Kahlua Shelf Life: Can It Go Bad?
If you're craving for a delicious adult beverage, there's no better way to scratch that itch than with a nice bottle of Kahlua.
Table Of Contents
You reach into your cupboard to make your favorite White Russian and find the bottle of Kahlua from a party you had last Christmas. As you grab the bottle and look for an expiration date, you might be wondering, "does Kahlua go bad?"
Whether you buy Kahlua regularly for yourself or you only get it every now and then for entertainment, knowing the shelf life of Kahlua is important.
What is Kahlua?
Kahlua is a rum-based liqueur that is meant to taste just like coffee. It is commonly used in alcoholic cocktails and is a great way to add some flavor and excitement to your cocktail parties.
Kahlua contains ingredients such as rum, vanilla bean, arabica coffee, and sugar. It first came on the scene in 1936 and is named after the Veracruz Nahuatl word of the same name, which means "House of the Acolhua people."
The alcohol content of Kahlua is about 20%, although there are some special versions of Kahlua that offer a lower viscosity and a higher alcohol content. Because of this, they are usually less sweet, too.
Kahlua can be consumed by itself, usually neat or on ice, or it can be used in cocktails. It is often used in desserts and as a topping for ice cream, cheesecakes, and cakes, too. Since it's made out of coffee beans, it also contains caffeine. Kahlua is used in some of the following popular cocktails:
 - Espresso Martini
 - White and Black Russians
 - Baby Guinness
 - Colorado Bulldog
 - Spanish coffee
 - Mudslide
Kahlua Shelf Life
Kahlua doesn't have the same long shelf life as other spirits, like whiskey, vodka, Tequila or rum. However, its shelf life might surprise you – it's longer than you think.
Does Kahlua Expire?
To determine the shelf life of your Kahlua, start by determining its production date. Usually, this will be indicated on the back of the bottle, toward the lower edge of the label. The lot number will include a lengthy list that is a combination of letters and numbers.
The first four digits of this combination are what you need to pay attention to. The first four digits represent the year in which the Kahlua was bottled and sent to the stores.
Usually, you'll see the letter L as the first in the sequence, which simply standards for "the last digit of the production year," while the number immediately following that will represent the year. If the number is a 6, it means it was produced in 2016.
How Long Does Kahlua Last?
Once you know the production date, you can determine the shelf life. Original Kahlua has an average shelf life of four years, while Flavored Kahlua usually lasts around two years. Ready to Mix Kahlua has the shortest shelf life – it typically only lasts about a year.
What's important to note is that these dates are better indicators of freshness and quality than they are of safety. You can easily use the liquor after these dates, but it won't have the best possible flavors. Six-year-old Kahlua, if unopened, is probably safe to use, but it won't taste as good as a bottle that's brand new.
Once you open a bottle of Kahlua, these dates become expedited. If you have a bottle of four-year-old Kahlua that's been open for three weeks, it's not going to taste good as a fresh bottle that you just barely opened.
How to Store Kahlua
There are several types of Kahlua on the market, including Original, Flavored, and Ready-to-Drink. Luckily, you don't need to memorize different storage rules for all three – storing any type of Kahlua is usually the same.
When you have an unopened bottle of this liquor, you can store it in any dark, cool place – just as you would a bottle of rum. Usually, a pantry, basement, or cellar is a great option, but you could even stash it in the back of the liquor cabinet for the kitchen cupboard, too. Just keep it cool.
You are more than welcome to store Kahlua in the refrigerator, but if it has not been opened, this is not necessary.
Does Kahlua Need to Be Refrigerated After Opening?
While unopened Kahlua can easily be stored in any cool, dry location, Kahlua that has been opened needs to be stashed in a colder environment.
Once your bottle of Kahlua has been open for a few hours, it needs to be moved to the refrigerator. Not only will it taste best chilled, but this also preserves its shelf life, too.
Make sure you seal your bottle using the original cap. This will provide the best possible seal.
There are people out there who will tell you that Kahlua does not need to be refrigerated after opening. Technically, this is true, as you won't see a difference in how safe it is to drink if it is not refrigerated. However, if you use Kahlua on a regular basis, you are going to want to keep it in the fridge. Not only will it improve its taste and quality, but you won't have to chill it before each serving, either.
How to Tell if Kahlua Has Spoiled
Like other common types of alcohol-based liqueurs (such as amaretto), it's pretty uncommon for Kahlua to truly go bad.
The exception to this is if you are storing Kahlua for a lengthy period of time. If that's the case, you will want to keep an eye out for common signs of spoilage like a strange smell, discoloration, bad taste, or even mold. If you notice these, get rid of the liqueur immediately.
As long as the Kahlua seems normal, you're probably fine to give it a state. If it still has all of its original flavors and aromas, it's perfectly safe to drink.
Can you use Kahlua after the expiration date?
Kahlua, like many types of alcohol, often does not have an expiration date. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine whether it has actually gone bad or not. Instead of an expiration date, it might have a production date, a processing date, a packing date, or a bottling date that will tell you when the product was created.
Otherwise, most manufacturers recommend that Kahlua be consumed within four years of the production date.
Does Kahlua Mudslide go bad?
A Mudslide is simply a drink that is commonly made with Kahlua and other ingredients. There are also premade Mudslide blenders that include ingredients such as nondairy creamers. These mixers go bad a bit more quickly than regular Kahlua, so you will want to pay attention to the dates on the labels. In addition, watch out for signs of spoilage like chunks and odors, too.
Can old Kahlua make you sick?
It is rare for any kind of liqueur or cordial to go bad. The alcohol and the sugar will both serve as preservatives. The brown glass of the bottle can also help keep you safe, as it will prevent sunlight or heat from wreaking havoc with the contents. At the very worst, you might get an upset stomach by drinking old Kahlua.

Winter quarters at Brandy Station
During the Civil War, soldiers and officers spent a great deal of time at camps such as the one in this photograph, taken of officers of the 1st Brigade, Horse Artillery, at their winter quarters at Brandy Station, Virginia in February 1864. The eastern theater of the war had witnessed the Battle of Brandy Station on June 9, 1863, which was technically a Confederate victory. However, the battle demonstrated that the Union cavalry had improved greatly since the beginning of the war. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported on battles and movements of troops at the front.
Women were involved in all areas of the Civil War. The role of the woman in this photograph is unknown, but it is probable that she worked to support the troops in some fashion. Thousands of women came to the camps as nurses, and some even worked on the battlefields. Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, is the most famous example of a woman who worked for the Union army as a nurse on the battlefields. Even in the rustic environment of the camps, women still wore the full dresses that were the standard costume for women at the time.
The following articles from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle present reports from the Army:
"From General Meade's Army" (August 7, 1863)
"Meade's and Lee's Armies" (October 17, 1863)
"Recent Army Movements" (November 12, 1863)

Because of limited surface water in reservoirs during a long term drought, this work aimed to locate clean and safe groundwater mixing with surface water for agricultural use in the Chianan plain, southwestern Taiwan subject to its hydrochemical parameters. Based on a standard of water quality for irrigation, multivariate indicator kriging (MVIK) was used to estimate integration of several hydrochemical parameters of groundwater mixing with surface water and to characterize spatial uncertainty. Different utilization ratios (UR) of groundwater regarded as multiple estimated thresholds significantly improved single-threshold drawbacks in previous studies. Recommended regions were determined under various groundwater utilization conditions according to probabilities estimated by MVIK. The analyzed results illustrate that groundwater plays a subordinate role in development of agricultural water resources in this plain. After proper dilution with surface water (UR = 0.5 and 0.25), approximately 48.9% of this plain can supply groundwater for irrigation. The northern, northeastern and eastern aquifers are excellent locations to extract groundwater mixing with equal or triple amounts of surface water. The research results provide agricultural administrators and farmers with simple guidelines to obtain sufficient and reliable water for maintaining sustainable production of crops during a long term drought.

