[edit] Allouine
The May Bride To define her in prose is a violation of the terms. Only a poet can understand. She is sleeping beauty, the empress, the woman who creates our physical world with her dreams. She is Venus, the may bride, the elven queen of antiquity. She is Hallowed Eve, or Halloween. An empress, she lies along the world axis, her breath is the weather. As a muse she is perennial, a lovely lady in white. She is not awake. She awaits the kiss, sleeping beauty intact. Her people perhaps are gone. She is not the grail, she is what lies beyond it. She is the egg cell of man's spiritual quest to impregnate the unseen with meaning.

[edit] A Skeptic's Guide to An Inconvenient Truth
This is a response to Al Gore's recent film, An Inconvenient Truth. The Skeptics' Guide challenges the factual basis of Al Gore's film as well as how he construes and distorts the facts. For example, the drying up of Lake Chad was cited as an example of the effects of global warming. The Skeptics' Guide points out that Lake Chad's disappearance "more likely stems from a combination of regional climate variability and societal factors such as population increase and overgrazing."

[edit] Lance Djordjevic

[edit] Indirect compensation
_______ Most people define the term “COMPENSATION” in rather limited Terms: quite simply, base pay plus any overtime or incentive pay an employee receives from an employer. In fact, this definition only covers direct compensation. Employees also receive various forms of indirect compensation from their employer, and understanding what comprises this latter form of compensation is crucial for employers who want to design desirable employment packages. Indirect compensation is designed to improve employees’ quality of life, reward continued employment, promote loyalty and even distribute additional financial rewards. Indirect compensation can be understood as part of the social contract between the employer and employee to protect the financial, emotional and physical Well-being of all workers and their families. Here are some examples of indirect compensation that every benefit administrator should be familiar with: 1. Covering tuition costs for outside classes or degree programs, or maintaining an ongoing training program internally, provides for professional development that benefits both the employer and employee. 2. In many cities, transportation to and from work is not only becoming increasingly difficult, but is also becoming increasingly expensive. Covering the costs of employee vanpools, auto Mileage, public transportation passes or parking is a benefit employee’s value highly. 3. This category covers everything about an employee’s physical well being, from exercise to sick time to health, disability or life insurance. Intramural sports, entertainment events and cultural opportunities are benefits to employees and employers who want the workplace atmosphere to not always revolve around work. 4. The dual-income family has become common enough to make indirect benefits to employees such as childcare, flextime, counseling and elder care highly sought-after. 5. Savings bonds and deferred compensation plans are a unique form of indirect compensation that can reward long-term employees. 6. Telecommuting, extra vacation, flexible spending accounts, travel, technology perks (laptop), comfortable office space and financial counseling are examples of creative, lifestyle-related compensation Benefit. 7. Other components of an executive compensation package may include such perks as generous retirement plans, a health insurance, a chauffered limousine, an executive jet, interest free loans for the purchase of housing, etc. Administrators are faced with the challenge of designing a reward system that is equitable for both the organization and its employees, and indirect compensation is a crucial component of any good benefits package. Once a reward system is in place, employees need to be made aware of the rewards of being an employee of your organization. Compensation and benefits affect the productivity and happiness of employees, as well as the ability of an organization to effectively execute its business plan. It is to your benefit to make sure your employees are creatively compensated and aware of their benefits.

