Spring Flowers, Purple Crocus, Yellow Daffodil, Glory of the Snow

in time of daffodils (who know, the goal of living is to grow) forgetting why, remember how - e.e. cummings Spring Flowers in Central Park New York City, New York, in the last week of march. Here we see Purple Crocus, the Yellow Daffodil or Narcissus and Chionodoxa forbesii or Glory of the Snow. Daffodils, along with Crocuses and Snowdrops, are one of the earliest of spring flowers and are always a welcome sign that winter is finally over. - Central Park Flowers: Image License: I, (sookietex) the creator of this work, hereby release it into the public domain.

Earth Hour City Lights from Space

Bright city lights along the coastline and interior delineate the eastern coast of the United States at night. Known as the “city that never sleeps,” New York City with its population of more than 8 million residents (in 2000) is the largest and brightest metropolitan area along the coast.

The metropolitan area straddles the Hudson River and spreads eastward over Long Island. Philadelphia is the second largest city in this image, situated south of New York (lower left in this scene). One of the most richly historic of U.S. cities, Philadelphia is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.

The crew of the International Space Station took this image from a vantage point well to the northeast of the cities, with the camera pointed westward back towards New York City and the coast. The result is that the perspective is highly distorted but still recognizable. Low clouds have formed over the waters of the Atlantic and have settled into some of the valleys of the Appalachian Mountains to the northwest.

American chaplain Rabbi Hershel Schaecter conducts Second Passover services for Buchenwald survivors shortly after liberation.

Pictured in the first row wearing shorts is Robert Buechler, while the youth sitting in front of the lecturn, looking back at the camera, is Stefan Jakubowicz. Israel Meir Lau is pictured sitting third from left, in the first row, between two American soldiers. Seated in the second row are Jakub Chojt (left side, wearing a white shirt) and brothers, Yosl Bekiermaszyn, now Baker, (middle of the row, wearing a black jacket) and Boruch Bekiermaszyn (two to the right of him). Seated in the front row (sixth from the right, wearing dark coat) is Izak Farbman.

The Shavuot service commemorates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. The previous month, Rabbi Schachter had also led a Second Passover service since the survivors did not have a chance to celebrate Passover on its actual date. The day after this Shavuot service was held, a group of Jewish children were repatriated to their homes in Czechoslovakia.

State Income Taxes

State income tax From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia State income tax is an income tax in the United States that is levied by each individual state.

Some states choose to impose no income tax. These states are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Additionally, New Hampshire and Tennessee limit their state income taxes to dividends and interest income only. As of 2007, the highest rate of state income tax is that of Vermont, with a maximum rate of 9.5%. Of those states which impose an income tax, the lowest maximum rate is that of Illinois, which levies a flat tax of 3%.

Most states (36) have a progressive income tax, where the rate rises as an income gets larger. In California, for instance, the rate begins at 1% at $6,622 in income and rises to 9.3% over $43,468. In 2005, California added a mental health tax of 1% on incomes greater than $1,000,000, making the marginal income tax rate in California 10.3% at the extreme income ranges.

Passover Haggadah (Seder Haggadah shel Pesah)

Seder Haggadah shel Pesah (Passover Haggadah) (Amsterdam, 1695). Moses (right and above) and Aaron, his older brother and the founder of the Jewish priesthood, are depicted on the title page of the Amsterdam Haggadah. An equally influential haggadah, which became the prototype for subsequent Ashkenazi haggadot, appeared in Amsterdam in 1695. Known as "The Amsterdam Haggadah,"

it was extensively illustrated with copper engravings executed by the proselyte Abraham ben Jacob, who based his depictions on those of Matthaeus Merian, a Christian artist popular in the early seventeenth century. The Amsterdam Haggadah's illustrations were widely imitated and copied over the course of the next century both in printed works and in manuscripts. Beauty in Holiness