This building is located at 181 East Broad Street, Columbus and has a long history associated with it. First built for Benjamin Smith, noted railroad contractor in the mid-nineteenth century, the house was temporarily the Ohio Governor's mansion in the 1880s, then sold to the Columbus Club, a group of prominent business leaders, in 1887. The contract for building his home provided that each of the bricks used in the structure was to be pressed in Philadelphia, wrapped separately in paper, and shipped to Columbus, Ohio.
The two-story mansard building is styled in the French Second Empire tradition with numerous ornamental elements such as round-headed mansard roof dormers, hoodmolds formed of rope molding with centered, stylized anthemion motifs, slate roof tiles, and intricately detailed paneled brick chimneys.
The interior captures Victorian style with a grand curving stairway, mantelpieces, and hardwood trimmed arched doorways.

Joining Multiple Inputs into One Output Sequence
Rajesh081725
Posted by Rajesh081725 under LINQ category on | Points: 40 | Views : 821
You can use a LINQ query to create an output sequence that contains elements from more than one input sequence. The following example shows how to combine two in-memory data structures, but the same principles can be applied to combine data from XML or SQL or DataSet sources. Assume the following two class types:
C#
class Student
{
public string First { get; set; }
public string Last {get; set;}
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Street { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public List<int> Scores;
}
class Teacher
{
public string First { get; set; }
public string Last { get; set; }
public int ID { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
}
The following example shows the query:
C#
class DataTransformations
{
static void Main()
{
// Create the first data source.
List<Student> students = new List<Student>()
{
new Student {First="Svetlana",
Last="Omelchenko",
ID=111,
Street="123 Main Street",
City="Seattle",
Scores= new List<int> {97, 92, 81, 60}},
new Student {First="Claire",
Last="O'Donnell",
ID=112,
Street="124 Main Street",
City="Redmond",
Scores= new List<int> {75, 84, 91, 39}},
new Student {First="Sven",
Last="Mortensen",
ID=113,
Street="125 Main Street",
City="Lake City",
Scores= new List<int> {88, 94, 65, 91}},
};
// Create the second data source.
List<Teacher> teachers = new List<Teacher>()
{
new Teacher {First="Ann", Last="Beebe", ID=945, City = "Seattle"},
new Teacher {First="Alex", Last="Robinson", ID=956, City = "Redmond"},
new Teacher {First="Michiyo", Last="Sato", ID=972, City = "Tacoma"}
};
// Create the query.
var peopleInSeattle = (from student in students
where student.City == "Seattle"
select student.Last)
.Concat(from teacher in teachers
where teacher.City == "Seattle"
select teacher.Last);
Console.WriteLine("The following students and teachers live in Seattle:");
// Execute the query.
foreach (var person in peopleInSeattle)
{
Console.WriteLine(person);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
Output:
The following students and teachers live in Seattle:

I have a vine-type plant that is growing on areas of my Jacaranda tree (me + the tree live in Australia). It has little leaves. The roots of the vine grow on the outer-layer of bark on the tree.
Does anyone know what it is and if it will cause any probs over time or hurt the tree in any way?

The plant is an orchid. They like to establish themselves on the bark of a tree, because they are an epiphytic plant. They like the shade that a tree provides. This plant will in no way harm that huge tree. Most plant lovers would be thrilled to have such a lovely plant given to them for free by nature. Good luck with plant.enter image description here

Bear Creek Dam and Reservoir (Bear Creek Lake) sits within Bear Creek Lake Park, a popular destination for Denver metro area residents for biking, camping, fishing, equestrian use, swimming and even archery. Bear Creek Lake sits at the confluence of Bear Creek and Turkey Creek and was completed in 1977 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The primary function of Bear Creek Lake is flood control. Following the 1965 floods that devastated the area, dams and reservoirs were planned to prevent future catastrophes. Bear Creek Lake can currently store more than 57,000 acre feet (AF) of water.
Much like the Chatfield Reservoir expansion currently underway, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) is looking to expand the storage of Bear Creek Lake in preparation for the doubling of the state's population anticipated by 2050. Colorado's Water Plan identified a water supply gap in the South Platte River Basin between 204,000 and 310,000 AF.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a reconnaissance study in 2015 to determine how much additional storage could be added to Bear Creek Lake without compromising its flood control capacity. The study concluded 20,000 AF of storage may be available for reallocation. Though the CWCB is in the initial stages of the storage reallocation project, they're pursuing committed partners to the project and environmental studies with the Corps of Engineers to investigate the reallocation.
For more information on the Bear Creek Lake Reallocation Project, contact the Colorado Water Conservation Board.

The issue of teacher preparation continues to occupy academic discourse relating to student outcomes and student achievement (Stronge, Ward & Grant, 2011). Research has supported the view that there is an inextricable connection between student outcomes, quality of teaching and teachers, and teacher preparation (Darling-Hammond 2005; Grover 2002). Similarly, theories about students' self efficacy beliefs (e.g. Bandura, 1977; Dweck, 2000) and Institutional Habitus (Bourdieu, 1977) have been advanced in relation to students' study experience, motivation and coping mechanisms. Using data from a focus group comprising 30 third year students enrolled in a four year teacher training pogramme in Jamaica, this paper discusses student-teachers' concerns about their training. The main findings from this small scale exploratory study indicated that student teachers' concerns were about the quality of teaching and teachers, curriculum organisation, content and delivery, and resources.

- the Ghegs resemble Kosovar Albanians in having a higher frequency of E1b1b1.
- Tosks on the other hand have a higher frequency of I.
- The high J2 frequency resembles Greeks, with the expected 10 to 1 or so ratio between J2 and J1, and is dissimilar from northwestern Balkan populations. Past studies have shown however, that J2b is dominant in Albanian, rather than J2a which is dominant in most Greek populations tested so far (although J2b is also represented).
- Similar frequencies to Greeks are also found in R1.
- There is also a relative paucity of G compared to Greeks, and limited introgression of Gypsy chromosomes (H1) in the main Albanian groups (Gheg and Tosk).

Y-STR variation in Albanian populations: implications on the match probabilities and the genetic legacy of the minority claiming an Egyptian descent
Gianmarco Ferri et al.
Y chromosome variation at 12 STR (the Powerplex® Y system core set) and 18 binary markers was investigated in two major (the Ghegs and the Tosks) and two minor (the Gabels and the Jevgs) populations from Albania (Southern Balkans). The large proportion of haplotypes shared within and between groups makes the Powerplex 12-locus set inadequate to ensure a suitable power of discrimination for the forensic practice. At least 85% of Y lineages in the Jevgs, the cultural minority claiming an Egyptian descent, turned out to be of either Roma or Balkan ancestry. They also showed unequivocal signs of a common genetic history with the Gabels, the other Albanian minority practising social and cultural Roma traditions.


text: Future advanced driver assistance systems will contain multiple sensors that are used for several applications, such as highly automated driving on freeways. The problem is that the sensors are usually asynchronous and their data possibly out-of-sequence, making fusion of the sensor data non-trivial. This paper presents a novel approach to track-to-track fusion for automotive applications with asynchronous and out-of-sequence sensors using information matrix fusion. This approach solves the problem of correlation between sensor data due to the common process noise and common track history, which eliminates the need to replace the global track estimate with the fused local estimate at each fusion cycle. The information matrix fusion approach is evaluated in simulation and its performance demonstrated using real sensor data on a test vehicle designed for highly automated driving on freeways.