[edit] Karl Markx
Karl Marx (1818-1883) Karl Heinrich Marx was born on May 5, 1818 in the city of Trier, Germany. His father was a lawyer who came from a long line of Rabbis, but had changed his faith to Protestantism in order to keep his job. Karl Marx went to the University of Bonn to study law when he was 17 years old. Here he became engaged to Jenny von Westphalen, whose father, Baron von Westphalen, influenced Marx to read Romantic literature and Saint-Simonian politics. Only a year later, Marx was moved by his father to the University of Berlin where he studied Hegelianism, influenced by Ludwig Feuerbach and other Hegelians. He admired Hegel's dialectics and belief in historical inevitability, but Marx questioned the idealism and abstract thought of philosophy and maintained his belief that reality lies in the material base of economics. In distinct contrast to Hegel's concentration on the state in his philosophy of law, Marx saw civil society as the sphere to be studied in order to understand the historical development of humankind. In 1841 Marx earned his doctorate at Jena with his work on the materialism and atheism of Greek atomists. It was difficult for Marx to find publishers because of his radical political views, so he moved to Cologne, which was known to house a strong liberal opposition movement. The liberal group the Cologne Circle published a paper by Marx defending the freedom of the press in their newspaper The Rhenish Gazette (in 1942 he was made the editor of the paper). In Cologne Marx met Moses Hess, a radical who organized socialist meetings, which Marx attended. At these meetings Marx learned of the struggles of the German working-class. Based on the information he gathered from the members present at the meetings, Marx wrote an article on the poverty of the Mosel wine-farmers in which he was highly critical of the government. When the article was published in 1843, the Prussian authorities banned The Rhenish Gazette and threatened Marx with his arrest. Marx married his fiancé and they fled together to Paris. Here he took a position as editor of a political journal called Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher (Franco-German Annals) that was designed to connect French socialism and radical Hegelianism. Although the journal only lived as long as one issue, it was a valuable opportunity for Marx. Through it he met his life-long friend Friedrich Engels, a contributor to the journal. Other prominent contributors included his old mentor from Berlin, Bruno Bauer, and the Russian anarchist Michael Bakunin. While in Paris, Marx became a communist, and worked primarily on studying political economy and the history of the French Revolution. He wrote a series of papers known as ÷konomisch-philosophische Manuskripte aus dem Jahre (Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, 1844), however they were not published until the 1930s. The Manuscripts are influenced by Feuerbach and outline a humanist idea of communism. Marx contrasts capitalist society, and an alienated nature of labor, with communist society, in which human beings in cooperative production develop their nature freely. In 1844 Marx reviewed Bruno Bauer's book On the Jewish Question. More than a review, Marx used the article to critique the continued influence of religion over politics, and propose a revolutionary change to the structure of European society. In 1845 Marx was expelled from France by Guizot. He fled with Engels to Brussels where they stayed for three years with intermittent trips to England to visit Engels' family who had cotton-spinning interests in Manchester. While in Brussels Marx wrote a piece against the idealistic socialism of P.J. Proudhon called The Poverty of Philosophy. He also worked on his materialist conception of history, and developed the manuscript that would come to be named The German Ideology when it was published after his death. This paper argues that the nature of an individual is dependent upon the material conditions that determine his production. It is a historical study of modes of production through the ages, and in it Marx predicts the collapse of industrial capitalism and the advancement of communism. Marx joined the Communist League at this time, which was an organization of German émigré workers centered in London. Marx and Engels became the major theoretical force of the League, and at a conference in 1847 they were commissioned to write a declaration of the League's position. The hope was that the Manifest der kommunistischen Partei (The Communist Manifesto) would inspire social revolution, and no sooner was it published than the 1848 revolutions broke out across Europe. This work marks a turn in Marx's writing from appealing to natural rights as justification for social reform, to indicating that the laws of history would inevitably lead to the power of the working class. The Manifesto distinguishes communism from other movements, proposes specific social reforms, and includes a description of the struggles between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. It also explicitly encourages workers to unite in revolution against the existing regimes. The panic caused by the February revolution of 1848 caused the Belgian government to expel Marx from Brussels. He was invited by the French provisional government to return to Paris. From there, he returned to Cologne with some friends to start the newspaper the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. The government there attempted to shut down the paper through legal means, and finally succeeded by finding pretexts to expel the editors. Marx and his friends were expelled after the revolts of May 1849, and the newspaper's last edition was June 1849. Marx had to return to Paris, but he was expelled again immediately, and moved on to London, which would be his final home. In London Marx rejoined with the Communist League, confident that there would be further revolutionary action in Europe. He proceeded to write two pamphlets about the 1848 revolution in France and its effects, titled, The Class Struggles in France and The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte. He felt that new revolution would only be possible if there was to be a new crisis, and he hoped to uncover what would cause this crisis. He spent a large amount of his time in the British Museum studying political economy toward this end. For the first part of the 1850s Marx, Jenny, and their four children lived in an impoverished state in a three room flat in London's Soho. The couple would have two more children, but only three in all would survive. The family survived primarily on gifts from Engels whose own income came from the family business in Manchester. Marx also earned a small amount from articles he wrote as the foreign correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune. In 1864 Marx and Engels together founded the International Workingmen's Association, which would finally break up due to disagreements between Marx and the anarchist Mikhail Babuknin. By 1857 Marx had written an 800-page manuscript which was to become Das Kapital (Capital). This is his major work on political economy, capital, landed property, the state, wage labor, foreign trade and the world market. In the early part of the 1860s he took a break from his work on Das Kapital to work on Theories of Surplus Value, a three-volume work. This text discusses specific theories of political economy, primarily those of Adam Smith and David Ricardo. In 1867 Marx published volume I of Das Kapital, an analysis of the capitalist process of production, with an elaboration on his version of labor theory value, surplus value, and exploitation, that he predicted would lead to a falling profit rate and the collapse of industrial capitalism. Marx continued to work on Volumes II and III of Das Kapital for the rest of his life, even though they were essentially finished in the late 1860s. Engels would publish the last two volumes after Marx's death. By 1871 Marx's daughter Eleanor, who was 17 at the time, was helping her father with his work. She had been taught at home by Marx himself, and grew up with a rich understanding of the capitalist system which would allow her to play an important part in the future of the British labor movement. Marx's health rapidly declined during the last ten years of his life and he was unable to work at the same impressive pace he had set in his early years. He still paid close attention to contemporary politics, especially concerning Germany and Russia, and he often offered his comments. In his Critique of the Gotha Programme he critiqued the actions of his admirers Karl Liebknecht and August Bebel, disagreeing with their compromises with state socialism in the interest of a united socialist party. He indicated in his letters to Vera Zasulich of this time that he imagined it could be possible for Russia to bypass a capitalist stage of development and move directly to communism by basing its economy on common ownership of land characterized by the village. In 1881 both Marx and his wife became ill. Marx had a swollen liver, and survived, but Jenny died on December 2, 1881. In January 1883 Marx was deeply saddened by the loss of his eldest daughter to cancer of the bladder. On March 14, 1883 Marx was found having passed away in his armchair. He is buried at Highgate Cemetery in London. [edit] Sourceshttp://www.egs.edu/resources/marx.html

