Plan Liberia have 'Raised their Hands to Support Quality Education for Girls.'
Globally, 1 in 3 girls around the world are denied their right to an education by the daily realities of poverty, violence and discrimination. Not only is this unjust. It’s also a serious waste of potential with serious global consequences.
Supporting girls’ education is one of the single best investments we can make to help end poverty. It will save
lives. It will transform futures. It will unleash the incredible potential of girls and their communities.
Over the next five years, Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign aims to support 4 million girls to get the education, skills and support they need to transform their lives and the world around them.
because on my list of 101 things to do before I do I have a spot for "find time to scrap" I've decided to incorporate something new into my 365... it's sort of a 3-fer-1.
One page towards my goal of crossing something off my 101 things list + a 365 + plus a Focus 52 (because I've decided that each of my pages for this year will be my interpretations of Jan's prompts) (I may hyperlink some of these things at a later time so you know what the heck I'm babbling on about...) (have you ever seen a double... oops, I mean triple parenthesis before...? whoa.... )
annnnnnyway...here're the credits for this scrap. Thanks for allowing me to use your lovely work to make a lovely work of my own :)

When we got rid of our broken refrigerator/freezer, I kept the door shelves and bins. I'm using the door shelves to carry my plants. Works pretty well because they are strong and don't bend. #refrigeratorshelf #squash #delicatasquash #kniphofia #lawn May 10, 2018 at 09:52PM
Carrigafoyle Castle is situated at the mouth of the River Shannon, and was referred to as the ‘Guardian of the Shannon’ because of its strategic location overlooking the shipping lanes that supplied the city of Limerick. The castle was probably built in the 1490s by Conor Liath O’Connor. The name Carrigafoyle derives from the Irish Carrig an Phoill, meaning ‘rock of the hole’. The castle consists of a single tower, over 24m in height. During the rebellion of Gerald Fitzgerald, 15th Earl of Desmond the castle was fortified with a garrison of fifty Irish and sixteen Spanish soldiers, who had arrived in Ireland in 1579. The castle was attacked during Easter 1580 by government forces under Sir William Pelham, Lord Justice of Ireland. Tradition recounts the siege as seeing one of the first uses of artillery fire-power in Kerry. On the first day Pelham ordered troops to cross to the sea-wall, where they were pinned down by gunfire and had boulders thrown at them from the battlements. On the second day government reinforcements arrived. The castle walls cracked under the impact of a few shots of cannon and the west wall collapsed, crushing many inside. The remaining occupants of the castle were subsequently put to death.
An unusually wide spiral stairs ascends in one corner of the tower, which has small rooms as well as the main living spaces opening off it. The stone bawn wall at the foot of the castle contained a boat dock. One of the turrets in this wall seems to have been used as a dovecot where pigeons were kept for food.
A wide spiral staircase of 104 steps leads to the battlements and in presentation and size it rivals Blarney Castle. It rises to 26.4 meters and gives an impression of great strength. In the forefront of the view from it, Carrig Island and Scattery Island can be seen across the broad estuary of the Shannon.
Carrigafoyle Castle was the main stronghold of the O Connor Kerry, the principal chieftain of this barony named after him. For 400 years they were an important part of the ever changing political and military jigsaw of those times. From here O Connor Kerry was able to intercept ships going up the Shannon to Limerick, board them and take a part of their cargo. This practice continued until the middle of the 16th century.

i took this picture because it shows my frustration and anger from reading articles of the virus and getting emails about school closure until summer from the school district. I described my anger and frustration in my feelings portion of my essay about school closure.

After this we went to the park for a little quality time in the sun and to spot-check for gophers.