As we have an increasing number of roofing clients, C&C Consulting has pledged its support behind the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) Safe2Torch campaign.
This simple but effective campaign seeks to significantly reduce the risk of roof fires when using gas torches, either to dry out roofs or when used to install torch-on membranes. Put simply, Safe2Torch is a positive message which puts safety first at the design stage.
Roof fires caused by gas torches, no matter how minor, pose a serious threat to life, property, the image of the industry and possibly even the long-term future of torch-on as an accepted method of covering a roof.
By completing a safe to torch survey during the planning stage of this type of roof work, surveyors and contractors can identify high risk areas in the building process where naked flames should be avoided. Listed below are some areas that should be considered high risk and where naked flames should be avoided:
Expansion joints: Expansion joints which are filled with combustible fillers, such as foam or fibreboard, should not come into contact with high heat or naked flame
Adjoining a pitched roof: If a membrane roof is adjoining a pitched roof with details to be completed under abutments to roof tiles and slates, the slates or tiles should be removed and a compatible torch-free product should be selected.
Abutments with open cavities or open perpends: A compatible torch-free product should be selected for any abutments with open cavities or open perpends.
Fixed timber, plastic fascia or soffits: Naked flames should be avoided where there is fixed timber, plastic fascia or soffits
Here are some key points to reduce the risk of starting a fire in roofing work:
- Survey the roof area, highlight on working drawings high risk areas and mark them clearly as No Flame Zones
- Ensure a hot works permit is prepared for the works and controls are effective in managing the risks
- Provide flameless alternative tools for use in the areas designated as No Flame Zones
- Ensure fire extinguishers are provided and deployed at the point of work. Ensure this equipment is fit for purpose, inspected and maintained
- Employ competent supervision on site, that is following the Safe Systems of Work and Safe2Torch guidance at all times
- Have effective emergency arrangements in place that ensure the site workers and potential occupants of the premises can take appropriate emergency action upon hearing an alarm etc.
Many of the items above are pre-requisites for a Safe System of Work relating to hot works on roofs; the Safe2Torch Campaign seeks to reduce the risk potential by identifying and removing naked flames from the areas where flames are more likely to take hold.

Prayer Times in Quran
After the testimony of Faith, Salah (prayer) is the second major pillar of Islam. So Salah is an obligation for every Muslim to perform it on time. Muslims from all across the globe perform Salah five times a day:
Like Ramadan, Hajj and Friday prayer, Salah is also one of the rituals that must be performed within the correct time frame. If a prayer is performed before the prescribed time, the Salah will not be accepted. One must repeat this prayer when the time comes. At the same time, people are disobedient when a prayer is made too late. Allah has ordered us in ayah 103 of Surah 4 to perform the prayers at least (there are some other conditions) within the right time in order to get a prayer accepted!
Calculation Method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert
The Calculation method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert is based on the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). This method is using 15 degrees for Angle of the sun under the horizon (Fajr) and 15 degrees Angle of the sun under the horizon (Isha). Parts of the USA, Canada, Parts of the UK use this method.
The difference between Standard and Hanafi
The only difference is in the Asr prayer. The schools of Shafii, Hanbali, and Maliki use this method and Asr time starts when the shadow of an object is equivalent to its height. In the Hanafi method the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is twice its height. We use the standard method, so If your local mosque is using the Hanafi method you need to change this at the general prayer times page.
Latitude, Longitude and Time zone of Saint-Norbert
To calculate the prayer times for Saint-Norbert, we need to know the latitude, longitude and the local timezone of Saint-Norbert. We try to detect the longitude, latitude and timezone of your current city or town automatically. If you face any difference in prayer timings according to your current location then please confirm the latitude and longitude first at the general prayer times page. In addition, you can also find a GPS functionality at this page. You can also adjust other settings for the calculation for the prayer times of Saint-Norbert. But please be careful!
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months (summer time), and back again in the fall (winter time), in order to make better use of natural strong daylight. The prayer times widget is adjusting the daylight savings automatically according to your location.
Are the Prayer Times in Saint-Norbert accurate?
We have explained above what calculation method is used to show the prayer times for Saint-Norbert. However, it is possible that your local mosque is using a different method. If this is the case then we recommend you to follow the prayer times of your local mosque. In addition, we would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to inform us by using the contact form about the differences so we can adjust the prayer times of Saint-Norbert.

Why should students with disabilities consider studying design fields?
According to Building a World Fit for People: Designers with Disabilities at Work, design itself is improved when individuals with disabilities participate as designers. Designers with disabilities found that "living with a disability while thinking about improving designed spaces had heightened their thoughtfulness, determination, maturity, problem-solving skills, empathy, aesthetic consciousness, kinesthetic awareness and social justice in design." The creativity they had developed to live well as an individual with a disability aided them in being successful in careers in design fields.
For students with disabilities interested in a creative career path, design fields like architecture, interior design, apparel design, landscape architecture, and graphic design can be great career choices. Design careers are creative fields that allow an individual to create work that fulfills others' needs, according to an article titled "What is Design?" by the Institute for Human Centered Design.
Inaccessible studio spaces and activities are often listed as reasons why some students with disabilities are not fully included or encouraged to pursue design. The incorporation of technology and universal design strategies can eliminate or minimize potential barriers so that students with all types of disabilities can participate and succeed in design classes.
For more information on careers in design fields and people with disabilities consult Why Design is a Good Fit for People with Disabilities.
AccessDesign has been developed in partnership with Access to Design Professions, Institute for Human Centered Design, (IHCD) Boston, MA and funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

Wat Chedi Luang (Wat Chotikaram)
Wat Chedi Luang houses the largest chedi in Chiang Mai. The temple is located right in the middle of the city and was built in the reign of King Saen Mueang Mak, the seventh king of Mengrai Dynasty. The 98-metre tall and 54-metre wide chedi was built in the reign of King Tilokkarat. The construction was completed in 1481. In 1545 the chedi was collapsed due to an earthquake during the reign of King Jiraprapa. The chapel in the front was built by Chao Khun Uba Lee Poramacharn (Sirichantathera) and Chao Kaeo Navarat in 1928. The magnificent methodological serpents ramble from the entrance of the chapel to its door on both sides.

Armed with $500 worth of beans, two women founded a non-profit group in Denver in 1989 to empower impoverished women by teaching them workplace skills and providing jobs to the chronically homeless and unemployed. Their training opportunities have expanded dramatically over the years, and their annual operating budget has grown from $6,100 to over $1.5 million.
The Women's Bean Project is a nonprofit organization that teaches job readiness and life skills for entry-level jobs through employment in a gourmet food production business. Women come with the goal of transforming their lives and moving toward self sufficiency.
SPENCER MICHELS: Now in its 20th year, the program employs 40 women each year who have been chronically unemployed and living in poverty. They make and package products such as soup, brownie mix, jelly beans, and salsas that are available in grocery stores in 40 states and over the Internet. But it's not the food that makes this program a complete package, says executive director Tamara Ryan.
TAMARA RYAN: We're not trying to make the best bean soup makers of America. What we're trying to do is create an environment where we can teach basic job readiness skills, the idea that you have to come to work every day, and on time, and manage conflict in the workplace, and dress appropriately, and take direction.
But then also we find that that alone isn't what helps women become successful. They're lacking basic life skills — problem-solving, goal-setting, the ability to, when your child care falls apart, to fix that and then continue to go to work.

Models include the Spinsolve Carbon, the world's first benchtop NMR Spectrometer capable of 13C NMR Spectroscopy.
Magritek also developed the Terranova-MRI, the world's first and only 3D MRI-capable teaching system for students and teachers in a normal laboratory environment. MRI experiments can now safely be done anywhere — the Terranova-MRI uses the Earth's magnetic field.

Thelema forms the core guiding principle for the OAV. Thelema is a philosophy put forth in The Book of Law by Aleister Crowley in 1904. The Book of Law was dictated to Crowley by a being called Aiwass and was described as the Law of the New Aeon.
Initiates read the Book of Law and through meditation and the practice of Magick determine what it means to them individually. It is regarded as forbidden to interpret the book for others. Thelema is generally regarded as a spiritual philosophy that emphasizes personal choice and personal responsibility.
One of the core concepts of Thelema is that each man or woman has a divine Will which they work to discover and accomplish. Thelema as a basis for ethical behavior is based on performing one's Will while not infringing upon anyone's right to do their Will. This is a sharp contrast to religions in which ethical behavior is defined by a series of rules and dogmas.
Generally, the Law of Thelema is summarized in the phrases:
Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the LawLove is the Law, Love Under Will

