of seven Arabic countries (Lebanon, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia) that acquired novel coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) via people who have visited Iran recently. Iraqi outdated public healthcare settings are already overwhelmed with many acute injuries from ongoing unrest. Iraq faces six challenges in controlling COVID-19 [1]: A shortage in number of quarantine facilities [2], the availability of the testing which is limited to one governmental lab only in Baghdad [3], a shortage in personal protective equipment (PPE) and ambulances [4], a low level of public awareness [5], a shortage in hygiene preparations and [6] a high rate of antibiotic resistance in case of secondary bacterial infection. Thus, Iraq alone cannot control such a rapidly emerging outbreak and needs help from the international community and the World Health Organization (WHO) to prepare additional medical labs, establish high standard quarantine facilities and provide medical equipment for healthcare professionals. On its side, Iraq needs to impose more restrictions on travel from countries with a COVID-19 outbreak as other countries have done.

NCC praises USDA’s withdrawal of controversial ‘GIPSA Rules’ on competitive injury, unfair practices and undue preferences

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced today it is withdrawing the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration’s (GIPSA) interim final rule on competitive injury, and its proposed rule on unfair practices and undue preferences.  After a 180-day extension of the comment period, the interim final rule was scheduled to go into effect on October 19. “I want to thank Secretary Perdue for USDA’s thorough and meaningful review of these controversial rules that would have opened the floodgates to frivolous and costly litigation,” said NCC President Mike Brown.  “It is clear the administration took into account the thousands of comments it received and recognized these rules would have come with deep economic consequences for American poultry and livestock producers.” Read more

Refashion: Aqua Goodwill Find

Whenever I’m flipping through the racks at Goodwill I always keep an eye out for fabric that jumps out at me. I thought the aqua and white print on this dress was so cute. There was just one problem…refashion before…..the dress needed a wee bit of altering.

I liked the overall idea of the dress but, honestly, I just don’t seem to wear my dresses much. So I decided to turn it into a top. I didn’t like where the waistline was hitting me so I thought that was a good place to take out some length.

Refashion cuts

Knowing my bust would be the most difficult part to fit, I started work on the top of the shirt. I put it on over a tank top and pinned the shirt to the tank in the center and at the side seams to keep it in place, then gathered the fabric on one side of the bust and pinned it.

refashion bust pleat pinning

I carefully took the top off and pinned either side of where the gathers began, then pulled the pin holding the gathers out so the top would lay flat.

refashion bust pleat pinning2

I measured the distance between the pins and the distance from the button stance so I could replicate it on the other side and make even bust gathers. I quickly stitched them down to keep them in place while I made some other adjustments.

The original sleeves on the dress gaped open too much and there was still a lot of bulk on the side of the shirt. Once I had the bust darts figured out I put the top back on to figure out how to take in the sleeves.

refashion sleeve pin

The arrows are pointing out the pins, not side boob.

I omitted the middle elastic section I had cut out of the shirt and sewed the top portion to the bottom (I had to take in the bottom a little to account for the fabric I took out of the top).

refashion during

The refashion could have been done at this point, I guess, but I wasn’t satisfied with the fit yet. The sleeves looked funny with my arms down so I took them in along the dotted line I drew in the picture above to produce the sleeve in the photo below:

refashion sleeve

I also felt like the waist seam was sagging at the side seams and on my back, so I needed to bring that up a bit. I wanted it to be just a wee bit more fitted around the waist too.

refashion during back

The waist seam adjustment left me with some extra fabric that I was able to use to form an elastic casing.

I reused the elastic from the original top and cut it to fit tightly across the back of my new shirt. It did the trick!

refashion after front

I think this will be a great easy-to-wear and easy-to-care-for summer top!