Cleaning on Tet, the first day, is frowned upon on because it is said that if you’re cleaning, you’re cleaning out the good luck for the New Year. Food Families prepare luxury foods that they do not eat on occasion. They will prepare lobster, shrimp, steak, or any foods that they find upper class. But there are foods that are very traditional to the ancestors and to the New Year: rice pudding, beef, chicken, fish, and many fruits. Watermelon is said to be one of the most important dishes because the redness of the fruit represents good luck on Vietnamese New Year. Practices Vietnamese people are very careful on what they do and who they visit on the New Year because they are very superstitious and it determines your luck for the rest of the year. If you visit a sick or a person in mourning then that person will represent death somewhere in the family. On the first day of Vietnamese New Years families welcome other family members to their homes for meals and the first visitor will represent how your family will be. For example, if the first visitor was rich, successful, or happy then it is said that the family will have good fortune. Families also plant a tree called Cay Neu that is decorated with red paper to represent good luck. Parents, other relatives, or people old enough hand out red bags containing money called Li Ce to children to enrich their lives with good luck and fortune. Families also gamble to a game called Gua Bau and if a gambler wins then it is said that he or she will have a good gambling year. The Vietnamese people also go to temple to pray for lost family and friends and to pray for good health and wealth. The biggest New Year celebration takes place in Vietnamese town where many Vietnamese people reside. Dragons roam the streets handing out gifts and candy to children. People also light off fireworks at midnight to let out the old and in with the new. List of Vietnamese Zodiac Signs These are the Vietnamese zodiac signs.