Reporting and responding to bullying
Park House English School aims to create an environment where students feel that they are able to report bullying incidents and where prompt decisive action will be taken. The safety of the student being bullied and the student reporting the bullying is paramount. The student will be informed of how the incident is being dealt with by the appropriate Key Stage Leader/Year Group Leader or their form tutor. Parents and Carers will be informed as appropriate. If a student is subject to any form of bullying behaviour or if they witness any form of bullying, they should report it to their form tutor, teacher, Key Stage Leader or the Head of Secondary.
Action prior to being placed on the Bullying Stages Form Tutor/Class Teacher speaks to the student to warn them that their behaviour could be seen as bullying behaviour and informs them of the consequences of continuing to behave in the same way.
The following stages will be taken in the case of bullying continuing:
- Key Stage Leader/Year Leader takes action.
- Detention set and parents informed in writing.
- This is recorded and placed on the students file
- Parents asked into school for a meeting with the Head of Secondary/Head of Primary and appropriate Key Stage Leader/Year Leader.
- Person bullying given an external exclusion for a fixed period of time.
- This is recorded and placed on the student's file
- Student and parents called to a meeting with the Head of Secondary/Head of Primary and or Headmaster.
- Person bullying given notice to leave the school permanently and with immediate effect.
The Headmaster will consider all issues when deciding on sanctions and in cases of severe bullying this may include alternative approaches to the stages described above.
Evaluation of the Anti-bullying policy
We will review the policy as part of Park House English School's self review process and put into place refinements which improve the effectiveness of the policy and anti-bullying provision.
Signs of Bullying
?Staff need to be alert to the signs of bullying which can take place within the school. These signs may include:
- Sudden changes in the behaviour and demeanour of students nearby.
- Sudden gatherings or flow of students in one or two directions.
- Sudden dispersal of groups when staff approach.
- Untidy clothes following a scuffle.
- Increased evidence of heightened tension, embarrassment, shouts, poor eye contact and wariness of staff.
- Evidence of excluding behaviour in class or around the college designed to isolate a student or group of students
- Students avoiding eye contact or other interaction with an individual student or groups of students around the school or in class
A student may indicate by signs or behaviour that they are being bullied. Parents/ Carers and staff should be aware of these possible signs and that they should investigate if a student:
- Is frightened of walking from car to the school.
- Does not want to go on the school bus or asks to change bus
- Begs to be driven to school
- Changes their usual routine
- Is unwilling to go to school
- Begins truanting
- Becomes withdrawn, anxious or lacking in confidence
- Shows signs of distress
- Cries themselves to sleep at night or has nightmares
- Feels ill in the morning
- School work deteriorates
- Misbehaves unexpectedly
- Comes home with clothes torn or books damaged.
- Has possessions which go 'missing.'
- Asks for money or starts stealing (to pay the bully)
- Loses money
- Has unexplained cuts or bruises
- Comes home very hungry despite taking lunch to school
- Becomes aggressive, disruptive or unreasonable
- Is bullying other children or siblings
- Stops eating
- Is frightened to say what is wrong
- Gives improbable excuses for any of the above


text: Climate change falls into theoretical and practical concerns of many disciplines ranging from natural to social sciences, engineering, urban planning, architecture and administrative sciences. Spatial planning can be an effective tool for climate mitigation and adaptation. Obviously, with regard to its spatial scale, the scope, content and form of the plan would vary in handling the phenomenon. For instance, while a strategic spatial plan would define a larger framework for climate sensitive action at regional and urban scales, an urban design scheme would describe building layout and codes for sun exposure, ventilation, shape and distribution of greenery, even the type of vegetation. It is important to take note that whatever the spatial scale is, planning for climate change should put an emphasis on energy efficiency, green infrastructure and sensible use of resources. A noteworthy approach in this regard is the use of urban climate maps that consist of significant guidelines for spatial planning. With the aim of understanding how local climatic conditions are paid attention in plan-making, the study first of all investigates this approach in different examples across the world. The second part, meanwhile, portrays the Turkish case. It elaborates the plan types in the Turkish planning system, and evaluates the climate-related perspective and content of these plan types. The study concludes with an evaluation of climate sensitive spatial planning, and reflects on how the plan types in Turkey can be improved in this respect.


Brushless Hammer And Brush Hammer Comparison
There are differences between Brushless Hammer And Brush Hammer.
1. service life: the service life of the motor without carbon brush hammer is usually in the order of tens of thousands of hours. The continuous working life of the motor with carbon brush hammer is in the hundreds to more than one thousand hours. When it reaches the limit of use, it needs to replace the carbon brush, otherwise it is easy to wear the bearing, and the service life is not as good as the brushless motor.
2. maintenance cost: there is a carbon brush hammer need to replace the carbon brush, if the replacement is less than will cause damage to the motor, and no carbon brush hammer service life is very long, but the broken need to replace the motor, but the basic daily maintenance does not need.
3. controllability: no carbon brush hammer is usually controlled by digital frequency conversion, with carbon brush hammer generally start after the working speed is constant.
Extended information
The rotor of the motor acts as a rotating magnet. If the brushes are too worn, the excitation current cannot reach the rotor, there is no rotating magnetic field, and therefore it cannot operate properly. The mechanical friction and large current between the brush and the collector ring generate a lot of heat. At the same time, the collector ring device is limited by the shafting condition and the cooling mode, and the cooling condition is relatively poor. The heat on the collector ring device is relatively concentrated and the temperature is relatively high.
Brushless DC motor is a typical mechatronics product, which is composed of motor body and driver. A magnetized permanent magnet is glued to the rotor of the motor. In order to detect the polarity of the motor rotor, a position sensor is installed in the motor. The driver is composed of power electronic devices and integrated circuits.

Eventual consistency is everywhere. DNS is the canonical example, but it's becoming more important in mobile applications with sporadic connectivity and databases with high availability requirements. One of the difficulties with these systems is resolving conflicting writes. Some cases allow for last-write-wins, but other domains require a mechanism which doesn't lose data. knockbox is an open source Clojure project that takes data-structure implementations that support automatic conflict resolution, and wraps them up to be used just like any other Clojure seq, set, or map. This talk will explore the motivation behind knockbox, the data-structures themselves, using knockbox with Riak, and issues like garbage collection and synchronization.

Reformation Wall, Monument International de la Réformation – Mur de la Réformation
Built into one of the old walls of Geneva, overlooking Le Parc des Bastions on the site of the university of Geneva founded by John Calvin, the Reformation Wall standing 5m high and 100m long, depicts main individuals, scenes and documents of the Protestant Reformation, in statues and bas-reliefs.
The centre of the monument features four 5m statues of:
- Theodore Beza, the successor to John Calvin (_PHONE_)
- John Calvin, the leader of the Reformation movement and spiritual father to Geneva (_PHONE_)
- William Farel, the first to preach the Reformation in Geneva (_PHONE_)
- John Knox, friend of John Calvin and founder of the Scottish Presbyterians (_PHONE_)
To the left of these central statues are three 3m statues of:
- Gaspard de Coligny, leader of the French Huguenots (_PHONE_)
- William the Silent, more well known as William I of Orange, father of the Netherlands and saviour of Calvinism in the low countries (_PHONE_)
- Frederick William Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia creator of the Brandenburg Tolerance Edict.
The three 3m statues to the right of the centre are:
- Roger Williams, English Puritan and Pilgrim Father (_PHONE_)
- Oliver Cromwell, English military and political leader favouring religious tolerance to all Protestants and anti-Royalist (_PHONE_)
- Stephen Bocskay, Hungarian Calvinist nobleman (_PHONE_)
Engraven along the wall is the motto of the Reformation and Geneva, Post Tenebras Lux, After Darkness Light. The Christogram forming the abbreviation of Jesus Christ ΙΗΣ, is on the pedestal of the centre statues.
Along the wall are also reliefs depicting:
- An inscription commemorating Geneva's official acceptance of the Reformation, 21 May 1536.
- Frederick William Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia creator of the Brandenburg Tolerance Edict giving equal rights to Lutherans and Calvinists and the Potsdam Edict giving safety of passage to Brandenburg-Prussia to Huguenots after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (_PHONE_).
- William 1 of Orange, or the silent became the main leader of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish that commenced the Eighty Years War (1568–1648). The formal declaration of independence of the northern Low Countries from the Spanish king was signed on 26 July 1581.
- King Henry IV (of Navarre) signing the Edict of Nantes (1598), which ended the Wars of Religion in France.
- Preaching of the Reformation to the people of Geneva in the presence of envoys from Bern. Above is an inscription of the Lord's Prayer in French.
- John Knox preaching against Queen Mary Stuart from his pulpit in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh. Above is an inscription of the Lord's Prayer in English.
- Roger Williams and the Pilgrim Fathers praying on the Mayflower as it sails to America. Above is an inscription of the Mayflower Compact (1620).
- The British Parliament presenting the Bill of Rights, an act declaring the rights and liberties of the subjects, also the settling the succession of the crown, to William and Mary, Prince and Princess of Orange in 1689.
- Bocskay bringing the signed treaty of Vienna to the Diet of Kassa. Sadly Bocskay died (probably of poisoning) just a few days after this event.
Martin Luther (German reformer) and Ulrich Zwingli (Swiss reformer) have significantly less prominent memorials at the sides of the wall, (Calvin had disagreed with them on some points).
All these great men featured in the Reformation Wall were separated in the providence of God to execute a work as the two witnesses of Revelation 11, irrespective to their moral relation to the gospel. They have been a hostile opponent to the beast power – the Catholic system. They have witnessed in the many religious wars – wars for liberty against the rule of Popes, emperors, kings, priests, bearing witness for civil and religious liberty, devouring their enemies with fire and the sword and have been a light before God to enlighten nations. Yet there is a third party that is distinct from them, distinct from both the earth and the woman classes of the two witnesses – it is the remnant of her seed – the one body of Christ holding the one faith, the one hope, the one Lord, the one spirit, the one baptism and the one God and Father.
What of mainstream Protestantism today? Are they still witnessing against the Catholic system? We think not. It is of utmost importance what you believe and the manner in which that belief influences you life; we only have one life opportunity to work out our destiny. Where does your destiny lie? May you find the answer in the God's word the Bible.

