During his first year at Texas State University Dr. Martin was in a serious head on car accident that led him to seek the help of a chiropractor. While being rehabilitated for his injuries, Dr. Martin became impressed with the results he obtained through chiropractic care. Dr. Martin eventually decided he wanted to become a chiropractor. He attended Texas Chiropractic College for a year before transferring to Life University in Marietta, Georgia because he personally believed their vast chiropractic techniques and philosophies were more suited to the future of chiropractic care. After graduation Dr. Martin worked in Georgia and San Antonio before opening a practice in the Clear Lake area. Dr. Martin is glad to be back in Texas serving the community of Galveston.


After years of flying, I've come up with some great ways to be comfortable during a long flight. The goal is to get enough sleep to last through the rest of the day when you reach your destination, that way you can sleep through the night and get onto new time zone as fast as possible. If you're arriving at a destination in the evening, try and stay awake enough hours on the plane so you can sleep through the night when you get there. Below are some things to remember to bring to make your flight more enjoyable.
This is a #1 for me. If you want to listen to a podcast, watch in-flight entertainment, or listen to music you'll want to have a pair handy. The ones they pass out on the plane are never great quality. Sidenote: If you have a new iPhone don't forget a converter for your headphones to connect to in-flight entertainment.
Hopefully you're flight has in-flight entertainment, but it never hurts to have some backups. I once had a faulty video system on a long flight and didn't have anything to fall back on. You can download episodes or movies from Amazon, Netflix and more. When you hit download it syncs to your phone and will be available offline. Do this at home while you have a fast wifi connection. The same goes for podcasts. There are all types of podcasts available, like news, unsolved crimes, love, invention, and history. You can also sync music from apps like Spotify, Amazon Music, or iTunes. Last, you can download books from audible to listen while you relax.
Bring a neck pillow to keeps your head upright. I recommend one with a snap in front so you don't continuously wake up when your head falls forward.
When someone leaves their window open, or if you're tired on a day flight, you can block out the light by putting on a comfy eye mask. Bring ear plugs to block out engine noise or the occasional screaming baby or toddler.
It's a long flight, and your feet swell at elevation, so get comfortable and take off those shoes. It's best to wear shoes with socks so your feet will stay nice and warm.
Use the coupon code: happytote to receive a gift with your purchase.
You can bring things like Simply Sleep and other sleep aids, but I recommend the more natural sleep remedy, melatonin. Take it about 30min to an hour before you want to snooze.
Airplanes are so dry. Stay feeling fresh and moisturized with eye drops, lip balm, a facial mist, and eye cream. This way you won't show up to your destination looking and feeling like death.
If you know of any more great tips and tricks for flying, please leave them in the comments below!
Plotting out the destinations you want to go to ahead of time helps you orient yourself ahead of your time and plan more efficiently based on how close things are to each other. I'm going to use my most recent Mexico City trip as an example for how to go about this process.
After years of flying, I've discovered new ways to make your flight more enjoyable.
Raden has added a built in charging station to their luggage, which is the best feature by far, and really what makes it stand apart.

2/22/2020 2020 Mardi Gras! on Galveston Island
The Galveston Mardi Gras event on The Strand, Mechanic and Tremont Streets is the third largest Mardi Gras celebration in the Unitied States during carnival season. The theme this year was Back to the Awesome 80's. The DeLorean Club of Texas was invited by, and joined ZKrewe and their Royal Court. Thanks for the invite! And thanks everyone, for attending.
Photos by Rob Keslar (click images to enlarge). Before any parade attended by the Houston DeLoreans, there is the traditional staging area for setup/lineup before the parade. Lineup started at 10:00am at Santa Fe Place, next to the Galveston Railroad Museum, for a 12 noon parade start.
Hmmm, is that a railroad track those DeLoreans are parked on? (They must be trying out for a part in the remake of BttF III).
The parade route goes down 25th Street to Mechanic, to 20th, then on to The Strand, until arriving back to 25th.
That's the The Parrot Heads, a Ghost Busters Club following the DeLoreans. But where is Ecto-1?
The DeLorans and ZKrewe joined ROTC Flag Units, High School Marching Bands, and other Mardi Gras Krewes throwing beads and celebrating the frivolity of Mardi Gras Galveston.
The year 2020 brought very few DeLorean events occurring or attended by the club, due to the COVID-19 virus that hit the United States primarily in the spring. When DeLorean events did happen, social distancing and other guidelines were observed. We look forward to more events occurring in 2021 as the virus hopefully subsides.

