The Free Market Must Account for Environmental and Social Impact
The article discusses and adapts an SSIR Article, which can be found here. This blog is by Sara Olsen, a Founding Boardmember of Social Value United States, a Joint National Network of Social Value International.
On the heels of the news from the Business Roundtable regarding its updated corporate governance stance that stakeholders are as "essential" as shareholders, the business community writ large needs clarity about HOW businesses are to account for stakeholder value. Sixteen leaders in this field have developed an article just published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review that articulates, at a high level, the shared consensus about how this is done, that each of us has witnessed emerge over the many years that we have worked toward the answer.
The basis for our observations of this shared consensus comes from, among other experiences:
aligning 100% of foundations' and of family offices' assets with their stated social missions and values;
defining and applying methodologies within investment portfolios ranging from $20 million to $9 billion in syndicated AUM for how to account quantitatively for those portfolio's "social return on investment" and "net environmental benefits";
starting and growing path-breaking companies, social enterprises, private equity funds, venture philanthropy organizations, foundations and academic institutions with global reach;
careers practicing path-breaking mixed-methods evaluation in the nonprofit, philanthropic government, social enterprise and impact investing arenas; financial accounting, audit, forensic accounting, and sustainability audits for multinational corporations.
This article has been a long time coming. It was my tremendous privilege to work with these remarkable co-authors and humans: Clara Miller, Ben Carpenter, David Pritchard, Brian Beachkofski, William J. Kelly, Karim Harji, Jane Reisman, John Byrnes, Jed Emerson, Eric Israel, Shi Yuwei, Veronica Olazabal, Tom Woelfel, Michael Harnar, and Shubha Kumar.
Here is an excerpt of the full article:
"In furthering the [Impact Management Project's] IMP's consensus-building effort, we have found that there are three basic elements to the emerging [stakeholder value] accounting system:
"1. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) accounting | ESG typically refers to the measurement of an entity's efforts to enact best practices with respect to ESG factors through its direct operations (e.g., employee health and safety, gender diversity), its products (e.g., consumer protection), and its distribution and supply chain (e.g., human rights protection). ESG is typically assessed using a predetermined list of indicators of these practices, and such lists now exist, as do rankings based upon them….
"2. Accounting for impact | Beyond measuring and disclosing their ESG performance, companies are beginning to measure and report on their specific positive or negative impacts, particularly ones that affect pressing social or environmental challenges. The scope of impact accounting varies according to the nature, size, and complexity of an undertaking….
"Although it is impossible to come up with a master list of predetermined indicators to cover the particular impacts of every business in context, IMP participants and supporters have reached a shared understanding of the dimensions of impact performance that matter for a complete and comparable picture (and therefore the types of data to collect, organize, and disclose to stakeholders) and on general principles that can guide practitioners in their judgments about what to measure, and how to measure it, in any given context.
"3. Accounting for the ESG-impact-financial-performance relationship | Frameworks to account for and understand the relationship between ESG and impact, on the one hand, and financial performance, on the other, now exist. Whether an investor focuses on the ESG factors that are material to financial performance in the near term (the way the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board does) or sets out to measure and manage the full range of interaction more broadly and strategically (the way Integrated Reporting does), it is clear that environmental and social factors affect financial performance—and vice versa…."
More detail about specific guidance and standards that pertain to these three elements, and the effort to grow this shared consensus, which you are and can be part of, is contained in the article.
Please join the effort to activate all CEOs in leading the advent of a new era in which business is accountable for, and thus grows, value not only for shareholders but also for people and the planet.

Mini 7s Camogie
Caherelly N.S. have been crowned I.N.T.O. Mini 7s County Camogie champions for the first time ever! On Wednesday the 18th of April 2018 the girls in Caherelly N.S. made history by winning the competition in Mick Neville Park Rathkeale. The Allianz I.N.T.O. mini 7s is a competition which takes place each year in football, hurling and camogie, for girls and boys and is open to all schools to enter. It is a 7-a-side competition with matches of 7 minutes per half. This was an amazing experience for us all and is one of the highlights of my Primary School life!
We started training after mid-term with Ms Ryan, Mrs McGuinness and Andrew Ryan and luckily all of our training paid off. The qualifiers were held in April in Caherelly with Crecora and ourselves being the two teams to go through to the East finals in Doon on April 16th. On that blustery day we played Lisnagry, Crecora, Tineterrife and Knockea. Each team played fought hard and put it up to us but we came away with the East title. We were very happy winning the East Final as it was our school's first time to win in all the years of taking part. The boys also did very well and got into the East final but unfortunately they didn't get through on the day.
We didn't have long to wait until the County final as it took place only two days later in Rathkeale. The four teams who qualified were, Caherelly (East), Raheenagh (West), Bruree (South) and Patrickswell (City). With nerves building up beforehand we headed off on the bus to Rathkeale. Mrs McGuinness and Andrew spoke to us about what we had already achieved and calmed our nerves. Once the ball was thrown in all we thought was the match and playing as a team. We fought very hard and put everything we had practised into action knowing what was at stake. With two matches played against Raheenagh and Bruree and two victories under our belt, we faced Patrickswell. The also had won two matches so it was going to be down to this result to determine who would be crowned champions. We gave it everything, we marked our players and got into good positions. The wind was very strong on the day and our opposition were skilful. When the final whistle blew we knew that we had given it everything and the title was ours. The feeling was unreal! We were all so delighted and it was definitely worth all the bruises! We were presented with the I.N.T.O. Allianz Shield by Bro. James Dormer, Secretary of the Limerick Cumman na mBunscol.
The celebrations began with a stop at the shop where Mrs. Allen, our Principal treated us to ice-creams. Arriving back at school was a special moment for all of us as the whole school had lined out in a Guard of Honour. We felt like heroes as we walked together through the archway of hurleys. Parents , children and teachers cheered and clapped for us. Representing my school has been a huge privilege. It wouldn't have been possible without my amazing team mates, we played as a team and supported each other in every game. Maybe some day we will play for Limerick together in Croke Park!