Anyhoo, I’ve got a trip to New York to pack for so for now I’ll just leave you with this series of goofy poses:

Swap-Bot Paper crafting Magazine plus Project

Here is the card I created and the magazine I’m going to send to my Swap-bot partner. I thought it would be fun to send a preowned magazine along with one completed project inspired by something inside the magazine to each other. I picked the “Create Vintage” issue by Scrapbook trends and found a card on page 51 that inspired me to create my own. The original card was made by Lucy Abrams of Lucy’s Cards. Using a vintage button card I found at a church bazaar I added two more vintage buttons to complete the set and used fabric corners so that the recipient can remove them if they wish to. I embossed the sentiment ” The best antiques are old friends” and added the seam binding and twine just like Lucy used on her card. On the 29th I will send this card and the magazine to whomever the computer picks as my partner. Thanks for visiting!

7z archive format

7z format was developed and introduced by Igor Pavlov in 1999.

Used in 7z format, LZMA and LZMA2 are powerful compression algorithms and published as open-source (public domain), so they are used widely in the IT industry.

Advantages of 7z

7z is a relatively new archive format compared to the other old ones. So this format has these advanced features.

  • 7z uses LZMA/LZMA2 compression algorithms of high compression ratio. Especially, LZMA2 is an improved algorithm of LZMA with multi-threading. The more CPU cores, the faster the compression speed is.
  • Supports advanced encryption method (AES256).
  • Supports filename encryption. Without a password, you can’t even access the name of the file in the archive.
  • Supports solid compression, which improves compression ratio when processing multiple similar files.
  • Unicode filenames, Processing large file over 4GBytes, etc.

Disadvantages of 7z

To achieve even higher compression ratio, 7z uses various ways including header compression.

Because of those features, however, it is almost impossible to recover a compressed file when it is damaged even slightly.

Therefore, please be careful not to damage your important files when you backup them in 7z format.

You may find information on how to recover damaged 7z files in 7z website, but making a complete recovery is extremely difficult even for experts.

Features of 7z created by Bandizip

Bandizip creates 7z archive files with its own compression module based on LZMA SDK.

Therefore, when you compress files with Bandizip, the features of the archive files differ from those of the files made on 7-zip as follows:

  • Bandizip’s file encryption always encrypts an archive header.
  • Bandizip supports LZMA and LZMA2 only; other compression algorithms used in 7z format are not supported.

Thousands of San Joseños witnessed the groundbreaking ceremony of the City College of San Jose del Monte at Barangay Minuyan Proper, Sports Complex, City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, November 6, 2017.

The event was highlighted with the Blessing of the City College Site followed by the lowering of the Time Capsule that contains the profile and blueprint of the City College. The city officials and guests also conducted the ceremonial spreading and the planting of the centennial tree.

The celebration continues as Mayor Arthur B. Robes unveils the City College of San Jose del Monte and proceed to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Signing with Mr. Marcelino P. Escalada, General Manager of National Housing Authority.

“Education is one thing we can leave behind to the future generation. We do not just stop as a college, we pursue for a university,” Escalada stressed.

Escalada assures to the San Joseños that the national government is willing to provide assistance for the development of the people of San Jose del Monte.

After the MOA Signing, Philippine Sports Commission Chairman William I. Ramirez also turned over the Sports Complex to the City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

In his speech, Chairman Ramirez also emphasized the importance of education.

“According to UNESCO, if you allow the children to go to school, it will equalize us, the rich and the poor, the collars, the identity, it is education that makes us equal, and education can even break the cycle of poverty,” said Ramirez. Also present in the ceremony are Keynote Speaker Senator Cynthia Villar and Dr. Carmelita Sotto, President of the Association of the Local Colleges and Universities of the Philippines.

Villar congratulates Mayor Arthur B. Robes for establishing a local college and the triumph of the City of San Jose del Monte as the Record Holder of Guinness World Records’ Largest Lantern Parade.

On the other hand, Sotto praised the proposed plan of the City College to immediately offer six courses matched to the demand of the local industry in San Jose del Monte.

The City College will directly benefit the 9,853 current enrollees under the K-to-12 Program and the estimated 11,077 out-of-school youth aged 15-24 in the city.

