He’s a deputy—at schools, you have your Coordinator who oversees the show, but they can appoint deputies who then are responsible for directly managing certain parts. Having your director of student conduct who oversees the resolution of student complaints is very normal.

The only reason why I have posted that picture is to keep it simple. Everything described in this article is great, but it was written in a tone that makes it look like the hypothetical enemy in question is a very inept or poorly capable military. Here is an example:

You’re asking Sam Biddle to understand something? Good luck.

Even if Snyder goes down in flames (if that actually happens), the philosophy he espouses is still prevalent in other states. When will Congress and state legislatures realize that cutting budgets have consequences? That at some point you’re done cutting fat, and you’re destroying muscle and bone?

“I like to be modest and I like to keep my dignity. I like to know the purpose of my life. I like to live a healthy lifestyle and avoid harmful things.”

Eeeeh... ballet costumes typically don’t conform to the standards of modesy in place for hijab-wearing muslims. The reality is that hijabis don’t learn ballet.

Bring on the Secret Service Bald Eagles!

Just Google “Falconry” and you see why :)

This is Foxtrot Alpha where A-10 is the answer. Brrttt!

Because their design sucks. They are overweight and under performing.

Ghomeshi is morally reprehensible. Heinen is a (by all accounts, excellent) criminal defence lawyer. I want people like Ghomeshi to have the best possible defence in a neutral court of law, and then to be convicted. She’s a vital part of the system.

I get nervous about my writing before I remember 50 Shades made it. I need to finish revising.

Bowie was from space though, so that probably messes with your understanding of geography.

That’s nice and all but his wishes demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the culture in Bali. First off, it’s not a country - it’s an island in Indonesia. And they are primarily Hindu and Muslim there. Less than 1 percent of the population is Buddhist. Maybe he meant Thailand?

He’s FORTY.

“Bowie was cremated in New Jersey earlier this month.” may be the single most depressing sentence ever written, so congratulations on that.

Yeah, plus give her time to get used to the idea, talk about things, learn from her (Iman) and her brother, maybe get involved in charitable works, etc.

Yeah, but the son’s also twenty-nine years older than she is.

After Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, that affluenza kid, Bieber, etc, I’m kind of applauding this decision.

How nice. Personal assistants and nannies often give up chunks of their personal lives. It’s appropriate that they be treated like one of the family.