Q&A: What's behind the spike of violence in Iraq?
July 29, 2013 · 4:57 PM UTC
By Alexander Besant
Hardly a week has gone by in 2013 without gunmen and bombers targeting scores of people in Iraq.
Sectarian violence in the country has reached levels last seen between 2006 and 2008, renewing fears of an outright civil war between Shias and Sunnis.
While July's death toll estimates were the highest in five years, the United Nations said Tuesday that nearly 1,000 people had been killed in September.
Much of the recent violence has been attributed to Sunni extremists fomenting unrest and putting pressure on the Shia-led government.
The attacks have largely targeted Shia civilians and Iraqi security forces.
Iraq's Sunni minority, which complained of being politically marginalized under the post-Saddam government, has also felt the pressure of a recent government crackdown against Sunni protesters.
The security situation in Iraq deteriorated further when security forces allegedly attacked a protest camp in the northern city of Hawija in April. While the Iraqi government put the death toll at 27, protesters reported at least 50 killed.
Human Rights Watch called for an investigation into whether security forces used excessive and lethal force, and while Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki commissioned an investigation, no results have been released.
Since then, violence has continued on a near-daily basis culminating in last week's massive prison break that saw about 500 convicts escape, including hardened militants and Al Qaeda operatives.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, formed through a merger between Al Qaeda's Syrian and Iraqi branches, claimed responsibility for orchestrating the jailbreak.
GlobalPost talked to Iraq expert and Middle East analyst Jared Levy (JL) and Patrick Osgood (PO), Kurdistan correspondent for the Iraq Oil Report.
A massive spike in violence has seen thousands of Iraqis killed in violence in recent months. Why has this happened?
JL: My read is that upticks in violence in Iraq are catalyzed by periods of political instability. This is particularly true of violence perpetrated by Sunni takfiri groups such as Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISI) as well as more nationalistic Sunni insurgent groups like Jaysh Rijal al-Tariq al-Naqshabandi (JRTN). These groups are looking to maximize the impact of their attacks.
In this vein, I think this current wave of violence is linked to the protest movement that spread across the provinces with a majority Sunni-Arab population following the arrest of several of former Finance Minister Rafi al-Issawi's bodyguards. [Editor's note: Rafi al-Issawi became the first senior Sunni member of the Shia-led Maliki government to resign in March 2013 in the wake of the anti-government protests.] That being said, at this stage in Iraq, I think there's also a healthy degree of depraved nihilism at work as well.
What was the protest encampment in Hawija about and why did the government crack down so hard?
JL: I think the government made the decision to clear the protest camp for two reasons. First, it was a response to a recent incident of individuals connected to the protest movement in Hawija attacking security forces in the area. Second, at that phase of the protest movement, I think the central government wanted to take a stand that they weren't going to allow sustained financially disruptive activity, such as permanent encampments, or protracted blocking of major highways.
Iraq's violence is characterized by a shocking number of suicide bombings. Who are the bombers and why do they do it?
JL: There was a time — primarily from 2005 to 2007 — when a significant percentage of suicide bombings in Iraq were carried out by foreign fighters from North Africa and elsewhere in the Middle East. My sense is that is no longer the case, and currently the overwhelming majority of suicide bombers are Iraqi. As for why people do it, there's no magic variable that we can put our fingers on to understand why people become suicide bombers. Those motivations are different across time and space.
I've never seen data on the backgrounds of deceased suicide bombers in Iraq, but if I had to guess on motivations; there is no shortage of young men who have had one or more family members killed, been exposed to years of sectarian violence or violence perpetrated by coalition forces, who feel they have no economic prospects.
I would also speculate that in most suicide attacks, there are multiple actors at play, each with different motivations, so it's not just a suicide bomber acting in a vacuum. There are financiers, political or religious ideologues, and operational planners. All of these actors are to some degree involved in manipulating the actual bomber into mentally preparing for, and then carrying out a suicide attack.
The recent prison break in Iraq reportedly saw 500 criminals and extremist militants released back onto the streets. What are the consequences?
JL: There are a significant number of high value AQI/ISI prisoners, many of whom were awaiting death sentences for acts of terrorism, being housed at Abu Ghraib prison. I haven't seen a dossier of the names and supposed affiliations of the escapees, but at this stage, it seems fair to assume that some of these escapees were seasoned AQI/ISI members. I would also dare speculate that for AQI, busting non-AQI members out of Abu Ghraib, many of whom were no doubt subjected to human rights abuses by Iraqi security forces, is a pretty strong recruiting tool for that pool of escapees, but also in general.
As evidenced by the recent spree of violence culminated by fairly sophisticated operations targeting two supposedly highly secured facilities, and periodic coordinated attacks across a wide geographic space, Al Qaeda retains the ability to wreak havoc on a wide scale. That said, AQI remains a fringe group. A significant proportion of their violence has targeted Iraq's Sunni Arab populace. AQI and affiliates spent years literally killing entire families and hanging them from chandeliers. I don't care how politically and economically marginalized civilians in Anbar, Ninewa, Diyala, Salahaddin and Kirkuk are, I don't see them flocking en masse to AQI, or looking at the group as their path to redemption. I would be more worried about the capacity for nationalist groups like JRTN to cultivate that kind of broad support if relations between Baghdad and the provinces I just mentioned sour further.
How have the Kurdish areas fared during all of this bloodshed?
PO: Kurds in Kirkuk, for example, have borne an increase in violence over the last six months or so, with the usually somewhat safer Kurdish areas, including political offices, targeted by bombings. In the last two weeks there have also been more gun attacks and bombings targeting the Kurdish Peshmerga. But inside the three main provinces of the region — Dohuk, Erbil and Suleimaniyah — things have remained remarkably safe. Unlike the rest of Iraq, no opposition of the incumbent regional government wants to see its security apparatus fail.
With that loyalty, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has created a pervasive and effective intelligence network that would be impossible in the rest of Iraq. The concern now may be that, with Al Qaeda and other militias looking to widen any points of fracture, the KRG's security apparatus in Iraq's disputed territories could be sorely tested, and the presence of Kurdish forces in some of these areas is not necessarily a guarantor of increased security. The area southwest of Kirkuk running down to Tuz Khurmato in Salahedinn province — where the Turkmen population has been targeted aggressively — is a case in point.
Can we expect more in the future? What is the prognosis?
JL: One thing that will be interesting to watch is how [Prime Minister] Maliki responds to this deluge of violence. Historically, he's run for office on a security and stability platform. He really can't do that any more in any kind of credible fashion. So, instead you're going to see increasingly hostile rhetoric certainly from the Mutahidun bloc of Parliamentary Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi attacking Maliki for security failures, and there will likely be an increase in that rhetoric from some of the other Shia Islamist parties, notably the Sadrist's Ahrar Block and the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
All of these aforementioned entities are going to attack Maliki for the deteriorating security environment in the lead up to next year's parliamentary elections. What I worry is that Maliki will sense he is increasingly boxed into a corner, and in an effort to stem attacks, take increasingly draconian security measures that are just going to serve to further polarize Iraq's populace into pro- and anti-status quo camps.


The fisheries sector plays a significant role in the Indian economy contributing nearly 1 percent to the nation's GDP (FAO, 2015). The present study focuses on explaining the competitiveness of seafood trade of India and its efficiency and relative advantage in Indian market. These results have clearly shown that India does have comparative advantage in exporting Fish and fish products. India is facing the decline of XCI (>1) since last two years and it was repeated in past too, but it founds competitive in the export of fish. If proper attention has been paid towards the export procedure and quality enhancement in export of seafood, India can incorporate this irregularity in competitiveness which lead fisheries a major foreign currency contributing sector. India has less import and increasing export thus leading to positive trade advantage (RTA) and is progressing consistently. India reflects the strong competitive power in the export of seafood as it was greater than 1 to a large extent. The study suggests major determinants like fluctuations of price in international market and exchange rate should be incorporated to achieve expected growth rate.

