Arenal, one of the more active volcanoes in the world, is in what country?
Answer: Costa Rica, northwest of San José. Arenal was formed about 7,000 years ago. It’s most recent major activity lasted from 1968 until 2010, with the 1968 eruptions killing nearly 90 people.

Lucien made his way through the room into a small corner, there he took a seat upon a small little piece of stone.
Renee spoke in whispers to her pair of confidantes and then stepped forward on the makeshift stage of crates while Emma and Temmit sat down.
“Greetings everyone,” she said with a warm smile and everyone immediate hushed and let out a round of applause at the same time. As the clapping died down she continued.
“It is heart-warming and delightful to see all of you as well. Thank you one-and-all for coming this evening.” she said, still smiling from a few feet above the dozens of children.
With that, she held up hand and with a flick of her finger in front of her face, she cast the cantrip that places a small candle-flame about 6 inches in front of her face. She recited, in a strong whisper, the Whisper pledge. Many recited in whisper with her, and the affect of so many member whispering the passage echoed about the room ominously.
With that, Renee exhaled forcefully and extinguished the arcane flame, some said a word of prayer to Kaine, others simply clapped softly.
Whispers of response like ‘damn straight’, ‘yeah’, and ‘no one will ever know from me’ flitted about the room.
“And soon my friends, we could be forty.” she said with a gleam in her eye.
Shock and awe broke all around the room, for that could only mean she had three more candidates to interview, an unprecedented amount all at once. This year they had picked up four new recruits, and thought that was a lot!
“That’s right my friends, three children, two right here in Our-Commons, have shown promise and will be interviewed this very weekend. Wish us luck,” she said with a nod to her two lieutenants.
Temmit scrutinized the audience. Looking for anything that might be not as he thought it should be.
Shannon paused to recite the pledge. She was never one for pledges for they usually meant blind faith. This pledge was about anything but that. It had a sentiment that she took to heart. Being artist, she could only accept what she had witnessed for herself.
“Too many,” thought Xavier. “She’s too impetuos. One of these times she’ll let in an informant. We should keep it small.” Xavier, as always, kept these thoughts to himself.
“But I get a little ahead of myself. I wanted to talk to you on the increased activity of the guards during what is normally a slower time of year,” nods went around the room. “It appears that the guards are only seeking for the increased black market activity in Lowtown and are NOT on to us,” she said with a sympathetic smile that displayed how much she had worried that the younger members may have been scared.
“And on to very exciting and recent business that I am sure some of you have been busting to hear,” Renee said, clasping her hands behind her posterior and for a moment pausing as she soak in the room’s anticipation.
Stunned silence enveloped from the room as the meaning of her words took hold, then everyone in the room talked at once. Renee giggled as the questions all came at once.
Almost every kid in the room had burst out with a question, their words tripping over each other in excitement. Renee raised her hand for quiet and continued, still smiling.
“It is very exciting news, for this sword, used to save the Kingdom in a battle over 14 centuries ago, has been nothing but a myth according to our beloved government. Even though the sword plays as a third leading role in some of the plays that are occurring in the theaters right above our heads as I speak.” Renee pointed to the wood ceiling, which was the bottom floor of an unused warehouse basement in the Theater District. Either Mark or John, or perhaps even one of the guild runners would be stationed there now, listening in, and watching the basement entrance.
Renee acquiesced to the bright, beckoning eyes of the children who knew there was more, Renee never gave information based on hunches.
“Within the library, my source tells me that invisible arcane symbols have been discovered in various children’s books. Cleverly hidden in fairy tales that have nothing to do with the sword, which seems to be missing in every historical text and serious “adult” books of education and fact in the rest of the library,” Renee’s smile had vanished and turned to a look of questioning concern. All knew Renee wanted to love the government, but as an abused child would love the offending parent, she would still run away, question, and be disillusioned.
“That section is enormous, it must of taken him weeks,” Jared exclaimed.
“It did my friend,” Renee replied.
“What was the message? I am dieing of anticipation here!” Ashley asked with a smile.
The whole group of starry-eyed kids let out an audible exclamation of awe, which sounded really funny, so therefore a burst of laughter exploded in the room.
After a moment of goodly-founded sillyness, Renee put her hand again for attention.
Renee never revealed certain sources, trying to keep facets of the members in separate cells should the unthinkable happen. Better to keep hidden those directly responsible for transgressions of a certain nature, and therefore safe from future over-zealous questioning of soldiers. She had seen first hand the questioning, the torture, of black market criminals at the hands of the city guard, and that is why she was leader of Whisper today.
“Also in the candlelight of new discoveries, we have yet another,” Renee was pacing the short stage as she walked now, her mind in the thick of it.
Everyone in the room was stunned. This news confirmed everything they always believed in but couldn’t prove, the government truly was keeping knowledge away from the public.
”Cold,” Wil exclaimed. (OOC: “Cold” is like saying “Cool” in our world. Inheritantly, many people of Safe-Haven bock at the cold weather, knowing it is a truth of life, they deem it “neatoes” instead of trying to fight it).
Renee held her captive audience in a dramatic pause.
Giggles went through the group even though most were stunned by this even more shocking news. Temmit frowned visibly at Jared who shrunk behind Leslie.
“But how would they survive out there?” River spoke up. “We all know that when the barrier is taken down each season for their conquest of land, the Karh’Thul come through by the dozens upon dozens, sometimes hundreds! Millenguard for instance. If that story is now real, that means the Sword of Truth saved the Kingdom from thousands, plus the (KT) demon Ustag!” (OOC: pronounced OO-STAHG = in the “fable” he was depicted as HUGE, literally).
“How could they survive out there?!” River seemed frustrated for more information he knew he wasn’t going to immediate get, and the few who knew River understood why.
“Indeed River.” Renee almost whispered. “How indeed”.
“And that is another task I put to you all. The journal doesn’t elude to much outside the normal routine soldier tasks, but we do know that the special patrol which is not named therein had at least an identifiable symbol.” And with that, Renee reached in her pocket and unfolded a small piece of parchment. She held each end and displayed it for all in the room to see.
Upon the parchment was the etching of a circle with the familiar spire at its center, but the rest was very unusual. Within the circle was the drawing of an open eye to the right of the Spire, with a full moon and stars in the sky behind, and a closed eye to the left, with the sun and sparse clouds behind.
Shannon paused in her drawing. She cocked her head to the side allowing her hair to hang down covering part of her face. Peering out she asked, "Though it may seem obvious to some I would still like to ask...Renee, what exactly would we, as the Whisper Gang, achieve by having the sword?...if that is what you're suggesting"
Lucien, who was already intrigued by the mentioning of the sword, leaned forward slightly on his rock and began to think. 'What was so special about the symbol? Its not like anybody would know, and besides, the government would have already confiscated the items the pertain to information about the symbol, or the sword...'. Lucien looks at Shannon as she had finished looking to Renee eagerly awaiting her response to Shannon.
(OOC: On second thought, I think I wil keep your post where it is WF, conversation is as easily plausible after the announcement of the patrol as it was before).
Renee looked at Shannon and had an answer that more than anyone else in the room, Shannon, would appreciate the most.
"What do we need the sword for? Shannon....the government says it doesn't exist." She stared at her, awaiting the joy of appreciation of her words to sink into Shannon's mind.
Shannon winked at her, Renee let out a small giggle.
“On to a new subject and one that breaks my heart,” Renee almost whispered, the smile only a hint at the corners of her mouth.
This got the expectant boos and calls of blasphemy from most in attendance.
Renee raised her hand for attention.
“I understand and agree with your frustration my friends, but no fear, for my destiny, although pushed by those who would lie to us, is still under my own guidance, I will prevail,” she said sternly.
“Just don’t die at on a pair of Karh’Thul claws Renee,” Will whispered with awkward worry.
With a great look of appreciation and concern for those would worry about her, Renee scanned the room, looking at each face in that mirrored the concern Will had voiced, many were indeed worried for their favorite leaders life, some even now on the verge of tears.
Some of the worried faces gained a slight smile.
“Since there are so many members in attendance this night, we should cast our vote for the next leader this very moment.” she said, then turned to look at her two lieutenants, who both gave quick nods of agreement.
There was suddenly tension in the room, a third of the members having never been involved in this process as they hadn’t been members when Renee had taken over years ago.
Emma took a step forward behind her and nodded again. She didn’t seem surprised by the nomination nor humbled bye it, in fact she gave no indication in her stoic face what she thought. Such was the way with Emma, but those who knew her, which this guild did, loved her, for they knew the person was behind the mask of station was a genuine leader of compassion and character.