The establishment of the City College of San Jose del Monte is a legacy of the Robes Administration and this year’s birthday gift of Mayor Robes to the San Joseño youth. It is part of the commitment of the Mayor Arthur B. Robes, Vice Mayor Efren C. Bartolome Jr., City Council, and Congresswoman Florida P. Robes to provide affordable but quality tertiary education to San Joseños.

“Ang Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng San Jose del Monte, ito ang magbibigay ng bagong hagdanan, bagong pagasa sa mga mahihirap nating kababayan para unti-unti nating maiparamdam at maipakita ang totoong diwa ng The Rising City ang Lungsod ng San Jose del Monte,” Mayor Robes concluded.

Meanwhile, also part of the program is the blessing of the nine new service vehicles of the local government, and the Gawad Tanglaw that gives recognition to people and organizations that wholeheartedly participated on the Tanglawan Festival and became part of the success of the Guinness World Records’ Largest Lantern Parade.

The event concluded with the birthday celebration of Mayor Arthur B. Robes.

Our Impact

The Center is an evidenced-based, outcome-focused organization.  We work with our partners to clarify both their desired outcomes and the metrics for monitoring ongoing progress.  We are committed to supporting lasting, meaningful improvements, and we are proud of the results our partners have produced.    Read further to better understand the work of the Center in specific districts.

The Connecticut Center for School Change has been an invaluable partner to the Guilford Public Schools for several years.  Our schools have benefitted through hosting instructional rounds; our principals have honed their practice working with executive coaches; and individually, I have found the Superintendents’ Network to be one of the most consistently challenging and impactful professional experiences in which I have ever participated.  Our relationship with the Center has made us a stronger and better school district at every level.

Center’s Deep Bench Helps Enhance District Improvement

Joe Macary has been superintendent of schools in Vernon, Connecticut since 2015, after serving as superintendent in Wolcott. In May 2016, he worked with the Center to conduct a district coherence audit and, based on those results, decided to partner with the Center for professional learning and to strengthen district performance in three key areas:  building capacity through executive coaching, central office transformation, and family engagement.

Three senior administrators per year received executive coaching which, […]

The Proof is in the Numbers

Sharon Locke, superintendent in Naugatuck, doesn’t want to talk about equity – she wants to create equity! Locke has been consulting with the Center for several years, and the results, she says, have been remarkable, especially in improved math scores and in growth with the district’s highest-needs students.

Locke said that when she arrived in Naugatuck in 2014, her team reviewed the data and identified the gap in student growth between math and ELA. Students in the same cohort […]

About Us

a dynamic modern venue in the heart of the community

Our Team

Friendly, helpful staff with a can-do attitude

Our Story

Cullompton Venue (also known as Cullompton Community Centre) was built on the site of the former St. Andrew’s Church Hall: the project was conceived, managed and part-funded by the Church as a gift to the local community.

The spectacular £1.7m, 9,250-square feet building boasts the best of contemporary architecture, with a sweeping curved roof, glass walls and an abundance of natural light.

We are deeply grateful for the donations we received for the project from parishioners at St. Andrew’s Church, as well was grants from Devon County Council, and Uffculme Environmental Fund. We have also been awarded more than £700,000 from SWRDA (South West of England Regional Development Agency, with DEFRA as the Managing Authority).

The Cheater

The Ladies’ Fight Club is only for the toughest, and Nikky is one hellish she-warrior, the real champion of the ring. But this time she meets her match in the person of the beautiful Henessy, who challenges her for her belt. When the girls fight for domination and to be the best, rules turn to be obscure, and it is hard to guess who will gain the upper hand.

Holy Week 2020

Holy Week 2020

In these days leading up to Easter day 2020, it would be very easy with everything else going on to forget what we are doing and the time of year it is.

However as Christians at this time of year we do recall again the events of that week in the life of Jesus. This year it holds particular meaning – the pain, the isolation, the despair, the darkness and ultimately the death of our Lord and saviour.