Connecting Entrepreneurial Support
EDGE Innovation Hub Creates Space for Food Innovators
By Susan Post -
Photos by Susan Post
The Grote family has given Columbus (and beyond) well-loved pizza in the form of Donatos, a machine called the Peppamatic through the Grote Company, and now, a new place for food innovation.
The EDGE Innovation Hub celebrated its grand opening April 30 at 1140 Gahanna Pwky.
Hub is an apt name for the space that will bring together a variety of businesses large and small with a focus on what's next in food and food technology.
Family patriarch Jim Grote's eye for innovation gave rise to the creation of the space. He wanted to build a place where his own companies could excel, while also being a creative space for food innovators to come together.
The Hub contains offices and space for events. There's an area for the Grote Company, which specializes in sandwich assembly, pizza topping and slicing machines, to demo their products. There's also production space largely occupied by startup BeeHex.
A NASA spin off, BeeHex specializes in 3D food printing. The futuristic sounding technology has a number of applications, from an automated 3D decorator icing cakes and cookies, to personalized nutrition that can print the perfect food source based on an individual's needs.
BeeHex is just one of the companies that could call the Hub home. Executive Director Craig Turner says they expect to add more startups in the space and fill the offices with a combination of new companies, existing companies, and internally created new ventures.
The Hub is next to Donatos HQ, frozen pizza offshoot Jane's Dough Foods, and the Grote Company, and all have a presence at the Hub. Even though they are all on the same campus, it's the first time the businesses have had a place to come together.
Turner says the first year at The Hub will really be about exploring and seeing where things take them. As the full potential of the space continues to be realized, the Hub has launched an event series to bring other food-based businesses into the space.
The third Friday of every month the Hub hosts EDGE Talks. Food entrepreneurs gather at the space to tell their stories and network with other industry professionals.
"Our goal is to inspire and connect," Turner says.
The next EDGE Talk hosted on Friday, June 21 will feature Letha Pugh of Bake Me Happy and Anjan Contractor of BeeHex.
Turner says with the grand opening of the space they've heard from a variety of food-based businesses large and small, new and established. They're helping where they can, which Turner says looks different for each business. It could be giving them a platform to share more about their operations at an EDGE Talk, or a more informal mentorship relationship.
Long-term the Hub's innovation could extend outside the four walls of the building. Turner is excited about the prospects of an acre plot of land on the campus. The plan is to transform it into farmland and leverage it as a place for education around food literacy to help people understand where food really comes from.

If you're looking for an alternative to deep frying spring rolls, try baked spring rolls.
Mrs. Spud loves a spring roll, but they're not always the most convenient thing to make. But this version is pretty quick to knock up. Some baked recipes aren't a patch on their fried alternatives, but this is one that does work really well.
I love deep-fried food – a lot – but doing it at home is a faff, messy and smelly. Baking can be a an alternative to deep frying with the right recipe. For this recipe you can mix up the fillings as you wish and change according to what's in your fridge.
The hardest things are the spring roll wrappers, but larger supermarkets offer them now in both fresh and frozen varieties. Of course if you have access to a Chinese grocer you'll have no problems.
Try this baked spring roll recipe and let me know how you get on.
Mix all the filling ingredients together thoroughly. Put a heaped tablespoon of the mixture in the centre of a wrapper. Roll up and fold over each end, a little water may help to seal. Place on a greased baking tray.

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colorado, stopped by Littleton's Bemis Public Library on Aug. 6.
Bennet and the so-called "Gang of Eight" used the Littleton Immigrant Resource Center, housed in the library, as a model for part of the immigration-reform bill that passed the Senate in June.
"This is a great example of how to do it right," said Bennet.
He met with volunteers, students, mentors and lots of people who keep the program ticking. One of those was Ikbal Maardni, a Syrian woman who came to Colorado in 2004. She earned citizenship in 2012 with help from LIRC and still works with its volunteers to improve her English. She enjoyed the library setting so much that she volunteered there for seven years and became a paid employee two years ago.
Bennet asked her how she ended up in Littleton.
Mayor Debbie Brinkman said LIRC staff has worked very hard to help Maardni and other newcomers feel at home.
"Welcoming them and assisting them in their assimilation makes a lot more sense than making them feel isolated," she said.
Bennet's bill seeks to provide upward of $100 million in federal support for local programs such as LIRC. They'll be essential to ensuring the success of other aspects of the law, he said, like the requirement to learn English.
"You can require it, but if you don't actually have programs in place to teach English, you're not going to succeed," said Bennet.
LIRC is currently supported by the city, grants and fundraising efforts by the Littleton Immigration Integration Initiative.
"I became concerned that if we didn't reach out to new people, we could end up as a divided, we/they community," Susan Thornton, a founder of LI3, told Bennet.
Tim Nimz, library director, said such national attention on LIRC is a great boon as it seeks to sustain itself, especially as a service not normally offered by municipalities.
"That's, I think, a real compliment to what's happening with the program and the priorities of the community," he said.


Yesterday was the first class day of a course I'm taking at UT, "Arts of Islam: from Caliphs to Sultans (650-1500 AD)" taught by Professor Stephennie Mulder. I'm looking forward to many new discoveries like the one below.
Blacas ewer, inlaid bronze, Mosul, 1232.
Blacas ewer detail, inlaid bronze, Mosul, 1232.
And more visions of Muslim art through the lens of Western film.
In 1940 the The Thief of Bagdad won the Academy Awards for Cinematography, Art Direction and Special Effects and was nominated for Original Music Score.
I have such a soft spot for these huge studio films of old. Though the full film is below, it is cued to the scene where the flying horse is assembled before being piloted through the sky.


Bradley was out on a delivery Tuesday and wasn't immediately available for comment when contacted at the store. A store manager referred a request to Salazar, who declined to make Bradley available for an interview. Salazar also declined to name the managers involved or specify whether they resigned or were fired.
Bradley told WSET-TV (http://bit.ly/1T52aam) that a store manager called to order him off an Aug. 3 delivery at the customer's request.
"I asked them why I couldn't do it, and he said 'because you're black and they don't want you at the house,'" Bradley said.
Co-worker Alex Brooks, who is white, said that when he and Bradley returned to Lowe's, Bradley was replaced with another white driver. Brooks said he refused to be involved in the delivery.
"To me, it just ain't right for a business that we work at to go along with the woman's wishes," Brooks told the station.
"We want to make sure our drivers know they have our full support," Salazar said.

Kids: Get a Dose of Nature This Summer

If being outdoors is essential for growing children, then Michigan must be the perfect playground.
"Anyone who has had the chance to walk in the woods, or catch a fish, or camp under the stars in Michigan knows just how wonderful it is to be outside," said Matt Pedigo, chair of the Michigan Wildlife Council. "We're so lucky to have our natural resources and are thankful for the people that work so hard to manage them."
The Michigan Wildlife Council was created three years ago to educate the public about how Michigan's wildlife and natural resources are managed and how those activities are funded.
The more kids can explore their environment, the more likely they are to take an active role to preserve it, experts say.
Luckily there are plenty of fun programs, camps and events to get more time outside this summer – and learn something about Michigan's great outdoors, too.