The cost of paper is enormous in most companies. Anytime, you can find big pockets of paper usage, you generally have an opportunity to save your company thousands of dollars, if not millions.
Paper and ink costs can be significant, but creating the paper is only a fraction of the cost of using paper. Handling, distribution, and storage costs are far bigger issues.
Xerox research estimates each US worker creates 10-12 thousand sheets of paper a year.
In the 1990’s, insurance companies used to pay our company $1.00 for each insurance claim we sent them electronically versus paper. In those days, insurance companies estimated the cost to process a single paper claim was $5.00.
That’s creating $22,000,000 in cost every year. Not all of this cost is incurred by the company creating the paper, , , much of the cost is incurred by other companies who must handle, process, and store the paper created by our small company of just 100 employees.
Think of the thousands of companies, with tens of thousands of workers and you can quickly see that the cost of paper and associated costs in handling, distributing, and storing it are enormous.
With today’s technology, there is no reason we can’t reduce paper significantly. We won’t eliminate paper totally, but we certainly should be trying to reduce the creation of paper and the associated costs to our company.
The challenge with clerical workers in most companies is the rate of turnover, , , they are the highest turnover group in your company which has additional cost implications such as recruiting, hiring, training, etc. Automating clerical processes allows you to just “not re-hire” as clerical employees leave your company.
Document management systems – Implement systems that create and distribute electronic documents versus creating paper.
Company policies on use of paper – Are you aware many employees print out most of their e-mail messages, , , and other things like it? Lots of opportunity in creating paper usage guidelines.
Duplex printers – Printing on both sides of the paper saves a lot in the long run.
Electronic Distribution Systems (EDS) – Data interfaces with companies you work with can eliminate boat loads of paper. Wal-Mart implemented a company-wide EDS program in the 1980’s that has saved their company billions, , , and continues to reduce the cost of their products to consumers.
Use your Intranet – Stop producing paper for company information (newsletters, employee manuals, operations policies and procedures, etc.) and use your company Intranet to publish the information.
Print to PDF’s versus paper – Most company documents can be printed to a PDF file and distributed, then selectively printed by the recipient as necessary. This will drive paper costs down quite a bit.
Scanning and imaging systems – This technology is so much more cost effective than it was even 10 years ago. If you have large volumes of paper coming into your company from external sources, you can reduce costs a lot by scanning the documents and retrieving the images as needed to process and store the information.
Make printing harder – Selective placement of printers within your company can actually reduce the amount of paper produced.
Automate clerical processes – Clerical workers are usually handling lots of paper. Automate the processes they do and eliminate the paper which allows you to eliminate the clerical worker position.
Mandate change – To be effective in cutting the usage of paper, your company needs a “champion” who leads the way and encourages others in the company to look for innovative ways to reduce the use of paper. People do not change their ways easily, , , ultimately, senior management must get involved and reinforce the idea that change is required and you take it seriously.
Most companies have excellent cost saving opportunities by eliminating paper. Take a day to tour your company and just look for large “pockets” of paper and think about what might be done to eliminate the creation of that paper, what costs would be eliminated if people did not have to touch it or if your company did not have to distribute it.
You might be shocked at the cost savings opportunity !!