Gasum is a Finnish gas expert whose main goal is to develop the Nordic gas ecosystem with determination and responsibility. Gasum aims to promote the development of a clean and carbon-neutral movement of people and goods on land and at sea. The operation is based on importing natural gas to Finland and promoting the circular economy through waste treatment and biogas production. In addition, Gasum produces recycled nutrients in Finland and Sweden.
In order to measure the amount of gas moving in Gasum's ever-expanding gas network, first-class flow meters are needed to ensure unambiguous readings. These meters are calibrated in Gasum's own accredited laboratory at the Kouvola office. Calibration is performed under well-defined conditions to minimise margins of error. These conditions are monitored with Nokeval wireless transmitters that measure air temperature, humidity and pressure. The readings are sent to the monitoring system both as individual measurement points and as a summary to facilitate comparison.
"Monitoring allows the effects of outdoor temperature to be taken into account in the calibration."
Gasum also monitors the dew point, which is automatically calculated by the calculation formula added to the Ovaport monitoring program. Thanks to wireless monitoring, the amount of manual work has been minimised and important condition monitoring reports are always readily available in a structured format.
Gasum Tekniikka Oy, Flow Laboratory is a calibration laboratory K051 accredited by the FINAS Accreditation Service, accreditation requirement EN ISO/IEC 17025. The competence range of the flow laboratory includes the calibration of turbine and rotary piston meters in the measuring range of 1 m3/h – 10 000 m3/h. Other calibration or maintenance activities performed by the flow laboratory are not accredited.

According to Greek mythology it is said that the city was founded by Acrisius, who was killed accidentally by his grandson, Perseus.[3] There lived Peleus, the hero beloved by the gods, and his son Achilles.
In this paragraph, Homer shows that the Pelasgians, Trojan allies, used to live in the city of Larissa. It is contradictory because Larissa was also the birthplace of Achilles, the sworn enemy of Trojans.

Traces of Paleolithic human settlement have been recovered from the area, but it was peripheral to areas of advanced culture.[6] The area around Larissa was extremely fruitful; it was agriculturally important and in antiquity was known for its horses.
The name Larissa (Λάρισα Lárīsa) is in origin a Pelasgian (pre-Greek) word for "fortress". There were many ancient Greek cities with this name.[7] The name of Thessalian Larissa is first recorded in connection with the aristocratic Aleuadai family.[8]

In the 8th century, the city became the metropolis of the theme of Hellas.[10] The city was captured in 986 by Tsar Samuel of Bulgaria, who carried off the relics of its patron saint, Saint Achilleios, to Prespa.[10] It was again unsuccessfully besieged by the Normans under Bohemond I in 1082/3.[10]
After the Fourth Crusade, the King of Thessalonica, Boniface of Montferrat, gave the city to Lombard barons, but they launched a rebellion in 1209 that had to be subdued by the Latin Emperor Henry of Flanders himself.[10] The city was recovered by Epirus soon after.[10]
It was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1386/87 and again in the 1390s, but only came under permanent Ottoman control in 1423, by Turahan Bey.[11] Under Ottoman rule, the city was known as Yeni-şehir i-Fenari, "new citadel". As the chief town and military base of Ottoman Thessaly, Larissa was a predominantly Muslim city.[11] The town was noted for its trade fair in the 17th and 18th centuries, while the seat of the pasha of Thessaly was also transferred there in 1770.[11] The city remained in Ottoman hands until Thessaly became part of the independent Greek kingdom in 1881, except for a period where Ottoman forces re-occupied it during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897.[11]
Modern Greek era[edit]

Ecclesiastical history[edit]
Christianity penetrated early to Larissa, though its first bishop is recorded only in 325 at the Council of Nicaea. St. Achillius of the 4th century, is celebrated for his miracles. Lequien[12] cites twenty-nine bishops from the fourth to the 18th centuries; the most famous is Jeremias II, who occupied the see until 733, when the Emperor Leo III the Isaurian transferred it from the jurisdiction of the Pope of Rome to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. In the first years of the 10th century it had ten suffragan sees;[13] subsequently the number increased and about the year 1175 under the Emperor Manuel I Comnenus, it reached twenty-eight.[14] At the close of the 15th century, under the Turkish domination, there were only ten suffragan sees,[15] which gradually grew less and finally disappeared.
Larissa is an Orthodox Metropolis of the Church of Greece and remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.

WPF – 2D Graphics
WPF provides a wide range of 2D graphics which can end up being enhanced as per your own application requirements. WPF supinterfaces both Draearng and Shape objects thead wear are used for draearng graphical content.
Shapes and Draearng
 - Shape clbum is derived from the FrameworkElement clbum, Shape objects can end up being used inside panels and the majority of controls.
 - WPF provides a few fundamental form objects which are derived from the Shape clbum such as Ellipse, Line, Path, Polygon, Polycollection, and Rectangle.
 - Draearng objects, on the other hand, do not derive from the FrameworkElement clbum and provide a lighter-weight implementation.
 - Draearng objects are easyr as compareddish coloured to Shape objects. They have end up beingtter performance charbehaveeristics as well.
Example
Let's consider a easy example to belowstand how to use various forms object.
 - Create a brand new WPF project with the name WPF2DGraphics.
 - The folloearng code produces various kinds of forms.
<Window x:Clbum = "WPF2DGraphics.MainWindow"

We recommend thead wear you execute the above code and attempt more 2D forms and draearngs.
WPF – 3D Graphics
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides a functionality to draw, transform, and animate 3D graphics as per your own application requirement. It doesn't supinterface compallowe fladvantage 3D game producement, but to a few level, you can produce 3D graphics.
By combining 2D and 3D graphics, you can also produce wealthy controls, provide complex illustrations of data, or enhance the user experience of an application's interface. The Vieearnterface3D element hosts a 3D model into our WPF application.
Example

BACKGROUND: Emotional memory is a critical amygdala-dependent cognitive function characterized by enhanced memory for emotional events coupled with retrograde amnesia. Our study aims to assess the influence of bipolar disorder (BD), trauma, and the number of mood episodes on emotional memory. METHODS: 53 subjects (33 euthymic patients with BD and 20 healthy controls) answered a clinical assessment, childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ), and an emotional memory test composed of lists of nouns, including neutral words, one emotional (E), one preceding (E-1) and one following word (E + 1). We assessed for the influence of type, position, diagnosis, trauma, and number of mood episodes in word recall using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS: Controlling for neutral words, BD had a higher recall for E-1 (p = 0.038) and a trend for a higher recall of E (p = 0.055). There was no difference between patients with and without trauma. Patients with BD who suffered multiple mood episodes had a higher recall of E compared to patients with fewer episodes (p = 0.016). LIMITATIONS: Cross-sectional design and small sample size. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate dysfunction in emotional memory in patients with BD, particularly after multiple mood episodes. While we expected an impaired emotional memory, patients with BD showed an increased recall for emotional stimuli and events preceding them. Childhood trauma does not seem to interfere with emotional memory changes in patients with BD. Emotional memory enhancement seems to be a promising marker of progression in BD.