Grow Your Own Awesome Architecture with Living Trees
Once a far-fetched futuristic idea, a building made of living trees is now not only possible but is also a reality – amazing living architecture that uses growing trees as their structural supports, twisted, shaped and connected as they make their way skyward.
These so-called Baubotanic (Botany Buildings) by students from the University of Stuttgart use trees that meet a series of critical criteria, from fast growth rates to flexibility, adaptability and durability. The core structures are augmented with artificial elements and can be used to support everything from rooms and platforms to towers and walkways.
More details via Spiegel:
"This is probably the biggest project to date within an innovative branch of architecture — no pun intended. Ludwig and fellow architects, Oliver Storz and Hannes Schwertfeger, call their new specialty 'building botany.' As part of this the three men are building structures made from plants as well as studying the elasticity of plane trees and examining how effectively willows can grow around steel pipes at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Basics in Modern Architectural Design."
"In our opinion trees are high-tech material, which is why plant growth is part of our vision," says Schwertfeger. "We start them off but the tree itself continues the building process," Ludwig adds. "In architectural terms it's very risky — but it's a positive risk."
Unlike conventional construction, there are many unique challenges that come with custom tree building techniques. Connections must be checked and added by hand as growth progresses, variations in strength have to be accounted for and stability is paramount – these are just some the flip-sides of using living and growing materials.
While there are limitations to this kind of construction, tree buildings have a great deal of potential for do-it-yourself types who enjoy having a hand in the creation of their own alternative-style abode.


For modern coffee lovers, it's not just about that early morning kick of caffeine. Issues such as fair trade, environmental responsibility and sustainability are just as important to the coffee connoisseur as the taste itself. And this is no less the case when it comes to coffee-to-go. Cups and mugs for everyday use are the perfect answer. We discovered at Ambiente a diverse array of products for every requirement, taste and look.
With the incredible success of coffee-to-go chains, coffee has experienced an impressive revival over the past twenty years. Customers are now well versed in the relative merits of Arabica and Robusta. They have their favourite beans and mixes and display strong preferences for or against fully automatic machines and sieves. Even filter coffee, which up until recently was seen as a relic of a bygone age, is enjoying increasing popularity. But is it possible to enjoy a cultured cup of coffee when standing, walking or driving? We certainly think so! Even if in this digital age of uncompromising flexibility and 24/7 availability it's not always possible to find time to sit down in a café, people still want to have their foaming latte macchiato, fiery espresso or creamy cappuccino while on the move. The coffee-to-go cup has now become as essential an accessory as the notebook, tablet or smartphone for today's city dwellers – from Amsterdam to New York.
The new coffee culture essentially represents a return to the virtues of a natural product and to social traditions. It was therefore only a question of time before the coffee-to-go trend addressed the issue of sustainability. There is now a move away from throw-away paper cups to high-quality containers that preserve the wonderful aroma of this valuable 'black gold' over several hours – and in an environmentally sustainable way. They can be filled at your favourite café or at home with any sort of coffee, whether small, strong, black, milky, decaf, lactose-free, with soya milk or aromatised. As we found out at Ambiente, the coffee-to-go mug made from high-quality materials – e.g. glass, porcelain or plastic – that keep the freshly brewed pick-me-up hot or cold is more than just a practical companion. It has now become a lifestyle accessory like the personalised timer or ballpoint. There are almost no limits to personal preferences. These stylish mugs can be plain, decorated with your favourite colours or motifs, or personalised. As with the coffee itself, it's all a matter of taste!
In 'The Devil Wears Prada' Anne Hathaway spends much of the film fetching coffee-to-go for boss Meryl Streep. These days, coffee-to-go cups and mugs feature in almost every production to come out of Hollywood. But film mirrors reality – and even on celluloid there is now a move towards sustainable solutions. In TV series, sitcoms and cinema blockbusters the hero is often seen leaving the house with a portable beverage container, getting into the car, placing the mug in the specially provided holder and starting the day with a reviving shot of caffeine. It seems that no production is complete without a scene showing the morning coffee-to-go being poured. And, as with every trend, there are personal preferences when it comes to these beverage containers. Whatever your inclination – with straw or drinking slit / made from earthenware, porcelain, plastic or aluminium – there is a perfect companion for every requirement and taste. In addition to the flavour of coffee, there are of course preferences in terms of the look of coffee-to-go containers. There's something for everyone – from light, sporty mugs made from modern recycled plastic to high-quality glass products. Coffee-to-go solutions were presented at Ambiente for every lifestyle – and are equally at home in the casual, laid-back rucksack or the designer handbag.