A nurse put 100 gloves into 4 containers. She puts gloves in the containers in such a way that each container has two more gloves than the one before. How many gloves are in each container?
Answer: 22, 24, 26, and 28 gloves.
Let X be the number of gloves in the first container. Then there are X+2 gloves in the 2-nd container, X+4 gloves in the 3-rd container, and X+6 gloves in the 4-th container. Hence, we have X+X+2+X+4+X+6=100. Solving for X, we get X=22 gloves in the first container, 24 gloves in the 2-nd container, 26 gloves in the 3-rd container and 28 gloves in the 4-th container.

ProblemThe fourth grade is taking a field trip. They need to rent minivans to get there. There are 125 people going. Each minivan can only hold 8 people. How many minivans does the school need to rent?
You can divide to find the number of minivans.
There are different ways to interpret the remainder of a problem.
*Answer where you add 1 to the quotient.
Think: How many minivans does the school need to rent?
You will need 16 minivans for the trip.
* Answer where you use only the quotient.
Think: How many minivans will be completely full?
There will be 15 minivans completely full.
* Answer where you use only the remainder.
Think: How many people will not fit in the minivan, if they took 15?
The remainder is 5. So, 5 people will not fit in the minivans.
16 Think can 4 go into 16?

We started our second week of school with a class meeting to discuss our week’s plans. I presented literacy, math and Unit of Inquiry projects and tasks. Then, I shared a copy of this week’s timetable.
I asked if anyone had used a schedule like this and all said it was new to them. I explained they would be planning their week and there were tasks on the left they must make sure were included.
There were sign-up sessions offered on math and writing during Self Directed Learning (SDL) time. This week, we wrote ‘About the Author’ biographies to use later when publishing. Each student was asked to sign up for one session to work with me in a small group on writing. This gave me a chance to give a mini-lesson on form and style, read each student’s writing and for them to ask questions. The math session was a small personal session for how we are going to move forward even if we haven’t memorized basic math facts. Each week the sessions will change depending on the learning needs.
We have started the school year with agency and this includes individualized timetables. There were only a couple of blank spots each day to plan for self-directed learning as we already had a busy week. There was enough time to plan for assignments and time for choice.
Our class has a wide variety of individual needs like all classes. Each child planning their schedule allows for flexibility of time, interest and needs. When students plan their timetable they plan according to their interests and motivation while understanding tasks which need to be completed. A group of boys chose to read on the sofas for the first hour on Monday. Time well spent.
On Tuesday, I administered reading assessments. This meant we needed a day of quiet learning. We made a list of choices which included reading, writing, a Unit of Inquiry task as well as drawing. In my early teaching, I would have looked for ‘seat work’ to keep them busy. That was my past. With students choosing their learning engagements, individualized timetables end busy work. We also recognize art, breaks to re-energize the brain, getting to know your friends as worthy pursuits.
Will each child take responsibility for their learning? My expectations are realistic. This will be more difficult for some students than others. Is it worthwhile to learn how to plan your time? This will take practice. Let’s start learning it now in the younger years when we are establishing skills for success.

Windows Defender ATP sheds light on configuration issues and provide insights to machines where security features are not configured or out of date. It does provide actionable recommendations to improve your endpoint security. The actual actionable improvement must be performed by your administrator. In this blog I’ll explain how to improve the security baseline of your endpoints by using Microsoft Intune.
In this blog we’ll focus on two out of five improvement area’s: Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Defender Application Guard. By configuring the Windows Defender ATP preferences setup you can determine which topics are relevant to your organization and start to implement improvements in a phased approach.
Note: Changes according the preferences setup might take up to a few hours to reflect on the security analytics dashboard.
Windows Defender Antivirus doesn’t need any introduction, it’s Microsoft’s built-in antivirus solution part of the Windows 10 client and Windows Server 2016 OS. Taking advantage of Microsoft’s Security Graph, Windows Defender stack provides a unique and powerful solution that copes with the most sophisticated cyberattacks, organizations currently facing.
The score of Windows Defender Antivirus is measured against the improvement areas shown left, including cloud-based protection. Make sure Windows Defender Antivirus Cloud-based protection is enabled. Why? As it’s provide you real-time protection. Read this article for more background information.
Windows Defender Antivirus catagory is part of the Windows 10 Device Restrictions profile (previously known as configuration policies) in Microsoft Intune.
Note: Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) can be configured in not configured, block or audit mode (0/1/2). By default PUA is enabled by in System Center Configuration Manager CB (1606 and higher).
What is Application Guard in a nutshell? Application Guard helps to isolate enterprise-defined untrusted sites, protecting your company while your employees browse the Internet.
When browsing an untrusted site through either Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge opens the site in an isolated Hyper-V-enabled container, which is separate from the host operating system.
Untrusted URL’s are redirected to the WDAG container.
This container isolation means that if the untrusted site turns out to be malicious, the host PC is protected, and the attacker can’t get to your enterprise data.