The surname labbel was first used as a surname by the people of ancient French region of Gascogne
. It was a name for a person distinguished by great physical beauty. Interestingly, the name labbel was originally derived from the Old French words la belle, which means beautiful.
Early Origins of the labbel family
The surname labbel was first found in Gascony (French: Gascogne), an area of southwest France bordering Spain
, that was part of the "Province of Guyenne and Gascony" prior to the French Revolution, where they held a family seat
in the honor of the seigneurie of De Labels, a village in the Basses-Pyrénées in the arrondisement of de Mauléon.
The Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae also lists Le Bel in Normandy in 1189. CITATION[CLOSE]
The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States Of America. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1975. Print. (ISBN 0-8063-0636-X) One of the earliest notables of the family was Jean Le Bel (c. _PHONE_), a Flemish chronicle and soldier. He was one of the first chroniclers to write in French instead of Latin. As a soldier, he joined with Jean, Count de Beaumont on his travels to England and Scotland in 1327.
Early History of the labbel family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our labbel research.Another 125 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1650, 1573, 1674, 1734, 1703, 1696 and 1768 are included under the topic Early labbel History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
labbel Spelling Variations
French surnames were subject to numerous alterations in spelling because of the various cultural groups that inhabited specific regions. Eventually, each region possessed its own local
dialect of the French language. The early development of the French language, however, was also influenced by other languages. For example, Old French was infused with Germanic words and sounds when barbarian tribes invaded and settled in France after the fall of the Roman Empire
. Middle French also borrowed heavily from the Italian language during the Renaissance
. As a result of these linguistic and cultural influences, the name labbel is distinguished by a number of regional variations. The many spelling variations
of the name include Lebel, LeBel, LaBelle, Belle, Bell, Labelle, Label, LaBell, LaBel, LeBelle, LeBaile, LaBaile, Lebaile and many more.
Early Notables of the labbel family (pre 1700)
Notable amongst the family at this time was Firmin Lebel (d. 1573), French composer and choir director; Alexis-Simon Belle (_PHONE_), French painter, member of well known family of painters... Another 29 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early labbel Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the labbel family to the New World and Oceana
In 1643, 109 years after the first landings by Cartier, there were only about 300 people in Quebec. Migration was slow. The fur trade attracted migrants, both noble and commoner. By 1675, there were 7000 French in Quebec. By the same year the French Acadian presence in the Maritimes had reached 500. The French founded Lower Canada, thus becoming one of the two great founding nations of Canada. The family name labbel has made many distinguished contributions in France and New France to the world of science, culture, religion, and education. Amongst the settlers in North America with this distinguished name labbel were Nicolas Lebel who arrived in Quebec from Normandy
in 1657; Pierre Lebel arrived in Quebec from Ile-de-France in 1724; Guillaume LaBelle arrived in Quebec from Normandy

How Plants Are Named
Tagged as: scientific names
Common or Trade Names
Plants can have many different common names. Depending on where it grows, the same plant may have many different regional names. It may also have other common names in other countries in which it grows. For example the plant we know as serviceberry is also known as sarvisberry, shadbush, shadblow, saskatoon, Junebush, and Juneberry depending on in what part of North America it is growing. The common dandelion is also known as blowball, canker wort, Irish daisy, leotodon taraxacum, lion's tooth, puffball, and wild endive in various English speaking countries. It also is know as dent de lion or pissenlit vulgaire in France, Löwenzahn in German, dente-de-leão in Portuguese, achicoria amarga, amargón or diente de león in Spanish, and there are many others.
Making common names even more confusing is the fact that a single common name can be applied to many different kinds of plants which may not even be remotely related to it. For example, the plant we know as bluebells belongs to the group of plants known to the scientific community as Campanula. The common name bluebells has also been applied to plants belonging to Hyacinthoides (Europe), Endymion (Asia), Polemonium, Mertensia, Penstemon (North America), and Wahlenbergia (Australia).
Trade names are special names with legal standing that are protected by laws. These are designated by the trademark™ and registered trademark® symbols. Examples of trade names are: Camelot ® crabapple, Celebration ® maple, Royal Heritage ™ hellebore. The place to go for more information about trademarks is the US Patent and Trademark Office website: _URL_.
Botanical or Scientific Names
Unlike common names, botanical or scientific names are applied to only one kind of plant. They typically consist of two words; the first is called the genus name the second the species name. Together they define a single unique type of plant. This system of using binomials or two names to describe a specific plant was begun in the 18th century by the famous Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus. Since that time, botanists and taxonomists (people who study plants and their classification and naming) have developed a system of international rules that determine how these names are created and used. This set of rules is called the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
These rules set out how a scientific name is created, used and printed. A scientific name should be in italics or underlined. The genus name always begins with a capital letter, and the rest of the name is always in lower case letters. These names are in Latin, or are Latinized. A person's name following the scientific name is the name of the person who first described the plant using that name. For example our common white oak is known as Quercus alba L. The genus name for oaks is Quercus. The species name for white oak is alba, and the author of the combination describing white oak Quercus alba is Carl Linnaeus which is abbreviated as the letter L. Occasionally you may find the letter x or the multiplication sign used in a scientific name. This signifies that the plant is a cross of hybrid derivation. Acer x freemanii is a cross between silver and red maple. Quercus x bebbiana is a cross between bur oak and white oak, x Amelosorbus or ×Amelosorbus is a cross between Amelanchier and Sorbus.
In some cases a sub-group of the name is created. In these cases scientists use a threepart name using a special abbreviation to show what kind of plant sub-group is being described: ssp. (subspecies), var. (variety) or f. (forma). Of these, subspecies and varieties pertain to different sub-groups of a plant that are tied to geography. A forma pertains to a variation that can occur anywhere in the range of a plant. For example; Cercis canadensis var. texensis refers to the sub-group of our common redbud tree that is found growing in Texas. The name Cercis canadensis f. alba refers to a sub-group of our common redbud tree that blooms with white flowers rather that the more typical pink flowers.
Horticulturists have created special names for individual plants with unique characteristics called cultivars. A cultivar name is always printed in normal type and is enclosed in single quotes. For example; Quercus alba 'Fastigiata' is the name of an narrow, upright growing form of our white oak. The letters PP followed by a number signify that the plant has been patented. The place to go for more information about plant patents is the US Patent and Trademark Office website: _URL_.
The words that make up the scientific name of a plant all mean something. They are Latin or Latinized words. Sometimes they are the old Roman name for a particular kind of plant (Acer, Cornus, Quercus), Latinized words of other languages are also used especially Greek names (Scilla, Artemisia, Pyrethrum), descriptive names or terms (alba-white, laciniata-cut, sanguinea-blood-red), or names of people for which the plant was named (Forsythia, Fothergilla, Magnolia). Finding out with the words of a scientific name mean can be fun, and enlightening. A trip to the Sterling Morton Library will get you started on how and why plants are named.
Even though scientific or botanical names may seem daunting, we use them every day without knowing it. Aster, chrysanthemum, forsythia, fothergilla, magnolia, narcissus, protea, rhododendron, sansevieria, scilla, and sorghum are a few examples of the scientific names for plants that we grow in our yards, gardens, or in our houses and use in our everyday language.