"Up North" in downtown Detroit
Not really the outdoorsy type? Then the Outdoor Adventure Center (OAC) in the heart of downtown Detroit should be your first stop. Inside the OAC, visitors can get a taste of Michigan's great outdoors with hands-on activities, exhibits and simulators.
"So many people want to get outside, but are unsure what to do when they get there. It's our job to inspire you to try something new outdoors, educate you on how to do it, and then connect you with a place to do it," said Linda Walter, OAC director.
"We have a lot of special programming in the summer to help families get outside."
At the OAC, you can step into a fishing boat and "reel" in a big fish, "hit the trail" on a mountain bike or touch a waterfall right in the center of the city along Detroit's riverfront. Family-friendly weekend programs include fishing, archery, fire safety, falconry, bike rides, nature exploration at nearby Milliken State Park and more.
On the last Wednesday of each month, the OAC offers Wild Over Wednesday, including special programming and free admission from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. This summer, the free events include family-friendly lawn games, camping and hiking.

Let's go exploring
The State Park Explorer Program is another good way to get hands-on experience in the great outdoors. This summer, 42 state parks and recreation areas will offer the outdoor education programs.
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, trained explorer guides offer information at campgrounds and visitor centers on topics ranging from Michigan birds and sand dunes to insects, wetlands and more.
"Our explorer guides know the cool factor in each of their parks and love to connect people with the outdoors," said Karen Gourlay, Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) State Park Explorer Program coordinator. "Our programs are a great way to learn a little bit more about nature."
Special weeklong programs this summer at state parks and recreation areas will focus on fishing, reptiles and amphibians, mammals and invasive species.
Gourlay said explorer guides really go the extra mile to connect folks with Mother Nature.
"Once people are more educated about Michigan's incredible resources, they are inspired to become better stewards of the state parks and the environment," she said.
Many state parks and recreation areas have their own special offerings. At the Waterloo Recreation Area in Chelsea, for example, there's plenty to see and do all day at the park's Eddy Discovery Center.
"Typically during the week we have lots of programming at the Eddy Discovery Center. But on the weekends, that's when we're out and about all over the park with guided hikes, evening programs with campers, and programs about salamanders, frogs, archery, fishing, rock hunting and more," said Katie McGlashen, park interpreter.

Get up close to nature at Metroparks
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks – one of the largest regional park systems in the nation. The system consists of 13 parks covering 25,000 acres throughout Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw and Livingston counties.
Since their creation in 1940, the Metroparks have served as a great spot for southeast Michigan residents to get away from it all.
All summer, the Huron-Clinton Metroparks offer a full calendar of events including canoeing, sailing, birding, hiking, geocaching, swimming, camping and more. There's also a full range of summer camps where kids can explore nature.

Another great way to teach your kids about the outdoors is volunteering. The Huron-Clinton Metroparks offer opportunities to plant native vegetation, remove invasive plants, or collect seeds to be sown at restoration sites within the Metroparks.
These types of management activities take place every day across the Great Lakes state. However, many don't realize that the primary source of funding for conservation work is hunting and fishing license dollars. Natural resource and wildlife management is not funded through state taxes.
In any event, the important thing isn't where you go in Michigan – it's just that you get outside somewhere.
"Great care is taken by so many people to ensure that the great outdoors will be here to be enjoyed for generations to come," said Pedigo. "Don't miss out."

In 2005, AIDS epidemic reaches all-time high.
Connections. 2006 Feb; [1] p.
Nearly 5 million people worldwide were infected with HIV in 2005, marking the largest jump in new cases since the disease was first recognized in 1981, according to the AIDS Epidemic Update 2005 released by UNAIDS last December in conjunction with World AIDS Day. The virus claimed the lives of 3.1 million people in 2005, with more than half a million of these deaths occurring among children. Although sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia continue to remain the hardest hit areas, the report clearly indicates that the virus is continuing to spread at alarming rates within Eurasia, bringing the region to the brink of a full-blown epidemic. The number of people living with HIV in Eastern Europe and Central Asia reached 1.6 million in 2005, a 20-fold increase from 2003. Even more striking, AIDS claimed the lives of 62,000 people there last year-nearly double the mortality rate attributed to the virus 2003. (excerpt)
Report: Albania.
United Nations Population Fund [UNFPA]. Technical and Evaluation Division; United Nations Population Fund [UNFPA]. Division for Arab States and Europe
New York, New York, UNFPA, [1991]. [6], 33 p.
A United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) mission to Albania in 1989 attempted to identify the country's priority population issues and goals. Albania, a socialist country, has made many accomplishments, including an administrative structure that extends down to the village level, no foreign debt, universal literacy, a low death rate (5.4/1000), and involvement of women in development. At the same time, the country has the highest birth rate in Europe (25.5/1000), a high incidence of illegal abortion, lack of access to modern methods of contraception, and inadequate technology in areas such as medical equipment and data collection. Albania's population policy is aimed at maintaining the birth rate at its current level, reducing morality, and lowering the abortion rate by 50% by 1995. Goals for the health sector include increasing life expectancy, reducing infant and maternal mortality, improving the quality of health services, and decreasing the gap between the standard of living in rural and urban areas. Family planning is not allowed except for health reasons. Depending on trends in the total fertility rate, Albania's population in the year 2025 could be as low as 4.6 million or as high as 5.4 million. Albania has expressed an interest in collaborating with UN agencies in technical cooperation projects. The UNFPA mission recommended that support should be provided for the creation of a population database and analysis system for the Government's 1991-95 development plan. Also recommended was support to the Enver Hoxha University's program of strengthening the teaching of population dynamics and demographic research. Other recommendations included activities to strengthen maternal care/child spacing activities, IEC projects, and to raise the status of women.

10 years after the Bucharest Conference, which adopted the World Plan of Action, there is a second World Population Conference to be held in Mexico. The Conference will deal with considering progress since the Bucharest Conference and new population problems which need to be addressed, with respect to the diversity of the governments and cultures represented in Mexico. The Conference is faced with the prospect of deciding in which manner each country should deal with their population problems in the future. However factors such as inflation, growing debts, and unemployment should not be viewed as secondary to population variables. Factors such as bloc policies and arms races are other reasons for the depletion of funds which could be better used for economic and social development. The country of Yugoslavia is affected by these factors, as well. The government believes that peaceful development, globally, might lead to faster social and economic development in lesser developed countries which experience excessive poverty and population growth. Increase diversity in population problems is of great concern to the Yugoslavian government. However, support of United Nations programs, humanitarian aid from developed countries, and the increasing implementation of the World Plan of Action by various countries encourages the Yugoslavian people. However, it is up to each country to develop and implement its own population policy. Factors such as maternal and infant mortality; status of women; rights of each family to decide the size and spacing of their families; and the well-being of the family should be taken into account.