The score of Windows Defender Application Guard is measured against the improvement areas at the right. Further make sure you met the (hardware) prerequisites to be able using Application Guard.
Note: At time of writing there is no Windows Defender Application Guard UI available in Microsoft Intune. Expect this profile UI will become available later this year when Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is general available.
The configuration of Windows Defender Application Guard is currently documented for using PowerShell and Group Policies. However there is a Configuration Service Provider (CSP) for Windows Defender Application Guard which make it’s possible to configure Application Guard using modern management (Microsoft Intune or other MDM solutions).
The WindowsDefenderApplicationGuard configuration service provider (CSP) can be used (by absence of UI) to configure the settings in the Application Guard. This CSP is added and applies from Windows 10, version 1709 and higher.
AllowWindowsDefenderApplicationGuard Turn on Windows Defender Application Guard in Enterprise Mode. Value type is integer. Supported operations are Add, Get, Replace, and Delete. Value type is integer. 0 – Stops Application Guard in Enterprise Mode.
1 – Enables Application Guard in Enterprise Mode.
ClipboardFileType Determines the type of content that can be copied from the host to Application Guard environment and vice versa. Value type is integer. 0 – Allow text copying.
1 – Allow text and image copying.
ClipboardSettings This policy setting allows you to decide how the clipboard behaves while in Application Guard. Value type is integer. 0 (default) – Completely turns Off the clipboard functionality for the Application Guard.
1 – Turns On the clipboard functionality and lets you choose whether to additionally enable copying of certain content from Application Guard into Microsoft Edge and enable copying of certain content from Microsoft Edge into Application Guard.
BlockNonEnterpriseContent This policy setting allows you to decide whether websites can load non-enterprise content in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer. Value type is integer. 0 – Non-enterprise content embedded on enterprise sites are stopped from opening in Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge outside of Windows Defender Application Guard.
1 (default) – Non-enterprise sites can open outside of the Windows Defender Application Guard container, directly in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.
AllowPersistence This policy setting allows you to decide whether data should persist across different sessions in Application Guard. Value type is integer. 0 – Application Guard discards user-downloaded files and other items (such as, cookies, Favorites, and so on) during machine restart or user log-off.
1 – Application Guard saves user-downloaded files and other items (such as, cookies, Favorites, and so on) for use in future Application Guard sessions.
AuditApplicationGuard This policy setting allows you to decide whether auditing events can be collected from Application Guard. Value type is integer. 0 (default) – Audit event logs aren’t collected for Application Guard.
1 – Application Guard inherits its auditing policies from Microsoft Edge and starts to audit system events specifically for Application Guard.
Based on the above settings we created a Windows Defender Application Guard, we created a custom profile which contains the minimal settings to use Application Guard.
Configuring Windows Defender Application Guard using custom CSP policy.
Note: Microsoft Intune doesn’t support “Exec” operations using custom profiles – therefore you may consider other mechanism (PowerShell, Group Policy, Control Panel UI etc.) to install Application Guard. The full MDM scenario will be enabled when WDAG UI is integrated in Intune.
In a full managed mode Windows Defender Application Guard uses both network isolation and application-specific settings. Network Isolation, help you define and manage your company’s network boundaries (equally to WIP). Application Guard uses this information to automatically transfer any requests to access the non-corporate resources into the Application Guard container.
So make sure you’ve configured your enterprise boundaries whether by Network Isolation CSP of by using Windows Information Protection. Please check out one of my previous blog posts how to define your enterprise data boundaries here. Use App Protection Policies to configure Windows Information Protection for your organization.
Note: Windows Defender Application Guard won’t work if the pre-requisite checks and mandatory network isolation policies aren’t configured.
I’ll write up the modern management (MDM) road to get Windows Defender Application Guard end-to-end running a dedicated blog post later on.
Based on the Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Defender Application Guard improvements area’s we configured device restriction profiles in Microsoft Intune.
The results speak for themselves, within a very short timeframe we’re able to improves the organizations security score.
The profiles which contains the settings of Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Defender Application Guard ensures our managed endpoints complies to the new security posture. We can zoom in per improvement area and see the security score over time.
The Security Analytics dashboard provide organizations valuable insights of there endpoint security and enables to easily enhances and maximize their security potential.
Where Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection provides organization continues valuable insides of there current security operations- and analytics performance, Microsoft Intune enables you to translate the useful insights into enforceable measures. Special thanks to Chintan Patel (MSFT) for providing valuable insights.
In the following blog – part 2 – I’ll cover the other improvement area’s Windows Defender Exploit Guard & SmartScreen.
as i said in a previous comment, you should specify which licence we need to use it. For all this serie of blog post you’ve made.