If you've managed to sell your car, your next step is to transfer the car title. This process requires a bit of paperwork, but should not be too complicated as long as you know how it works. In this blog post, you will learn what a car title is, how to transfer one, the documentation required for transfer, how to transfer a car title to a family member, and more.
A car title is a legal document that proves vehicle ownership. Every state requires a driver to possess a car title to own and operate a vehicle. A car title contains information including the owner's first and last name, mailing address, the vehicle identification number (VIN), make and model of the vehicle, license plate number, and odometer reading. In most states, vehicle loan lenders retain the car title until the debt is paid in full, after which the title is given to the car owner.
You will need to transfer a car title if your vehicle is changing ownership, which might happen in any of the following situations:
The process for transferring a car title varies by state, but often requires just two steps:
In some states, the title transfer must be completed within a certain time period (usually 15 to 30 days), or else the buyer will accrue fees. Learn about car title transfers in all 50 states here.
The most important piece of documentation needed to transfer a car title is, of course, the title. But some states may require the vehicle's bill of sale, as well as a title application filled out by the car buyer. This can be done through the mail but maybe quicker in person at the DMV.
In most cases, you don't need to worry about transferring a car title if you are going through a car dealership. But if you're selling your vehicle to a dealership, you may also need to file a vehicle transfer notification at your local DMV.
Some people may not realize that if a family member's name is not on a car's title, they are not legally authorized to drive the vehicle. So, if you're gifting your old car to a teen with a brand-new driver's license or receiving a vehicle through inheritance, be sure to transfer the title as soon as possible. In cases like these, there is usually no transfer of money, which makes the process a bit more complicated.
To transfer your car title to a family member, that person must be legally considered an immediate family member. This classification includes children, spouses, siblings, parents, grandparents, and grandchildren. From there, you will need to present all or some of the following documentation at your DMV:
Looking to transfer a car title to a family member residing in a different state? In this case, the process is slightly more complicated, because it involves two different DMVs. Rules vary in almost every state, so before you begin the title transfer process, be sure of the following:
Transferring a car title can be a complicated process, especially if you're transferring a vehicle out of state. Whether you are buying a new vehicle or trading in your old one, Dick Hannah Honda can handle all the time-consuming paperwork for you. Contact us today at _PHONE_ to learn more.Contact Us

About Nathan Pusey (_PHONE_)
Lawrence's tenth president, Nathan Marsh Pusey, was hired because of his excellent teaching credentials and his vision to make Lawrence a much better institution than her peers. Born in 1907 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Pusey earned A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University. He served as sophomore tutor at Lawrence from 1935 to 1938 under the administration of Henry Wriston. After six years of successful teaching of ancient history at Scripps College and Wesleyan University, Pusey returned to Lawrence as president.
Pusey's tenure included the building of the Memorial Student Union and the Worcester Art Center (predecessor to the Wriston Art Center). His most lasting legacy, however, was his creation of Freshman Studies, the course that still introduces students to the concept of liberal learning today. While the list of works studied in the course has become more inclusive, there have been only a few modifications in course structure since Pusey introduced it in the fall of 1945.
In 1953, Harvard University enticed Pusey away from Lawrence to become their twenty-fourth president. He died on November 14, 2001 at age 94.
About the artist
R.K. Fletcher (Richmond K.) was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1885. Known for his painting of coastal scenes, Fletcher also excelled in portraiture, music composition, and architectural design. A graduate of Harvard, Fletcher's artwork is in the collection of the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, Massachusetts. Two portraits of New Hampshire governors painted by Fletcher hang in that statehouse. Fletcher died in 1965.
Bachrach Portrait Photographers of Newton, Massachusetts photographed Henry Wriston shortly after his assumption of the presidency of Brown University. Bachrach then contracted with R.K. Fletcher to paint a portrait of Wriston from this photographic likeness. In April 1941, Bachrach sent the portrait to then President Thomas Barrows at Lawrence, with the suggestion that Lawrence University purchase the Wriston portrait. After months of haggling over the cost (Fletcher would not budge from the $550 original pricetag), various trustees, alumni, and friends donated enough money to purchase the painting.
While records are incomplete, it appears that the Board of Trustees chose Fletcher to paint Pusey's portrait because they were pleased with the Wriston likeness. George Banta, Jr., a member of the Board who was instrumental in hiring Pusey, donated the $1,100 necessary to buy the portrait in 1953.

The Skylanders are legendary heroes and champions in the world of Skylands, as well as the only playable characters in the Skylanders series. Their ancient mission is to protect Skylands, and its magical Core of Light, a great machine that repelled The Darkness, the ultimate force behind all evil. Using their magical powers and machinery, the Skylanders defended their world for generations, keeping peace and balance.
At one point, Kaos banished many of the Skylanders to Earth, while others arrived by different means. Far away from the magic of Skylands, they shrunk and turned into immobile figures, requiring a Portal of Power in order to return to Skylands and come back to life.
Recruited by Portal Masters or graduated from Skylanders Academy, a new Skylander's image is engraved onto The Book of Skylanders and is bound to it.
Each Skylander has their own unique personality. They are freedom fighters in spirit, living for action and their love for battle. United by their unique abilties and loyalty to their leader, Master Eon, as well to each other, family, and friends, the Skylanders all share the purpose and destiny to protecting Skylands from all things evil.[1]
Each Skylander wields a single element: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Magic, and Tech. In addition, each Skylander is weak against one certain element in the Battle Arena: Earth is weak against Air, which is weak against Fire, which is weak against Water, which is weak against Life, which is weak against Undead, which is weak against Magic, which is weak against Tech, which is weak against Earth.
It was said that the Giants were the original Skylanders, and the first to exist. The Giants battled against the tyrannical Arkeyans for the freedom of Skylands. In a final battle against the Arkeyans, the Giants were shot to Earth as a form of sacrifice, where they've been buried underground ever since. As the years passed, the enormous Skylanders were soon considered as a myth.
Time went on, and many brave Skylanders helped protect Skylands from all things evil, and protecting the Core of Light from the forces of darkness. Despite the fact that the Skylanders come from different realms and worlds, each know that it is their destiny to use their abilities to protect Skylands.
The Skylanders have an unbreakable bond with their Portal Masters. Though they are not servants, the Skylanders chose to serve their Portal Master and do so eagerly.
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
For generations, the Skylanders worked with the Portal Masters in keeping peace and balance in their world, battling the forces of darkness, and protecting the Core of Light. The Skylanders were previously led by the veteran Portal Master, Master Eon, who was their leader, until The Darkness returned one day. Seeing the incoming threat, Eon called upon six of the Skylanders to prepare for battle as the evil Portal Master, Kaos, returned from his exile to once again attempt to destroy the Core of Light and rule Skylands as its emperor. By Eon's command, the Skylanders fought valiantly against Kaos's dark forces, but as they were winning the struggle, Kaos released his Hydra, who successfully destoyed the Core of Light in a devastating blast.
Shortly after the Core's destruction, all of the Skylanders were banished from Skylands to Earth, where they were turned into toys as a result of Earth bearing no magic, and waited for a new Portal Master to find them. Although Master Eon survived the destruction of the Core of Light, he became a spirit and was unable to fight Kaos and The Darkness, leaving the duty of leading the Skylanders to the new, young Portal Master. After Master Eon recruited the new Portal Master, the Skylanders made their suprising return to Skylands, arriving on the Shattered Island to save its Mabu inhabitants from a freak tornado that was ravaging their village. The heroes then began their quest to save Skylands from Kaos' tyranny with the new Portal Master guiding them.
After Kaos's defeat in his lair, three of the Skylanders (Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Trigger Happy) returned to the Ruins with the captive Kaos, and Hugo later banished the evil Portal Master to Earth where he was shrunk and turned into a toy. However, Master Eon hinted to the new Portal Master that the journey with their Skylanders was only the beginning.
Alternate History
Group shot Academy.jpg
In Skylanders Academy's canon, the Skylanders were founded entirely by Master Eon, who opened the Skylanders Academy after the terrible events of the Great War and the growing threats of powerful villains. In this continuity, the first few Skylanders are characters from several different groups of the game's story, including Ka-Boom, Snap Shot, Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz; even after decades they continue to protect the realm through heroic deeds and important jobs as professors or prison wardens. Over the years, many cadets have taken their courses, and those who are prepared enough to suceed in the Skylander Games are honored with their position on the Skylanders team, bound forever to The Book of Skylanders.
The current core team of the Skylanders is known as Team Spyro, being the primary group to answer to missions in nearby regions, both to defend others from evil acts, or offer a variety of services. The group is formed by newly graduated Skylanders, Spyro, Stealth Elf and Eruptor, and by veterans Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz.
As of Season 2, age has started catching up to many of the veteran Skylanders, many who have already retired or do so during the show's events.
List of Skylanders
There are many Skylanders who have caught Master Eon's attention and joined the cause to battle the dark forces who threaten the world of Skylands. The famous purple dragon himself even joined the ranks, becoming leader of the modern-day Skylanders.
This list shows only the Skylanders from Spyro's Adventure and the Skylanders who have interacted with Spyro. To see the updated list of Skylanders, please go to the Skylanders page over at the Skylanders Wikia.
The Main Skylanders
Additional Skylanders
 - In the series' marketing, Skylanders that do not belong to any specific team are called Core Skylanders.
 - Possibly as a pun, Team Spyro in Skylanders Academy is known as the core Skylander team, both for being the first to be called to missions and for being composed entirely of Core Skylanders.
 - There is at least one dragon Skylander in every element, four of which are hybrids between dragons and another species (Whirlwind, Sunburn, Camo, and High Five).
 - The Light and Dark dragons (Spotlight and Blackout) are the only Core Skylanders of their respective elements.
 - All of the Skylanders originally spoke their own gibberish languages in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, but as the project went on, Toys for Bob decided to give fourteen of them actual English lines.[2]
 - As of Skylanders: Giants, every Skylander can speak full English lines, though some kept lines in gibberish in their attacks.
 - All Spyro's Adventure Skylanders have at least one (and some as many as four) unique animations that only run when they're getting upgraded. They are some of the most complex and creative animations in the game. However, in recent games, no Skylander has animations when being upgraded.
 - When a Skylander travels through a portal, it is usual for them to yell out a fierce battle cry when they appear. In fact, every year, there is a contest to see whose battle cry is the loudest; the most frightening, and the best for making milk shoot out from people's noses.
 - When Skylanders are defeated in battle, they do not die but are instantly teleported back home where they can heal and rest.
 - In Skylanders: Swap Force and onward, Toys for Bob and Vicarious Visions used generic names for all the new Skylanders before the final names were decided upon.[3] In newer games, some Skylanders keep these placeholder names in the in-game files even after their debut, though most are eventually updated.
 - With the exception of Spyro's Adventure, each main Skylanders game introduces a new group of Skylanders that are the title characters.
 - Most Skylanders have no known family or are not mentioned to be in frequent contact with them, possibly for their protection. The only ones known to stay in touch with them are Sonic Boom and her children, Eye-Brawl and the eyeball's brothers including Dive-Clops, Ignitor and his mother [4], and Bad Juju and her son Juju Junior.
 - Though Skylanders are not mentioned to retire in the main series, in Skylanders Academy, many have retired and left their weapons at the Relics Room to make way for a younger generation. [5] Specifically, Ninjini and Snap Shot are known retirees that still live near the Academy.
 - Also in Skylanders Academy, the Skylanders have a holiday named after them.