[edit] Pharr Oratory of Saint Philip Neri School System
The school began in 1983, and with the assistance of a small group of Catholic lay faithful, the religious community of the Congregation of St. Philip Neri of Pontifical Right of Pharr, Texas, established its first school, the Oratory Academy, grades PK-K. Classes initially started at “Casa Maria”, a counseling home for women, located on U.S. Route 281 and Rancho Blanco Rd. in Pharr. That year, in the living room of “Casa María”, classes began with 15 students, two part-time volunteers, and one paid employee. The growing number of students led to the relocation of the school to the Parish Hall at St. Judes Thaddeus Church, still in Pharr, TX. In 1998, classes for 2nd grade and up moved to a newly constructed campus located on the corner of Moore Rd. and Jackson Rd. in Pharr and on the border of McAllen, Texas. The other students remained at the parish hall. By this time, the highest grade level the school accepted enrollment for was 10th Grade. In 2006, construction began to expand the recently built campus. Construction is currently scheduled to complete in time for the 2007 school year in which all students will be re-located. The buildings are to hold an estimated 900 students. [edit] Sources

[edit] ptyalismus gravidarum
Ptyalismus Gravidarum is a case of extreme saliva production (drooling) during pregnancy. The condition can last troughout the entire pregnancy, and while it doesn't seem to be unhealty in any way, it is extremely irritating. It would be nice if someone with access to more medical papers could elaborate on the subject, as it seems to be a condition many pregnant woman suffer from ( even though it is an extremely small minority) and general medical practitioners still know little about ( at least here in the netherlands) I think this is valuable knowledge. [edit] SourcesJ Nurse Midwifery. 1999 May-Jun;44(3):291-9. Related Articles, Links Homeopathic remedies in prenatal care. Brennan P. Washtenaw Community College Ann Arbor, MI, USA. The basic concepts of homeopathy are presented, including the vital force, the Law of Similars, the Law of Proving, and the Law of Potentization. The method by which the practitioner applies these laws in a clinical setting in order to choose a homeopathic remedy is described. Careful history taking and observation of the client to ascertain the etiology and location of a complaint, associated sensations, factors that aggravate or ameliorate symptoms, the emotional and mental state, general observations, and strange, rare, and peculiar symptoms are stressed. Specific remedy recommendations for the treatment of leg cramps and other pregnancy-induced discomforts, such as anemia, herpes, nausea and hyperemesis, ptyalism, and pica are included. The use of remedies to turn breech and other malpositioned babies prior to term is presented, as well as discussions on the induction of labor and homeopathic intervention for premature labors. A description of how remedies are administered, handled, and stored is included. Finally, qualifications to practice homeopathy and legal issues for midwives are discussed.

Sialorrhea and gastroesophageal reflux. Mandel L, Tamari K. Salivary Gland Center, Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery, New York 10032, USA. It is not unusual for patients who are pregnant or have a hiatal hernia to develop gatroesophageal reflux with the resultant symptoms of heartburn. This article reviews the role reflux plays in causing episodes of increased salivation. Stimulation of the esophagus by gastric acids excites and esophagosalivary reflex. A marked increase in salivary flow ensues, neutralizing the acid content of the esophagus. The dental practitioner is in a strategic position to be consulted about or recognize the existence of the esophagosalivary reflex and the consequent bouts of sialorrhea. Recognition mandates medical consultation.
Van Dinter MC. University of Wisconsin, Department of Family Medicine and Practice, Madison 53715. Ptyalism affects few pregnant women. Those who suffer from it, however, find it to be a little-known, but major irritant. This article presents several possible etiologies and discusses some vexatious cases of ptyalism. Nursing interventions are also offered. More nursing research must be conducted so that nurses can better understand this problem.