In 2012, the New York Times released a database of corporate subsidies from state and local sources, a largely comprehensive list organized both by company and state program. This list includes programs used to transfer money, services or tax benefits from government (i.e., taxpayers) to companies.
There are two major, related flaws in the New York Times’ worthy effort, though. The Times’ major flaw is assuming that all sales tax exemptions are an example of corporate welfare when, in fact, many are justified economically. In addition, states that transparently and fully report the full value of exemptions, whether or not they are economically justified, see their degree of corporate welfare largesse artificially bloated compared to those less transparent.
Texas deserves criticism for its corporate subsidy largesse. However, the New York Times exaggerates Texas’ ranking due to the ready availability of data on the value of sales tax exemptions. Thus, in effect, the Times penalizes Texas for being more transparent. For example, nearly every state offers a manufacturing equipment sales tax exemption — a justifiable tax exemption on economic grounds — but only a few states report the value of that exemption, as Texas does. The same applies to Michigan, where the Times considers the state’s sales tax base on retail goods to be a subsidy for businesses that provide services.
The manufacturing equipment exemption is good tax policy because it is an attempt to restrict taxes to the final item sold. This avoids “tax pyramiding,” which occurs when inputs to production are taxed as if they were a final-use good for purchase. By the time the product reaches the consumer, taxes have been applied to taxes and priced into the good. This not only inflates taxes, it also renders them largely invisible to taxpayers. The sales tax that is then applied to a consumer’s purchase results in multiple layers of taxation.
As an example, in most states there is an exemption for cars purchased by rental companies. This is because each time the car is rented, the renter pays the sales tax. If there were no exemption, the renter would effectively pay a double sales tax due to higher charges to cover the initial higher cost for the car rental company of acquiring the vehicle. The same reasoning applies to manufacturing equipment or other inputs. The exemption is not given to profit the companies, but to keep consumers from being taxed twice and to prevent market distortions since products with more stages in the production line are disadvantaged relative to those with fewer stages.
Preventing double taxation is not a form of corporate welfare. Instead, it produces a tax system that is simpler and more transparent by enabling the end user to easily calculate how much tax they are paying on the final good. It also avoids the economic distortion that would come from a tax system encouraging fewer firm-to-firm transactions at stages of production simply to avoid a bigger tax hit. Taxing every stage of production when transactions occur between firms encourages vertical integration as a tax avoidance measure rather than as a true efficiency-enhancing measure.
Our analysis indicates that about two-thirds of the subsidies reported by the New York Times are not truly subsidies; they are actually appropriate elements of tax structure designed to make taxes more efficient and prevent double taxation. These “fake subsidies” include elements such as “freeport” exemptions and accelerated cost recovery systems for equipment and S-corporation write-offs. Many states also have an exemption from the corporate income tax for S-corporations.
Taking the New York Times data and removing the entries that are not truly subsidies, we have constructed a new ranking based on what we belief to be a more consistent definition of corporate welfare. Additionally, instead of ranking states based purely on the dollar amount of the subsidies as the New York Times did, our ranking is based on the size of the subsidies as a percentage of gross state product. This gives a better indication of how distortionary the subsidies may be in each state — large dollar amounts for subsidies may not matter so much in Texas, already a large economy, than they might in Kentucky. This creates a better perspective of the role corporate welfare actually plays in each state and the size of the economic distortions they create in each state.
Included in our ranking are cash grant programs like the now-defunct Texas Emerging Technology Fund and bond issue programs or free services given to companies. Also included are exemptions granted to companies targeted specifically at benefiting one company or a small group of companies, such as exemptions or tax breaks for small businesses.
Arizona and Oklahoma do not budge much in the revised rankings. However, it’s important to note that our revised ranking actually places them both above California and Massachusetts — two states notorious for trying to micromanage their economy via government policy and business subsidies. Michigan, along with Texas, remains a corporate welfare standout even after the rankings are adjusted. These are only a few examples of how the rankings are impacted by properly accounting for corporate welfare.
[*] Rankings are likely still influenced by varied methodologies across states. Half of Texas’ corporate welfare total is in agriculture property tax exemptions, a relative number nowhere matched by other states even though many give similar property tax advantages to farmers. In all likelihood, similarly biased data exists in other areas.