As a church this year – we are not meeting as we had planned to do – with Bishop Harold Miller leading our thoughts this week. However, as parish we’re doing a few other things – as well as linking into the on-line resources being produced in the diocese.

Palm Sunday 11am – Morning with with Robert Ferris leading, Dave Backhouse on worship, Matt Gould preaching and Pam Wood leading prayers.

Tuesday of Holy Week – 12 Noon – with Robert Ferris & Máirt Hanley – Noon Day Prayers – on our Youtube Channel

Wednesday, Thursday & Friday 10 am – Holy Week Liturgies with Robert & Ian (These will be made available to pray later)

On this page you will find other materials produced by the diocesean clergy team to help in our thoughts and prayers as they become available – including a reading of the Passion Narrative, A Tenebrae service and other material.

Other Resources:

Parishioner Paul Everett is producing a daily blog throughout Holy week – check it out here –

Reading of the Passion Narrative by some of the Clergy in Cork Cloyne & Ross

On Easter Sunday at 11am we will have a Holy Communion Service live from Robert & Noelle’s kitchen! with Ian Preaching & a kids talk by Ruth.

Ash Wednesday Service – St. Peter’s Church 8pm 26th February

Ash Wednesday Service – St. Peter’s Church 8pm 26th February

Ash Wednesday emphasizes a dual encounter: we confront our own mortality and confess our sin before God within the community of faith. The form and content of the service focus on the dual themes of sin and death in the light of God’s redeeming love in Jesus Christ.

The use of ashes as a sign of mortality and repentance has a long history in Jewish and Christian worship, and the Imposition of Ashes can be a powerful nonverbal and experiential way of participating in the call to repentance and reconciliation. This practice is the historic focus of Ash Wednesday observance and gave the day its name. It is traditional to save the palm branches from the previous Passion/Palm Sunday service and burn them ahead of time to produce the ashes for this service.

All are very welcome to this service – 8pm, St. Peter’s Church Hill, Carrigrohane

I love this lesson but am worried about using polish purchased from the store, mixing and selling as my own. Is there a way to make the polish completely from scratch in an empty bottle?
Hi Dawn, great question! I'm afraid I don't know how to make nail polish from scratch but I think it would involve masks (!!), Butyl Acete, Ethyl Acete, Alcohol and possibly Nitrocellulose. Then of course your pigment of choice. As I said I'm not 100% knowledgable on how to make it from scratch but it can definitely be done I am sure! Let me know how you get on :)

Thank you for your quick response! I certainly will :).

Hi Maria! So I actually used a pigment eyeshadow/mineral powered eyeshadow. But any very cheap eyeshadow or an old shade is perfect for this :)

On Autos: New Lexus hybrid is a city-friendly crossover

The 2019 Lexus UX 250h is a subcompact luxury crossover that gets an EPA-estimated 41 mpg in city driving. Photo by Brady Holt

Subcompact cars are a great choice for a crowded city. Maneuverable and easy to park, they can be a perfect fit for D.C. Of course, the typical subcompact car is an entry-level vehicle with spartan interior decor, few high-end features, and ho-hum looks.

That’s why the burgeoning subcompact luxury crossover class has been such a hit. The best of these models boil the essence of their brands into a smaller, more convenient and more affordable package.

The all-new 2019 Lexus UX is joining a crowd that includes such models as the Mercedes-Benz GLA (that familiar staple of D.C.’s car2go car-sharing fleet) and the Volvo XC40.

It also brings another city-friendly technology that’s not offered on any of its competitors: a gas-electric hybrid powertrain. The Current tested this model, the UX 250h, and enjoyed its comfortable cabin, luxury-grade feature content, and outstanding fuel economy — though its limited interior space left something to be desired.

Like the Mercedes GLA, BMW X2, or Infiniti QX30, the UX is shaped like a slightly taller hatchback more than like a boxy SUV. That makes this Lexus sleeker and more aerodynamic than a Volvo XC40 or BMW X1, but it also has less passenger and cargo space than those models. Adults have a tight squeeze in the rear seat, which you’ll have to fold down to carry very much stuff. Its liftback versatility makes the UX more functional than a small sedan, though.