The world rate population growth has decreased slightly over the past decade. However, global development differs from country to country. In some countries, population growth has been replaced by population decline. This particular phenomena is being experienced in developed nations. On the other hand, the developing world is experiencing an alarming population increase, which compromises economic and social development. However, a problem common to both developed and developing countries is an increase in the population of the elderly. It is something that each nation must eventually address in the future. In dealing with present population problems, global cooperation is needed. Bi-lateral and multi-lateral assistance should be emphasized, in addition to programmes implemented by non-governmental organizations. All national programs should take into account the individual rights of all- those who wish to receive family planning services and those who do not. At the center of each population policy should be the improvement of the status of women. The Danish government offers assistance to those countries looking to implement programs which will deal with this particular problem. The government of Denmark looks forward to the World Population Conference to be held in Mexico. It recognizes the importance of reviewing and assessing progress since the Bucharest Conference in 1974.

The government of Portugal, which has undergone various political transformations, has committed itself to improving the socioeconomic conditions of its country. Population problems, however diverse and numerous, still have an effect on the political, social and economic structure of various world societies. It is of utmost importance that population problems be attacked on a global scale, bearing in mind each nation's sovereign right to deal with their problems, individually. Of special attention to each nation and Portugal, in particular, is the status of women, and internal and external migration. The government of Portugal supports the establishment of an organization that protects the rights of emigrants. It is the hope of the government of Portugal that these problems are addressed at the 1984, World Population Conference.
The Netherlands.
Lubbers R
The government of the Netherlands feels that is the duty and concern of all nations to provide favorable social and economic conditions. The 1984 International Conference on Population in Mexico provides the chance for nations to meet and discuss present day population phenomena. The government of the Netherlands, recognizing the basic rights of couples and individuals concerning birth control, supports a non- intervention policy. However, the Dutch government does give its support to in-depth studies on population control and program implementation in developing countries. The United Nations supports and assists governments implementing population programmes. Central to the U.N. population and development efforts is improving the status of women. However, many member states of the United Nations support the freedom of choice concerning family planning.
[Introduction to the Second Latin American Seminar on the Migrant Woman] Introduccion al Segundo Seminario Latinoamericano sobre la Mujer Migrante.
Goldschmidt I
In: La Mujer Migrante, Segundo Seminario Latinoamericano, organizado por la Oficina Regional del Servicio Social Internacional y la Oficina Argentina de S.S.I., Buenos Aires, 9-12 de Septiembre de 1.985. Caracas, Venezuela, Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales, 1986. 7-12.
Social Service International (SSI) is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization which aids individuals who require assistance because of voluntary or forced expatriation or who require help for other social problems of an international character. Each national office is completely autonomous in its country and can adapt its programs to local needs. The General Secretariat in Geneva strives to assure that high quality services are maintained in each country. SSI has 17 national offices as well as volunteer correspondents in over 100 countries. SSI assists an average of 150,000 refugees and migrants in over 160 countries each year. In recent years Latin America has seen a massive increase in international migration because of political and economic problems. The consequences for families have been disastrous, but no adequate infrastructure has yet been developed to assist migrants and their families or to take preventive measures. Programs for training specialized personnel such as social workers and psychologists are also lacking. Private social agencies to aid recently arrived migrants have existed for many years in countries with histories of significant immigration, but they have tended to be limited to persons of a single nationality or religion and to have few specialized professional workers. SSI's 2nd major objective is to study the conditions and consequences of migration for individuals and families. Latin American women live in patriarchal societies whose norms still marginalize them or limit their participation. Women who migrate face discrimination in employment and education in addition to their other problems. The conclusions and recommendations of the seminar on migrant women are intended to improve understanding of the situation of such women at the regional and local level and to alert governmental and nongovernmental international organizations of the need for programs to improve the circumstances of migrant women.

The aim of this report is to summarize the results of the International Conference on Population, held in Mexico City in August 1984, and to review the findings of working groups and regional meetings held in preparation for the conference. Chapters are included on developments in the decade since the 1974 World Population Conference, world population trends, fertility and the family, population distribution and migration, mortality and morbidity, population and the environment, results of five regional U.N. conferences, the proceedings and results of the Mexico City conference, and activities involving Belgium.
Demographic change in Europe and its health and social implications: an overview.
Lopez AD
In: Demographic trends in the European region: health and social implications, edited by Alan D. Lopez and Robert L. Cliquet. Copenhagen, World Health Organization, Regional Office for Europe, 1984. 5-67. (WHO Regional Publications, European Series No. 17; Project RMI/79/P05)
This chapter presents an overview of recent demographic trends in Europe and discusses the implications of these trends for health and social services. The discussion is based on reports received from 15 of the 33 Member States of the European Region of the World Health Organization. The components of demographic change analyzed included population growth and structure, family formation, fertility, mortality, and population movement. Increases in the number and proportion of the elderly were noted and the traditional excess of births over deaths is expected to change in future years. Population aging is expected to continue to be a principal concern for the social services sector. The increasing emphasis on caring for rather than attempting to cure chronic illnesses among the aged suggests a need for more nursing homes and home-help services. Anticipation of future morbidity and mortality patterns implies a need to focus on specific risk groups, e.g. migrants, adult males, and those from lower socioeconomic groupings. With regard to fertility, adolescent sexual activity and the low use levels of contraception among teenagers comprise areas where greater service provision is necessary. In addition, there is a need for more vocational training for women, improved child care facilities, and full-time employment opportunities better suited to the needs of workers with dependent children. As a result of smaller families, increased divorce rates, the discrepancy between male and female survival, and greater regional mobility, markedly higher numbers of single individuals can be expected. Rapidly evolving changes in family formation, social norms, and underlying demographic trends will continue to alter European societies in the years ahead. The interrelationships between health and demographic phenomenon must continue to be probed to form a basis for future health and social planning.
Population, resources, environment and development.
New York, New York, United Nations, 1984. ix, 534 p. (International Conference on Population, 1984; Statements ST/ESA/SER.A/90)
Contained in this volume are the report (Part I) and the selected papers (Part II) of the Expert Group on Population, Resources, Environment and Development which review past trends and their likely future course in each of the 4 areas, taking into account not only evolving concepts but also the need to consider population, resources, environment and development as a unified structure. Trends noted in the population factor include world population growth and the differences between rates in the developed and developing countries; the decline in the proportion of the population who are very young and the concomitant increase in the average age of the population. Discussed within the resource factor are the labor force, the problem of increasing capital shortage, expenditures on armaments, trends in the supply and productivity of arable land, erosion and degradation of topsoil and energy sources. Many of the problems identified overlap with the environment factor, which centers on the problem of pollution. The group on the development factor was influenced by a pervasiv sense of "crisis" in current economic trends. Concern was also expressed regarding the qualitative aspects of current development trends, defined as the perverse effects of having adopted inappropriate styles of development. Part II begins with a general overview of recent levels and trends in the 4 areas along with the concepts of carrying capacity and optimum population. Other papers discuss the impact of trends in resources, environment and development on demographic prospects; long-term effects of global population growth on the international system; economic considerations in the choice of alternative paths to a stationary population and the need for integration of demographic factors in development planning. The various papers on the resources and environment factor focus on resources as a barrier to population growth; the effects of population growth on renewable resources; food production and population growth in Africa; the frailty of the balance between the 4 areas and the need for a holistic approach on a scale useful for regional planning. Also addressed are: social development; population and international economic relations; development, lifestyles, population and environment in Latin America; issues of population growth, inequality and poverty; health, population and development trends; education requirements and trends in female literacy; the challenge posed by the aging of populations; and population and development in the ECE region.
Migrants and planned parenthood.
International Planned Parenthood Federation [IPPF]. Europe Region
London, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Europe Region, 1984 Jun. 122 p.
Reflections, speculations, and partial evaluations of work already undertaken in the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) Europe Region concerning migrants and planned parenthood are presented. This project, initiated by the Federal Republic of Germany Planned Parenthood Association (PPA), PRO FAMILIA, stemmed from the practical experiences and problems of 1 family planning association in the Europe region. The original substantive framework, consisting of data collection and correspondence, plenary meetings, and subworking group meetings on specific areas of interest, was not altered. Throughout the project, as the work was accomplished, the emphasis shifted to different aspects to migrant work. The 1st questionnaire was intended to provide a sociodemographic profile of the participating countries, a show European migratory movements, and ascertain the ethnicity of the target groups in the different countries. The 2nd questionnaire was related specifically to PPA and/or other family planning center's data and activities and attempted to explore PPA attitudes toward migrant clients, when special facilities for migrants were provided, and whether PPAs felt there was a particular need for such services. The report provides a sociodemographic background of migration in Europe. In addition it includes information from donor countries and recipient countries, examining family planning services in the Federal Republic of Germany and the UK. It also covers training; information, education, and communication; adolescence and 2nd generation migrants; and migrant work. It is necessary to be particularly aware of political sensitivities in treating immigrant fertility regulation. Ideally, the aim is to provide an integrated service for migrants and natives both, catering to individual needs. Until this is feasible, the goal must be to work toward an integrated service, recognizing the needs and providing special services where possible if this is judged tobe the best approach to catering to those needs. Migrant needs must be discovered rather than assumed. Better use should be made of the available printed material, which should be utilized to complement oral information where possible. Experience has shown that family planning personnel working with migrants need additional training. The main components of this training should include self-awareness, insight, and knowledge.