I have read on the hotel's website that the pool is closed until May. My family and I are travelling there mid April and the booking site we used didn't specify that the pool would be closed. Can anybody advise, also if anybody stayed in Ibiza April time, whats the weather generally like and will it be a ghost town? Many thanks.
I've seen on booking websites that the outdoor pool is described as "seasonal". Can you confirm if the pool will be open in October?
Hi, I hope the answer is not too late! There was service at the pool ( club sandwich style) until 8 pm! I don’t think the pool is heated, it was very hot in July! Enjoy!

Each special need child can have a unique set of nutritional risks, depending on their condition and medical issues varying from weight problems to relational food issues to medicine and genetic factors. Their nutritional plan should incorporate those issues, work to solve or support them, and ultimately to improve their nutrition on a daily basis.
We have all been there. The kids just like what they like and it’s tough to get them to try new things. Involve your child in the grocery shopping experience. Encourage them to try things that will benefit their bodies and explain the importance of healthy eating. Choose something new to try from the produce section or a new shape of pasta. Try one new thing at a time until you find something they like. Consult with your child’s doctor if there are food issues related to medicines. Ask for guidance.
Gradually add new foods that your child likes and encourage them to eat less and buy less of the foods that are unhealthy. Continue to talk to about the benefits of healthy eating in new and different ways. Establish a positive meal-time routine. Do some research and involve your child in reading about healthy eating habits and why they are important. Always offer choices and include something in the family meal that your child will eat.
A successful nutrition plan will look different for each child. Adapt meals and snacks to continually add as many nutritional foods as you can. This will happen over time - don’t overwhelm your child with too many new foods, too quickly. Continue to give choices and allow them to say “no thank you” to some foods. As they accept and adapt to new foods, incorporate those foods gradually before you try another.
Here is a summary of the top 10 diets for kids with special needs. Consult with your health care provider and choose one of these if it fits your child’s dietary needs.