Israel's Draconian Infiltration Law
Written by Subject: Israel
Israel's Draconian Infiltration Law - by Stephen Lendman
On January 10, Haaretz writer Jonathan Lis headlined, "Knesset passes (Law to Prevent Infiltration) that could put asylum seekers in jail without trial," saying:
"The bill would make 'illegal' migrants and asylum seekers liable to jail, without trial or deportation, if caught staying in Israel for 'long periods.' "
Moreover, anyone helping them or providing shelter faces five to 15 years in prison for being a good samaritan. Avoiding it involves proving they didn't know the refugee lacked residency status and wasn't guilty of alleged criminality.
Netanyahu and extremists around him sponsored the bill. It followed a similar July 2010 proposal, dropped after widespread criticism.
The measure amends the 1954 Law to Prevent Infiltration. Limited to emergency conditions, it specifically targeted Palestinian and other Arab Fedayeen freedom fighters.
The new measure targets refugees and asylum seekers and families. Minimally, they'll be imprisoned for three years. However, detentions may be extended indefinitely.
The law only allows judicial oversight by an administrative court after 14 days. It's forbidden to release detainees sooner than three years except under very hard to prove extraordinary humanitarian circumstances.
The bill's previous version mandated life sentences for refugees and asylum seekers convicted of property damage, including offenses as minor as graffiti. Persons providing aid faced five to 15 year sentences.
The Association for Civil Rights (ACRI) in Israel called the 2010 measure "one of the most dangerous bills ever presented in the Knesset." Despite softening, its new version remains brazenly draconian, undemocratic and shameful.
ACRI calls it "draconian and immoral, and its entire purpose is to deter refugees from entering Israel. The law blatantly disregards Israel's most basic commitments as a member of the community of nations and as a signatory to the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees."
In 2010, ACRI explained "lies and reality" in the bill's original version. It main provisions included:
- imprisoning legitimate asylum seekers for five years to life;
- incarcerating Darfur, Sudan refugees for seven years to life;
- those entering with weapons faced minimal 20 year sentences, including for having an ordinary pocket knife;
- organizations or individuals providing medical care, food or water, legal help, and/or shelter were criminally liable;
- those caught entering could be summarily deported to war zones or nations with notorious human rights records;
- if not immediately deported, imprisonment or indefinite detentions followed;
- judicial review was prohibited for two weeks or longer; and
- women and children would be treated like men.
The bill's sole purpose is to deter refugees and asylum seekers from entering Israel for any purpose. In addition, migrant worker residents can be imprisoned for three years to life for misdemeanor type offenses.
Before passage, Hadash party MK Dov Khenin called the bill "dangerous, immoral, unconstitutional and contrary to the law of human dignity and freedom. It runs contrary to Israel's international commitments, and the Knesset should reject it out of hand."
Israel's Disturbing History
Israel's inhospitable history is appalling. Jews alone are welcome. International law stipulates otherwise. Article I of the 1951 UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees calls them:
The UN's High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is mandated to help them. To gain legal protection, they must:
- be outside their country of origin;
- fear persecution;
- be harmed or fear harm by their government or others;
- fear persecution for at least one of the above reasons; and
- pose no danger to others.
The Knesset's 1950 Law of Return grants all Jews worldwide the right to citizenship and residency. Yet no refugee law exists, despite Israel being a signatory to the UN's 1951 Convention.
Among Western states, Israel is least hospitable to refugees and asylum seekers. At best, some get temporary limited stays. Most often, they're summarily denied, including those with legitimate persecution fears.
Although legally mandated to help, Israel consistently refuses.
A Final Comment
On January 11, a Haaretz editorial headlined, "Israel's anti-infiltration law is a disgrace," saying:
"Of all the antidemocratic laws that have descended on us of late, it is perhaps the most shameful."
Nonetheless, it passed 37 - 8. As a result, non-Jewish refugees, asylum seekers, or migrants seeking work are criminalized.
"Words fail in the face of such a disgraceful act of legislation. Sending desperate human beings, who come to Israel" with legitimate fears or for work can be imprisoned indefinitely without trial.
Most pose any threat whatever. Imprisoning them "is intolerable." Nonetheless, "a jingoistic" draconian measure became law.
It's more proof of an out-of-control rogue terror state unfit to live in. No wonder many Israelis vote with their feet and leave.

I guess Lendman got some more orders from the Kremlin and/or some more Palestinian money to single poor outnumbered surrounded Israel out for delegitimization while treating the BAD GUYS with the blinkers. He never mentions that Israel is 1/19th the size of California, and that the 22 surrounding Arab countries are 640x larger, but just have to have that little sliver of land no matter how many JEWS they have to kill.
So why do so many Africans risk their lives to crowd into little surrounded Israel? Because it's a HEAVEN compared to every other country anywhere nearby. Much like Mexicans risk their lives to come to the U.S., except that its tiny size and fear of Muslim terrorist infiltrators makes it a national priority to have tight border security, hence their Infiltrator Law is just common sense. If the MUSLIMS WOULD CLEAR OUT OF ISRAEL FROM THE NILE TO THE EUPHRATES so that it had a more decent amount of Lebensraum and security, they would be the first to relax their laws and welcome immigrants. THEY'RE THE GOOD GUYS.
Does Lendman work for the Kremlin? If not he should put in for past paychecks :)

The reason so many African refugees end up in Israel is because if they stay in Muslim countries like Egypt they are shot and killed. So when are you going to do a report about that?