Population trends and issues, statement made at the Meeting of the Netherlands Association of Demographers, The Hague, Netherlands, 14 September, 1983.
New York, N.Y., UNFPA, [1983]. 7 p. (Speech Series No. 97)
If world population is to stabilize by the end of the next century, it will be necessary to strengthen and sustain the downward trend in fertility already begun in most developing countries. Whatever reductions have been achieved in the rate of population growth are the result of fertility declines accompanied by moderate reduction in mortality. Added to the challenge of high birth, mortality and growth rates in some parts of the developing world, a number of issues of equal importance have emerged since the United Nations World Population Conference held in Bucharest in 1974. There are, for example, issues relating to aging, international and local migration, including urbanization, and the interrelationships between population, resources, the environment and development. Most of these problems have national as well as international dimensions. The Government of the Netherlands has taken important steps to alleviate some of these problems. For example, it considers that social and economic policy should constantly take in requirements resulting from changes in the age structure of the population. The Government has been a major donor to the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) since its inception and has contributed nearly US$105 million in 14 years.
Measles: summary of worldwide impact.
Assaad F
REVIEWS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES. 1983 May-Jun; 5(3):452-9.
This summary of the worldwide impact of measles discusses epidemiology, reported incidence, clinical severity, community attitudes toward measles, and the impact of immunization programs on measles. Measles, 1 of the most ubiquitous and persistent of human viruses, occurs regularly everywhere in the world except in very remote and isolated areas. Strains of measles virus from different counties are indistinguishable, and serum antibodies from diverse population have identical specificity. Yet, the epidemic pattern, average age at infection, and mortality vary considerably from 1 area to another and provide a contrasting picture between the developing and the developed countries. In the populous areas of the world, measles causes epidemics every 2-5 years, but in the rapidly expanding urban conglomerations in the developing world, the continuous immigration from the rural population provides a constant influx of susceptible individuals and, in turn, a sustained occurrence of measles and unclear epidemic curves. In the economically advanced nations, measles epidemics are closely tied to the school year, building up to a peak in the late spring and ceasing abruptly after the summer recess begins. Maternal antibody usually confers protection against measles to infants during the 1st few months of life. The total number of cases of measles reported to WHO for 1980 is 2.9 million. Considering that in the developing world alone almost 100 million infants are born yearly, that less than 20% of them are immunized against measles, and that various studies indicate that almost all nonimmunized children get measles, less than 3 million cases of measles in 1980 is a gross underestimate. There was adecrease in the global number of reported cases of measles during the 1979-80 period due primarily to the reduction in the number of cases in the African continent and, to a lesser extent, in Europe. It is premature to conclude that such a reported decline is real and that it reflects the beginning of a longterm trend. The contrast between the developed and the developing worlds is most marked in relation to the severity and outcome of measles. Case fatality rates of more than 20% have been reported from West Africa. It has been estimated that 900,000 deaths occur yearly in the developing world because of measles, but data available to WHO indicate that the global case fatality rate in the developing world approaches 2% (in contrast to 2/10,000 cases in the US), and the actal mortality may be greater than 1.5 million deaths per year. The advent of WHO's Expanded Program on Immunization has brought about an awareness of the measles problem. Whenever and wherever measles vaccine has been used effectively on a large scale, a marked reduction in the number of cases has been recorded.

Ticket prices for Disneyland and the Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California, are going up.
Disney announced that prices will increase from $80 to $87 for a one day pass to either park for guests 10 and over. Premium annual passes, which include parking, will go up from $499 to $649. The new prices went into affect today.
Glover also notes that the parks will be opening at 8am each day during the summer, and the entertainment schedule is being ramped up with more shows.
The price increase will not affect annual passholders that purchased their pass using the payment plan option prior to today. Also, tickets purchased prior to today, but not yet activated, will remain at the previous cost – guests will not have to pay the difference, according to Glover. She also said the 6-Day Park Hopper pass will no longer be available.
The price increase only affects the parks in California. Disney World in Orlando, Florida, is not affected by this increase.