When we started working on the September cover stories about pets we thought it was a cute idea. Obviously, people love their animals and no one with a heart can help ooo-ing and aww-ing over portraits of sweet furry faces. It was around the time we started working on this that I attended the Mayborn Nonfiction Writer’s Conference at which Gene Weingarten, both a humorist and a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, was a speaker.
In the gift shop at the conference were several books by featured guests. I picked up Weingarten’s “Old Dogs Are the Best Dogs”, showcasing the photography of Michael S. Williamson, and within minutes had tears in my eyes.
I think the book, which I shared with our photographers, inspired a deeper level of appreciation for our animal subjects, revealed in this month’s photos. The animals in the September stories are not just cute faces; they are best friends, siblings, comforters, healers, laugh-givers and life enhancers!
Here you can see some photos from the book. And I also recommend Weingarten’s tear-jerking essay about his own old dog, Harry.
“They can be eccentric, slow afoot, even grouchy. But dogs live out their final days,” writes Weingarten, “with a humility and grace we all could learn from …” more here.

Jane has 2 candies. Jack has 5 candies. If they each eat 1 candy, how many candies do they have left in total?
Answer: First we find out how many candies they have together.
5 + 2 = 7. Together, Jane and Jack have 7 candies. If they each eat one candy, then they ate 2 candies in total. So, we find out how many candies they have left by subtracting 2 from 7.
7 - 2 = 5. They have 5 candies left in total.
 Moe has to go 12 miles to his grandma's house. The first bus goes 3 miles. The second bus goes 4 miles. How many miles does Moe have left to go?
Answer: First we find out how far Moe travels on the two buses.
3 + 4 = 7. The distance Moe travels on the two buses together is 7 miles. We find out how far he has left to go by subtracting 7 from 12.
12 - 7 = 5. Moe has 5 miles left to go.
 What is 18 + 3 - 5 + 9?
 A box of cookies has 18 cookies. A crate of cookies has 12 boxes. How many cookies are in a crate?

 Bob bought a pop for 130 ducats and a bag of chips for 89 ducats. He gave the clerk 500 ducats. How many ducats should he get back?
Answer: First we find the total of Bob's purchase.
130 + 89 = 219. To find out how many ducats he should get back, we subtract 219 from 500.
500 - 219 = 281. Bob should get back 281 ducats.
 To convert radons to zurugons, you multiply each radon by 13 then subtract 51 from the product. How many zurugons are 62 radons?
Answer: This is a really hard problem. First we need the product.
62 x 13 = 806. Then the question says to subtract 51 from the product.
806 - 51 = 755. So, 62 radons is equivalent to 755 zurugons.
 A school bus holds 40 students. 90 students are going on a field trip. How many buses do they need?
Answer: Two buses hold 80 students and 3 buses hold 120. So, they need 3 buses in order to carry 90 students.
 What is the remainder when you divide 562 by 9?
Answer: 562 divided by 9 has a quotient of 62 and a remainder of 4.
 What is the quotient when you divide 437 by 11 using long division?
Answer: The quotient is 39. In case you were wondering, the remainder is 8.
 A number is multiplied by 8 and this answer is added to 99 and the final answer is 171. What is the original number?
Answer: We find the original number by working backwards. First we subtract 99 from 171.
171 - 99 = 72. Then we divide 72 by 8.
72 ¸ 8 = 9. The original number is 9.

OXA-58 is a recently described carbapenemase from Acinetobacter spp. in Europe. We examined earlier worldwide Acinetobacter collections and found bla(OXA-58) in 30 carbapenem-nonsusceptible isolates, including several isolates collected in Argentina and Kuwait in 1995 and 1996 and in a British outbreak strain from 2000. Most isolates (28 of 30) also had bla(OXA-51). We conclude that bla(OXA-58) is geographically widespread and has occurred in Acinetobacter spp. for over 10 years.