The cheapest UX is the UX 200 model, which has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 169 horsepower. That’s less zip than the competition in the luxury field, where turbocharged engines with more than 200 horsepower are the norm. But it’s great news at the pump, where the UX’s EPA-estimated 33 miles per gallon in mixed driving beats every competitor.

The UX 250h costs $2,000 more than the UX 200, but it’s worth the extra money. Not only does it bring all-wheel-drive instead of front-wheel-drive, but it also has more horsepower (181).

That’s to say nothing of its phenomenal fuel economy around town, where the EPA estimates it will get 41 mpg compared to 29 mpg for the UX 200. Like most hybrids, the UX 250h is more efficient around town because its electric motors can help out more at low speeds, sometimes even letting you accelerate or coast without using the gas engine at all.

The tested UX 250h even beat its EPA estimates to average about 43 mpg in mixed driving, and both the hybrid and the gas-only model require regular-grade fuel instead of costly premium.

The 2019 Lexus UX 250h has a modern, well-finished, high-tech interior. Like other Lexus models, some controls could be easier to use. Photo by Brady Holt

Drivers who take long road trips might not appreciate that the UX is noisier on the highway than most luxury crossovers, but it’s well-behaved around town, where it exhibits a comfortable ride and agile handling. It’s even smoother than Lexus’s larger, pricier NX compact crossover, though not as roomy or quick.

Pricing for the UX is highly competitive, starting at just $33,025 for the UX 200 and $35,020 for the UX 250h hybrid. That’s quite good for a luxuriously finished, generously equipped, and sharp-looking luxury crossover — and its extra-low fuel costs further keep expenses down. Just don’t expect the high seating position, spacious interior, or smooth, powerful engine that you might associate with a luxury SUV.

Driveway Gates Washington | Custom Plasma Cut Bear & Moose Design

Custom Ornamental Driveway Gates Shipped to Washington

Plasma Cut Driveway Gates

We worked with a client from the state of Washington to design these ornamental driveway gates. The design theme features a bear and a moose in a background that reflects the client’s locale.

Ornamental driveway gates in front of Washington home. Bear and moose silhouettes plasma cut by JDR Metal Art.

If you look closely you can see that the gates are hung from steel posts placed directly behind a magnificent overhead entryway that features bears carved from wood!

Driveway Gates Built to Last

Each driveway gate panel is 11′ wide for a total gate width of 22′. The panels weigh approximately 325 lbs. per side. We used heavy wall 7 ga. tubing for the frames so there is plenty of structural support to easily withstand winds and the forces of being repeatedly opened and closed by automated gate openers. The driveway gate silhouettes are cut from 11ga. sheet. The gates and posts were pretreated and then powder coated black multiple times to build a nice thick rust preventing barrier between the steel and the Washington environment.

Artistic Driveway Gates, Competitively Priced

At JDR Metal Art driveway gates, not only do we build our driveway gates to last, we design and build them in a way that allows us to provide a beautiful artistic driveway gate at or lower than the cost of our competitors who simply provide plain looking gates mass produced in either Mexico or China. Why settle for less from them when you can get more from us? We are proud to provide our customers with metal art gates handcrafted in the USA!

Customized Designs for Driveway Gates

We enjoy working with people from all walks of life in order to help them create a gate that will make a lasting statement about who they are and what they stand for. It is an honor and a privilege to be given such an opportunity on an everyday basis. It is a challenge that we don’t take lightly. We are receptive to the many factors that go into bringing out the full design potential in each customer’s driveway gate design process.

Nationwide Shipping, Lowest Rates

We ship most of our custom made driveway gates via motor freight. They are crated up and shipped from our fabrication and powder coating facility in Columbus, Ohio to the final destination. The gates can be shipped directly to your residence, to a local business, or picked up from a local freight terminal.