Because getting an education was reserved for the wealthiest, students worked hard to finish and as they neared the completion of their studies, they would often write phrases in Latin in bull's blood on the walls of the University buildings.
Ting Internet Speed Test
How do you test Ting's internet speed? Do you want to measure your Ting internet service provider's internet speed using a speed test?
A significant feature of Speed Test Tool is that it displays unbiased results regardless of the internet service provider, i.e., whether Ting or any other ISP is used. This is because, like all other ISPs, they tend to prioritize download speeds over upload speeds for their users because people prefer downloading to uploading.
How fast should a download be?
It depends significantly on the type of activities a user performs online, but a download speed of 5-10 Mbps is generally sufficient. It consumes more bandwidth to stream HD videos than merely browse social media.
How fast should an upload be?
Upload affects everything you do on the Internet, so a good upload speed is always necessary. An ideal internet connection has symmetrical speed, i.e., equal download and upload speeds. The upload speed is usually prioritized over the download speed by most internet service providers. An upload speed of 1-100 Mbps is generally considered good.
How fast should my Internet be?
Internet speeds of 4-6 Mbps often provide an excellent surfing experience and are fast enough to stream high-definition 720p video. Speeds below this, i.e., 4Mbps, can still be too slow for downloading a few videos within about 20 minutes.
What is the best way to test the speed of my WiFi or wireless connection?
Most internet service providers (ISPs) offer speed test tools, but a third-party speed test gives more reliable, unbiased, and accurate results.
What is the cause of my slow Internet?
You can check for the cause at your end by seeing if you are downloading or streaming anything constantly using bandwidth during the speed test. Your speed test still indicates that your internet connection is slow, so reboot your router if the result remains.
Does my phone/tablet have a different internet speed from my computer?
The Test, My Internet Speed test measures the speed of your internet connection at a particular moment, so that results may vary depending on the amount of network congestion and bandwidth available.
What is the best speed for Netflix, Skype, games, etc.?
Streaming Netflix, using Skype, playing games, and other related activities. When streaming Netflix, using Skype, or playing online games, you need at least 25 Mbps.
How much latency or ping is acceptable for online gaming?
There must be a high ping or latency if you have ever encountered a situation in gaming where the other player jumped on you. Our latency test can help you determine your latency speed. Listed below are some guidelines to help you:
The winning time was 0-59 milliseconds
60-129 milliseconds in the game
130-199 milliseconds of struggle
200+ milliseconds until the game over
What are the benefits of performing the Ting internet speed test with us?
It is usually a conflict of interest when Ting service providers perform their speed tests, so a third-party opinion is always needed. Nevertheless, testing Ting's speed with a third party ensures that Ting is reliable and is not overcharging you. The internet speed test tool is free and unbiased, providing almost accurate results.
How does the Internet work?
The Internet is an extensive network of computers connected by wires or wireless connections. An information-sharing and resource-sharing network is a collection of computers that exchange data with each other to share information and resources, communicate, and transfer data.
How does the Internet Speed Test work?
An Internet speed test measures how fast your internet connection transfers data per second. The data transfer rate is calculated by finding the nearest Internet-connected server from your computer and then transferring the MBs between them. Various factors affect the speed at which files transfer between computers, including the internet connection speed.
The TING Speed Test Service is what it sounds like.
The TING internet speed test is performed by performing various speed tests using your TING internet connection. Our speed test service sends chunks of bytes to TING's nearest server. We first perform a download test, in which chunks of bytes are downloaded from a remote server to your computer, and the transfer rate of downloading that file is measured.
What is the purpose of checking your TING connection speed?
Check your TING internet connection speed since sometimes your ISP's promised connection speed differs from your internet speed by mistake. Therefore, verifying what you are paying for with your speed is essential. You can check your speed instantly with our speed test tool.
How does our speed test tool work?
You can test your speed with our speed test tool for different ISPs. You have to click the start button, and our tool will automatically start testing your download and upload speeds and measuring other parameters related to your network. It will reveal your jitter, latency, download speed, upload speed, and your ISP name and country at the end of the test.
Is there anything I need to do before taking the Ting speed test centennial?
Ensure your internet connection is not used by anyone else in your local network. Close any programs using your internet connection bandwidth before taking a speed test. As a result of a slow connection speed caused by slow data transfer between our server and your computer, the speed test will not give the desired results if other programs are using your Internet.
What is the best way to take a speed test?
You can start the test automatically by clicking the "start" button.
In closing, With Ting, you can test your internet speed online quickly and easily. You can see how long your browser can load a webpage based on your internet connection speed. Using Ting, you can determine if your internet connection is fast enough for your business or if you should upgrade to a faster one.
There is an elementary test that can be done to determine how fast you type.

Because young cats are always sweet. Only a few months old. And not sure to trust that camera yet. But loves the attention.
The tag consists of Hebrew letters spelling the word "Bright." Bright because my name is Gaelic and it is a huge part of who I am. My name is what makes me unique. I used to hate being questioned over and over again on the pronunciation and origin and as a shy child I hated being put in the spotlight. But now I appreciate how it makes me different and it has a special meaning to me now as I grow into the name and it's meaning. When I was young, my parents often told me of the Goddess in Irish mythology, Niamh. She was the queen of TÃr na nÃg, the land of eternal youth. She was the lover of the poet-hero OisÃn, the story is actually quite sad but compelling. It is given in the explanation of another picture on the sight since it is relevant to the picture's meaning. I strive to be thought of as a bright person, meaning kind and energetic, therefore the lettering represents me. I chose Hebrew for two reasons, the first being I grew up in a strict Irish Catholic home. Both my parents were born and raised in Irish Catholic homes as well, my mother even more so since she went to boarding school in a convent run by nuns. Church every Sunday and prayers every night were a natural part of my childhood and define me as a person as well. The second reason being my first real relationship was with a boy who had a tattoo on his arm in Hebrew lettering. The tattoo spelt the word "Spirit" I learnt a lot about myself in that relationship and had some experiences that shaped me into the person I am today. The lettering is against a horse's silhouette. The most obvious reason for this is because horses are possibly the most important thing in my life. I love all animals in general but horses in particular. I have been riding from a young age, no one pushed me to do it, I simply did it out of love for these beautiful animals and soon learned to live horse riding as a sport and continue to ride and work at my barn today. Secondly the horse is a symbol for freedom, a horse is free - something I want to be and something I think everyone should be able to be.
The tag is printed on a background of a girl enjoying the water throwing it up in joy. I thought it would be appropriate simply because I can see myself doing it as I have many times and because of the joy and freedom the picture represents.
Because nature can show us that situations can change for the better and life can start again if only we want it. Early last summer a large area in South Western Sardinia suffered a major fire and everything turned into a graveyard of charred threes. In spite of it, that’s what I saw over the months: timid and green buds began to appear in black branches. A big navette is the symbol of life’s seed into every three which is victim of the red fire in the left side of this necklace. Below, the black color of coal is represented by two fragments of raw shungite and a jagged processing made with beads. The other side of the necklace shows the miracle of rebirth from small, but safe, leafs. Isn’t the green the color of hope?
Because we are crazy, Dale, Tracy, Carmel and I decided to have our hand at some Bahamanian parasailing.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So that they are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Romans 8:7-9
