Horse statues number of legs in air

https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/1087/does-the-number-of-legs-in-the-air-of-a-horse-statue-indicate-how-its-rider-died

look out for the sick, the elderly, the poor, and the most vulnerable among us

It is among the most basic human truths: Every one of us, some day, will be brought to our knees. By a diagnosis we didn't expect, a phone call we can't imagine, or a loss we cannot endure.
That common humanity inspires our mercy. It fortifies our compassion. It drives us to look out for the sick, the elderly, the poor, and the most vulnerable among us.
Yesterday's bill -- yesterday's devastating bill -- does the opposite.
The bill is more than premiums and tax cuts. It is a cold and calculated world view: One that scapegoats the struggling, and sees fault in suffering. One dead set on dividing us based on who we love, where we come from, the direction of our faith and the size of our fortunes.
We see it in their tax plan, their budget cuts, their immigration policy, their civil rights assaults -- and yesterday, in their cruel health care plan.
We must reject it.
We must decide, instead, to take care of each other -- because, but for the grace of God, we will all one day wake up in need of a little mercy.
This nation's character has never been defined by the power we give the already strong -- but by the strength we give the weak.
This is our ultimate test. And it starts right now. Get involved in the fight today:
Thank you,
Congressman Joe Kennedy III

Dana Lawyer

I've hired the lawyer who did a very good job of getting Dana's will and (many) related documents completed fast to handle the probate of the will and establishment of the trust. FYI her name is Alvi Aggarwal, she's in Fairfax VA, and her phone # is 703-239-4427. Nothing you need to do, but just so you have it in case anything happens to me.

Bill 610 has no wording whatsoever protecting special needs kids, no mention of IDEA and FAPE

Sad day for public education in the United States. The U.S. House of Representatives has introduced Bill 610. This bill will effectively start the school voucher system to be used by children ages 5 to 17, and starts the de-funding process of public schools.
The bill will eliminate the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESSA) of 1965 which is the nation's educational law and provides equal opportunity in education. It is a comprehensive program that covers programs for struggling learners, AP classes, ESL classes, classes for minorities such as Native Americans, Rural Education, Education for the Homeless, School Safety (Gun-Free schools), Monitoring and Compliance and Federal Accountability Programs.
The bill also abolishes the Nutritional Act of 2012 (No Hungry Kids Act) which provides nutritional standards in school breakfast and lunch. For our most vulnerable, this may be the ONLY nutritious food they have in a day.
The bill has no wording whatsoever protecting special needs kids, no mention of IDEA and FAPE.
Some things the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESSA) of 1965 does for Children with Disabilities:
-ensures access to the general education curriculum
-ensures access to accommodations on assessments
-ensures concepts of Universal Design for Learning
-includes provisions that require local education agencies to provide evidence-based interventions in schools with consistently underperforming subgroups
-requires states in Title I plans to address how they will improve conditions for learning including reducing incidents of bullying and harassment in schools, overuse of discipline practices and reduce the use of aversive behavioral interventions (such as restraints and seclusion).
Please call your representative and ask him/her to vote NO on House Bill 610 (HR 610) introduced by three Republican reps.
***Please consider copying and pasting this post (rather than hitting "share" so it isn't limited to the friends we have in common). Thanks for advocating on behalf of our nation's youth and their families.