Spa Creek Conservancy volunteers work with employees of Hyundai of Annapolis and Bates Middle Schoolers planting a rain garden outside the West Street car dealer.
2010 was supposed to be the year we cleaned up the Bay.
Its nutrient- and sediment-reduction and dissolved-oxygen and underwater grass-improvement goals: all deadlines we missed.
But as 2010 ends, many people are still working for a cleaner Chesapeake.
Here’s a year-end review of what two local grant-winning projects are doing to change the way we do things on dry land — because everything we put on land ends up in the Bay.
The Spa Creek Conservancy and the Scenic Rivers Land Trust shared $200,000 in this year’s round of Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grants, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The two are among 34 projects to receive grants in the Chesapeake’s 64,000-mile watershed stretching across five states and the District of Columbia.
The Spa Creek Conservancy has dedicated its $141,648 to capture stormwater runoff at Rich Morton Lincoln Mercury and Hyundai of Annapolis, both part of West Street’s urban drainage into the creek.
On December 9 their work began, as volunteers from the conservancy, Hyundai and Bates Middle School dug and planted rain gardens at the front and back of Hyundai of Annapolis.
Here’s how their digging and planting on a busy street helps save the Bay.
Imagine you’re a raindrop falling onto West Street. Water acts as a solvent, so you pick up anything from car fluids to lawn fertilizers as you travel downhill. On West Street, this downhill trip takes you tumbling down roofs, roads, sidewalks and other hard surfaces. These impervious surfaces stop water from sinking into the filtering layers of soil. In a stream of warm stormwater, you rush into the Bay loaded with nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metals.
Spa Creek Conservancy and its partner, the Center for Watershed Protection, imagined how the car dealerships on West Street could be part of the solution rather than the problem. If the huge volumes of stormwater running off these dealerships’ parking lots and roofs could be slowed down — absorbed in soil, especially soil anchored by plants — large volumes of stormwater could be cleaned and cooled before reaching Spa or College creeks.
Two adjacent dealerships, Hyundai of Annapolis and Rich Morton Lincoln Mercury, are included in the grant. The new rain gardens, stormwater planters and sand filters clean out pollutants in the water flowing off the sites. The gardens will use the natural filtering powers of native plants and shrubs and aim to be beautiful, too.
With the Annapolis Hyundai work finished, the Rich Morton Lincoln Mercury job is scheduled for spring.
Scenic Rivers Land Trust looks beyond paved places, working with property owners to protect wild land through easements. Landowners give up the right to further develop a piece of land but retain other private property rights.
“Easements can be the most cost-effective way to preserve land and private property rights,” says the trust’s Rick Leader.
That’s because landowners get significant reductions in property taxes and can earn charitable-gift tax deductions for the value of the easement. Easements protect wild places because the agreement “runs with the land” into perpetuity, even after the property has been sold or inherited.
Protecting forest in the South River Greenway has been a long-term goal for the trust. Through easements and working with Anne Arundel County, 2,500 of the 6,000-acre goal has been secured, including two of the largest undeveloped tracts remaining in the county.
Much of the Greenway is ecologically valuable forest interior surrounded by other forest. At home in them, 18 locally threatened bird species have been counted, including the brilliant promonthory warbler and scarlet tanager, the euphonic wood thrush, the skylarking ovenbird and the pileated woodpecker, the last large American woodpecker, whose haunting drumming resounds deep into the forest. Lots of reptiles also depend on this kind of habitat, and the forested waterways are historic spawning streams for yellow perch and river herring. This large tract of forest, braided with 100 miles of streams and a patchwork of 800 acres of wetlands, is not only home to millions of animals and plants but also naturally slows and cleans water draining into the river and ultimately into the Bay.
Scenic Rivers Land Trust has big plans for its $65,858 share of the grant: moving beyond the South River to protect land in other watersheds, especially the West and Rhode rivers. Living up to those plans takes building lasting relationships with landowners, engaging communities in restoration projects in the South River Greenway and monitoring and restoring protected plots. The group will also be part of a stewardship committee to manage Bacon Ridge, a 300-acre property in Crownsville.
These two projects by themselves — even with 32 more Small Watershed projects — will not save the Bay. But as the EPA launches new large-scale efforts to enforce pollution limits mandated by the Clean Water Act, progress still comes one drop at a time.

In the world of writing, there are a number of frequently asked questions and at the top we always find: “How long does my story need to be?” The cliché answer also happens to be the true answer. Your story needs to have the exact amount of words necessary to express your story in a manner that entices your reader to follow you to your conclusion and leave them satisfied that enough has been expressed.
That having been said, it is also helpful to know how your completed story would be classified to those that might publish it for you. Generally speaking: A work is considered Flash Fiction when it has fewer than 1,000-2,000 words. A work is considered a Short Story when it falls between 2,000-7,500 words. A work is considered a Novelette when it falls between 7,500-17,500 words. A work is considered a Novella when it falls between 17,500-50,000 words. A work is considered a Novel when it has more than 50,000 words. A work is considered an Epic Novel when it has more than 200,000 words.