Family-friendly Pinokl Games shocks with Party Hard, an upcoming "mass murder" simulator
Filed inside: Games
Indie developers have made a lot of waves in the modern age, by pushing the envelope and bringing us new and innovative gameplay elements. Horror, dystopia, and violence have become commonplace in the Indie scene, including series like They Bleed Pixels, Hotline Miami, and Insanity's Blade, but each of these games walked a fine line, promoting the bloodshed as a means to solving a crisis, or as a means to eliminate individuals with truly warped morals. Pinokl Games has now jumped atop this particular genre, and is hoping to make a splash with their upcoming release, Party Hard. However, unlike most titles, developers are bringing an experience that is truly benevolent in nature, not against those who do wrongs, but against innocents.
The premise of Party Hard is to exact bloody revenge on your neighbors. You'll take over the role of an individual who is fed up by their neighbors behavior, and plans to take take matters into their own hands, rather than filing a complaint. To say that the solution is extreme, is taking it lightly. The "protagonist" (if you can call them that) plans to sneak into the party and eliminate their neighbors via a sharp knife. The main goal is to not get caught as you carry out your sinister deeds, making sure you pay attention to guests as they make their way throughout the large home. The top-down view will give you an almost-complete view of the level, allowing you to carefully plan out your attacks and utilize opportune moments to strike. You'll have to use your wits and skills to traverse the populated house party unseen, making this game a mixture of stealth and strategy.
Pinokl Games notes that each of the levels will be semi-procedural, meaning they will randomly generate for each session you play. The house you infiltrate will consist of a mass of different rooms, each with their own size and layout. Much of the title will be spent watching guests move from area to area, and attacking your target when they are alone in a particular room. Some rooms receive a lot more traffic than others, so it will be important for you to decide which area has the greatest chance of success. You'll also need to have an exit strategy planned, so you can high-tail it from the scene of the crime once all your targets are eliminated. If an NPC happens to walk in during the actual murder, or discovers a dead body, they will immediately run to a nearby phone and contact the police. This adds a layer of difficulty to the release, requiring you to not only be surgical in your execution, but also forcing you to move at a brisk pace.
Pinokl Games is no stranger to the industry, but a "mass murder" simulator is located polar opposite from the family friendly titles they normally release. It's somewhat startling to see such a "innocent" developer create in such a dark medium, but Party Hard isn't the only murderous title to randomly pop on scene lately. Hatred, another mass-murder simulator from Polish developer Destructive Creations, has received much hype and scrutiny lately after it received a powerful Adults Only rating. This particular rating hasn't been used much in the past, and most games that receive the dreaded stigma usually tone down their titles to a Mature rating before they release. Adults Only causes a severe restriction on the developer, limiting the platforms which the game may be released, and narrowing down the age group dramatically. It is important to note that while Hatred has a very disturbing theme, in which you simply play as a dark individual bent on genocide, the game doesn't appear to be as gorey or bloody as some Mature release. The difference between Party Hard and Hatred are very apparent too, as Party Hard has an incredibly bright and vibrant (almost comical) feel compared to Hatred's dark and foreboding environments.
Party Hard is due to hit iOS, PC, and Android this Summer, with console versions to subsequently follow. It will be interesting to see if the murderous mayhem will receive the dread AO rating, or if it's simply too farcical to warrant anything over an M rating. After all, the title does look a lot like the Hotline Miami series in terms of visuals, and that particular set of games was slapped with an M sticker. Still, the prospect of killing "innocents" may bother the ESRB and other ratings associations. If you want more info on Party Hard, be sure to check out Pinokl Games' official website here.

Sentinel Square Office Complex
Cardno is the structural engineer for all three phases of Sentinel Square, a 1.5 million sf high security office complex located in the NoMa District of Washington, D.C.
Sentinel Square, a 1.5 million sf office complex, located in the NoMa District of Washington, D.C. appeals to federal and local government agency tenants due to its high-security features, environmental friendliness, modern and efficient work spaces and affordability.
Cardno, the structural engineer of record for all three phases of Sentinel Square, has extensive experience in designing these types of office buildings in the Washington, D.C. area.
Phase I is a 12-story, 440,000-sf office building above three levels, 118,000 sf of below-grade parking (317 spaces) located at 90 K Street, NE. Phase I, a cast-in-place concrete structure certified as LEED Gold, is designed to meet Level IV Security Protocols in accordance with GSA's ISC Design Criteria - including 30-foot stand-off distances, progressive collapse avoidance, hardened structure and facade, blast resistant glass, distinct garage structures, expendable entry ways and a separate vertical transport from garage to security check-point.
Phase II is a 12-story, 304,000-sf office building above four levels of below-grade parking,108,000 sf (220 spaces) located at 1050 First Street, NE and is certified as LEED Silver. Phase III is a 12-story, 517,500-sf office building above three levels of below-grade parking, 161,500 sf (320 spaces) located at 45 L Street, NE.