Bill 610

I am a product of public education. EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHANCE TO BE EDUCATED REGARDLESS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. We need to invest MORE in public education not less. Charter schools are NOT the same. Charter schools take money away from public education. Education deserves to be religion-neutral. It deserves to be non-partisan. Please copy and paste the facts below. Please call your representatives. Everyone should know what's at stake.
House Bill 610 (introduced 1/23/2017) makes some large changes. Inform yourselves.
This bill will effectively start the school voucher system to be used by children ages 5-17, and starts the defunding process of public schools.
In addition the bill will eliminate the Elementary and Education Act of 1965, which is the nation's educational law and provides equal opportunity in education.
It would repeal ESSA (Every Students Succeeds Act):
ESSA is a big comprehensive program that covers programs for struggling learners, AP classes, ESL classes, classes for minorities such as Native Americans, Rural Education, Education for the Homeless, School Safety (Gun-Free schools), Monitoring and Compliance and Federal Accountability Programs.
The Bill also abolishes the Nutritional Act of 2012 (No Hungry Kids Act) which provides nutritional standards in school breakfast and lunch.
The bill has no wording whatsoever protecting SN kids, no mention of IDEA and FAPE.
Some things ESSA does for Children with Disabilities
-Ensures access to the general education curriculum.
-Ensures access to accommodations on assessments.
-Ensures concepts of Universal Design for Learning
-Includes provisions that require local education agencies to provide evidence-based
interventions in schools with consistently underperforming subgroups.
-Requires states in Title I plans to address how they will improve conditions for learning including reducing incidents of bullying and harassment in schools, overuse of discipline practices and reduce the use of aversive behavioral interventions (such as restraints and seclusion).
Please call your representative in congress and ask him/her to vote NO on House Bill 610 (HR 610) introduced by three Republican reps.

Coretta King Vs Sessions

Here's the text of Coretta Scott King's letter that Mitch McConnell didn't want anyone to hear.
I write to express my sincere opposition to the confirmation of Jefferson B. Sessions as a federal district court judge for the Southern District of Alabama. My professional and personal roots in Alabama are deep and lasting. Anyone who has used the power of his office as United States Attorney to intimidate and chill the free exercise of the ballot by citizens should not be elevated to our courts. Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters. For this reprehensible conduct, he should not be rewarded with a federal judgeship.
I regret that a long-standing commitment prevents me from appearing in person to testify against this nominee. However, I have attached a copy of my statement opposing Mr. Sessions' confirmation and I request that my statement as well as this be made a part of the hearing record.
I do sincerely urge you to oppose the confirmation of Mr. Sessions.

PHYS ED. Victoria was supposed to give me a nutrition log for the semester, Instead I received four days of a nutrition log which only included two meals per day. Also, I did not receive any work out log. I understand she is inside however there are many things she can do ( body weight exercises, push ups, sits ups, squats etc.) that do not require her to go outside. If you have any other questions please feel free to e-mail me. Thank you. Mr. Vander May 
MATH I will issue a grade change once I receive all her assignments, I believe she is missing her post tests in proportional reasoning and slope and some of the supporting topics. Also, please make I receive her notes from the module functions. Best Regards,

Do not allow unWARRANTED search seizure do NOT give permission

Especially if you're involved in a protest, this is very important. Lawn force meant people may insist on searching anyway, but it will be an illegal search and there's a good chance of the evidence will be thrown out in court. Do not agree to a search unless the enforcement person has a warrant.unfortunately the more innocent you are the more you need to remember this
Carlo Fiorletta
8 mins
Keep whatever you must keep in your car in trunk or glove compartment. Do not give unwarranted permission to search.
Whether You Are A Citizen, Or Not Do Not Allow The Law Enforcement Officers To Enter Your Home Without A Warrant.

Trump Muslim ban is likely to get Americans killed.-Chris Murphy

Donald Trump's long-awaited Muslim ban became a reality yesterday. No, you might say, it's not actually the proposal he outlined during the campaign. True, the ban doesn't cover every Muslim globally, just a set of Muslims from countries Trump perceives, rather arbitrarily, to be dangerous.
But yesterday's announcement is anchored in his campaign rhetoric, and the fact that every country on yesterday's list is a Muslim-majority nation confirms that he meant what he said - that Muslims are dangerous and need to be treated differently than any other set of people.
This is why yesterday's proposal is likely to get Americans killed.
ISIS, the most dangerous of a global array of radical Islamic terrorist groups, is in retreat. Every day, they lose more territory, and it is only a matter of time before their self-proclaimed caliphate disappears before the world's eyes. The continual loss of territory robs from ISIS one of their two main rationales for existence - the creation of a geographic entity based on their perverted interpretation of Islam.
But ISIS has a second purpose - to take part in an imagined global struggle of civilizations between Christians and Muslims. President Obama and President Bush before him knew the danger of stoking talk of war between east and west. Obama knew how important this kind of talk was to ISIS's recruitment and expansion, and he went out of his way to tamp it down.
Trump has now handed ISIS a path to rebirth. They can and will use his announcement as confirmation that America is at war with Muslims, especially those Muslims living in desperate circumstances. Their recruitment bulletin boards will light up with new material. Their entreaties to would-be lone wolf attackers in America will have new energy and purpose.
All the work we have done to cut down on extremist recruitment at home and abroad now goes out the window. It's a new day for terrorist recruiters.
And the list is dangerous for other reasons. It makes Americans think that terrorists can be contained simply by focusing on a few countries that are often in the news. But the real threats to America are much broader than just these countries. Where is Saudi Arabia on this list? Or Pakistan? Does Trump not recall that the attackers on September 11th came not from Syria or Iran or Sudan, but from Saudi Arabia, our supposed ally? And what about Europe, a continent that now enjoys relatively unfettered travel rights to the United States? Radicalized European citizens have already carried out massive terrorist attacks, and under current law, they can travel to the U.S. without almost any security screening. Terrorist threats do not originate in one set of countries, and thus a geographic approach is feckless.
If President Trump was serious about tackling the terrorist threat, he would make sure the Europeans were sharing counterterrorism intelligence with each other, and with us, so we can track potential terrorists no matter what country they come from. Another commonsense measure would be to ban people on the terrorist watch list from buying deadly firearms in America. But rather than do any of these things that would actually make Americans safer, Trump is pursuing misguided policies rooted in bigotry and fear.
And the boon to flailing terrorist groups is just the beginning of the tragedy of yesterday's announcement. During my last trip to the Middle East, I was upbraided by our allies in the region for our country's refusal to help them with the flow of refugees out of Iraq and Syria. Over and over they told me, as they had told the Obama Administration, that we would never be perceived a partner in the fight against Islamic extremism if we washed our hands of the refugee problem.
We assail Libya and Yemen and Syria and Iraq with bombs, and then simply expect other countries to deal with the consequences. We make the mess, then expect others to clean up. This infuriates our friends and damages our partnerships. Now, Trump's Muslim ban will risk severing ties between us and many of these nations. They will see our policy as xenophobic and detrimental to the displaced persons crisis in the region. Our ability to build a truly multi-national response to extremism will become impossible.
Finally, the decision to turn our backs on millions of men, women, and children attempting to flee torture and terror shrinks us as a nation, and marks an unconscionable abandonment of our founding principles. Remember, those who make it into the U.S. refugee program have survived the worst of the worst - they are those who are so badly injured, so in danger, that they cannot survive in refugee camps. The vast majority of them are women, young children and the elderly. They are desperate and scared, and without harbor in the United States, many of them will perish.
We are a nation founded by religious refugees. Over and over, we have opened our doors to those fleeing war and terror. Jews during the Second World War. The Vietnamese in the 1960s and 1970s. Bosnians and Albanians during the Balkan War. I am proud to represent Connecticut, a state which is a testament to this past practice. Each time we found ways to sort out the good guys (99%) from the bad guys (1%). There were terrorists in Vietnam and the Balkans who wanted in - we kept them out. We can do the same here. We can protect ourselves from terror and rescue others from terror - these are not mutually exclusive ends.
And we must do both. Trump's Muslim ban is a moral abomination. It is fundamentally un-American. And it is dangerous - it will give life back to the terrorist movement and eventually get Americans killed.
We knew this was coming. Trump means what he says, and now his offensive ramblings against people of Muslim faith are edified in law. But we don't have to accept it. We must fight this new policy. We must seek to rescind it. We must let the world know that Trump's discriminatory views do not reflect the true America. And we must rally Americans who think that keeping Muslims out keeps us safe to understand that this policy does exactly the opposite.
This isn't who we are. It's not who we should be. And I will fight this policy with all that I have.