Many thanks to teachers Mandy Robek and Cathy Mere for creating the August Picture Book 10 for 10 event! Click on their names above to visit their blogs where you'll find links to more Top 10 picture book lists from bloggers around the kidlitosphere.
My list has more than 10 titles, because I've included several series–same authors with (usually) the same illustrators and the same lovable cast of characters.
As a school librarian in a culturally and linguistically diverse school district, I'm always looking for books that highlight different cultures and life experiences for my students. Books introduce kids to everything from Cinco de Mayo to Ramadan to the life experiences of an undocumented immigrant child in the U.S. But my students also want stories about fairies and friends, monsters and space travel.
Say "HEY!" to your neighbors and get your dance on! Jazzy rhythms, silly rhymes, and welcoming images are guaranteed to entice little readers.
Robert Kinerk pokes fun at what can happen when good manners are neglected. From Eleanor Ickity who is served nothing that she likes to eat or Sylvester who can pester and pester and pester, this charming cast of characters will warn the ill mannered about the consequences of their shameful behavior.
All the world is here.It is there.It is everywhere.All the world is right where you are.Now.Following a circle of family and friends through the course of a day from morning till night, this book affirms the importance of all things great and small in our world, from the tiniest shell on the beach, to warm family connections, to the widest sunset sky.
Art is so much more than easels and paintbrushes as this delightful new picture book by two exciting talents makes clear. Follow along as a classroom of exuberant young kids explore art and the power of creativity in its most varied forms-painting, music, writing, cooking, performing … there's no end to where their imaginations can take them! The lilting poetry of Liz Garton Scanlon's text pairs perfectly with the playful art of Vanessa Newton in this warm, thoughtful, and-of course-creative picture book. Young listeners will want to jump right into the pages to find their own muse.
What if you could have a star?From acclaimed author Mary Lyn Ray and two-time Caldecott Honor winner Marla Frazee comes this tender, evocative—and profound—exploration of stars both near and far.
When a class leaves for recess, their just-baked Gingerbread Man is left behind. But he's a smart cookie and heads out to find them. He'll run, slide, skip, and (after a mishap with a soccer ball) limp as fast as he can because: "I can catch them! I'm their Gingerbread Man!"With help from the gym teacher, the nurse, the art teacher and even the principal, the Gingerbread Man does find his class, and he's assured they'll never leave him behind again.
Guess who gets to go along on a field trip to the firehouse? The Gingerbread Man! But when he falls out of his classmate's pocket, Spot the Dalmatian comes sniffing around. Luckily, this Gingerbread Man is one smart cookie, and he races into the fire truck, up the pole, and all through the station, staying one step ahead of the hungry dog the whole time.
With snappy rhymes and fresh illustrations, the Gingerbread Man makes a sweet return in his second school adventure.
Could a tulip be a good place for hide-and-seek? Could a bit of dandelion fluff be a pillow? They could be, if fairies live nearby. This book invites kids to have a backyard adventure searching for the telltale signs of fairies who might be residing all around them. Not only can children "search" for fairies in the book's unique blend of art and photography, but they will also be encouraged to discover the wonder and magic in nature, whether in a backyard or a local park.
Have you ever walked on the beach and looked for shells or clams? There are creatures, more like you and me, who are even more interesting to look for. Most people don't see them, but they might just not know how to look for signs. That sand dollar – why, that could be a mermaid-size surfboard. Those twisted reeds – a bed for a lovely afternoon mermaid nap. And if you peer closely into the water, you might see a mermaid market.
A hilarious look at first-day-of-school jitters from author Audrey Vernick and illustrator Daniel Jennewein.
How do bees count? The bees at the Busy Bee Farm buzz through the sky as one big swarm, fly over two waving dandelions, find three wild strawberries bursting with sweetness . . . As the children in Mr. Tate's class listen, they learn how bees work to produce honey and make food and flowers grow. Bees count–they're important to us all.
If you listen carefully to the lone tree behind Oak Lane School, it has a story to tell about… one owl, two spiders, three squirrels, four robins, five caterpillars, six ants, seven crickets, eight flies, nine ladybugs, and ten earthworms, all living safe and free in their tree home.
What does this tree need? The children know — it needs friends!
Mr. Tate's class helps clean up a local beach and listens to the sea as it tells them about all the wildlife that make it their home. One whale, two giant sea turtles, three marlins . . . and more. Of course, the class discovers that "this sea counts!" These Seas Count! explores the environmental impact and importance of the seas, and how crucial it is to keep them healthy.
Alison Formento's gentle story and Sarah Snow's amazing collages combine for a powerful message about the environment and what we can do to preserve our oceans.
Want to blast into orbit? Walk on the moon? Snag a personal photo of a shooting star? Well your time is coming! And when it does, you're going to need How Do You Burp in Space?
This guide is filled with the kind of information you'd need to plan any vacation including what to pack (hint: no bubble bath or juggling balls!); what to expect from your accomodations (a sleeping bag attached to the wall), and what to do for fun (leapfrog on the moon!). Grounded in the history of space travel and the planned future of space tourism, this guide book will leave young adventurers daydreaming about future intergalactic space vacations. Get ready to rock your rocketship!
Today Biblio Links welcomes back one of my favorite authors, Audrey Vernick!
As kids head back to school, I thought this would be the perfect time to introduce (or reintroduce) readers to the charming picture book Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten?
In tongue-in-cheek style, Vernick advises buffalo owners everywhere how to prepare their buffalos for that all-important first day of Kindergarten. My own kids and students laugh out loud at the buffalo's antics, but the true message of acceptance shines through. Although diversity is never mentioned in the text, Daniel Jennewein's illustrations of the students in the buffalo's classroom reflects a variety of ethic backgrounds.
My son gave this book to his Kindergarten teacher last year when we met her for the first time at Open House in August, and I think it would make the perfect gift for the newly-minted Kindergartener in your family or neighborhood.
I asked Audrey about ways in which readers connect with Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten?
Biblio Links: A student walks into my library and I think: That kid needs a copy of Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? Who is this kid?Audrey Vernick: The year this book was published, I heard from a kindergarten teacher who had a student who was having a very hard time at the start of the year. Inexplicably, the only way he could get through those first few days was if the teacher let him hold my book. That touched my heart–the kind of response you can't even conceive of when writing a book. So I guess you could say the child who needs a copy of Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? might be one who, at the start of the year, has not yet found her way. Of course, it might also be a child who likes a silly book. Or one who wonders, as I did, what chewing cud really means.
Audrey Vernick: This is another one of those things that I never came close to envisioning during the writing/editing process–but this book really lends itself to classroom use. You might see anything from hoof painting to hula hoop Venn diagrams to cave drawings to the creation of a class guide just in case a buffalo happens to show up one day. Or, you might hear a whole classroom, as one, moaning "Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" when you reach the page that describes what cud chewing is.
Audrey Vernick: Cover your ears, Natalie. There's an incredible, brilliant, superfun discussion and activity guide for using IS YOUR BUFFALO READY FOR KINDERGARTEN? on my website created by the divine Natalie Lorenzi. (http://audreyvernick.com/BUFFALO_KINDERGARTEN_curriculum_guide.pdf).
And this page has a bio and a link to recent interviews: http://audreyvernick.com/Bio.html.
My website also has information about my school visits, other books, reviews, and there's a page (with link to a free downloadable buffalo door hanger coloring sheet) for this book's sequel, TEACH YOUR BUFFALO TO PLAY DRUMS.
Biblio Links: I'll also add the Buffalo's Facebook page here. Thanks for stopping by, Audrey!
Check out Audrey's middle grade novel, Water Balloon, and her other picture books, Bark and Tim, Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? and Teach Your Buffalo To Play The Drums, and picture book biographies She Loved Baseball: The Effa Manley Story and Brothers At Bat.
Click here for some buffalo love, including a starred review from Publisher's Weekly.
I'd love to hear from other teachers and librarians, parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles…what book(s) do you recommend to ease first day of school jitters?
Thanks to the fabulous bloggers at Teach Mentor Texts for today's meme!

Q: Should I force "composition over inheritance" rule to class members? As I know, according to "composition over inheritance" rule, we should avoid reusing a method by inheritance, but how about class members? Suppose I have parent and child classes like the following:
public class Animal{
    protected String name;
    protected int _id;
    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }
    public int getId(){
        return _id;
    }
}

public class Cat extends Animal{
}

public class Dog extends Animal{
}

and I found I am reusing "name" and "_id" field by inheritance. Should I put all attributes into a separate class and let a child class uses it by composition like this:
public class AnimalData{
    public String name;
    public int _id;
}

public interface Animal{
    public AnimalData getAnimalData();
}

public class Cat implements Animal{
    public AnimalData animalData;
    public AnimalData getAnimalData(){
        return animalData;
    }
}

public class Dog implements Animal{
    public AnimalData animalData;
    public AnimalData getAnimalData(){
        return animalData;
    }
}

in order to obey "composition over inheritance" rule?

A: There is nothing wrong with inheritance, and in in your case it is clearly the simplest solution. The second solution introduces complexity for no benefit. "Composition over inheritance" is just a rule-of-thumb to avoid over-reliance in inheritance - it does not say you shouldn't use inheritance when it is appropriate.
Furthermore, you are not even reducing the amount of inheritance in the second example. The question is if you need the subclasses "Cat" and "Dog" at all. It is easier to see if you use a more real world example. Say you have a Button. You realize than some instances of Button will have a popup-help, and some will not. Should you create a subclass ButtonWithPopupHelp which adds the popup-related functionality, or should you rather create a separate class PopupHelp, which contains the popup-specific functionality, and which can be attached to the button and perhaps other controls? If possible, the second options is preferable.