Gary Antonian Sheffield (né le  à Tampa, Floride, États-Unis) est un joueur de baseball qui évolue dans les Ligues majeures de 1988 à 2009, principalement comme joueur de champ extérieur, mais aussi comme joueur de troisième but et frappeur désigné. Il s'aligne avec 8 équipes en 22 saisons.

Sheffield frappe 509 circuits en carrière, ce qui le place après la saison 2014 au  de l'histoire du baseball majeur. Invité 9 fois au match des étoiles, il remporte 5 Bâtons d'argent (le premier comme meilleur joueur de troisième but offensif et les autres comme voltigeur), gagne le championnat des frappeurs de la Ligue nationale en 1992, mène cette ligue pour la moyenne de présence sur les buts en 1996 et remporte la Série mondiale 1997 avec les Marlins de la Floride.

Biographie

Ses 42 circuits en 1996 sont un record de la jeune franchise des Marlins de la Floride qui n'est battu qu'en 2017 par Giancarlo Stanton.

Gary Sheffield a été transféré des Yankees de New York pendant l'inter-saison 2006-2007 en échange de trois lanceurs de ligues mineures (Humberto Sanchez, Kevin Whelan, Anthony Claggett). Les Tigers ont prolongé son contrat de trois années supplémentaires peu de temps après le transfert.

Il est en 2015 éligible pour la première fois à l'élection au Temple de la renommée du baseball mais ne récolte que 11,7 % des voix exprimées par les membres de l'Association des chroniqueurs de baseball d'Amérique, alors qu'un minimum de 75 pour cent d'appuis est nécessaire pour être élu. En 2016, il récolte 11,6 pour cent d'appuis et, s'il se maintient au minimum à 5 pour cent, peut être candidat jusqu'en 2024. En 2017, il récolte 13,3 pour cent des votes.

Faits marquants
 9 participations au match des étoiles de la Ligue majeure de baseball (1992-93, 1996, 1998-2000, 2003-05)
 Premier joueur à participer au match des étoiles sous cinq maillots différents
 5 trophées Silver Slugger de meilleur frappeur (1992, 1996, 2003, 2004, 2005)
 Meilleure moyenne au bâton de la Ligue nationale (,330) et meilleur total de buts (323) en 1992
 Meilleur moyenne de présence sur les buts de Ligue nationale (,465) en 1996
 Remporte la Série mondiale avec les Marlins de Floride en 1997

Gary Sheffield est connu pour sa vitesse de frappe, l'une des plus rapides en Ligue majeure.

Au printemps 2003, à la suite des investigations de l'affaire Balco, son nom apparaît dans une liste de clients du laboratoire fournissant stéroïdes et hormones de croissance à certains sportifs.

LITTLE CULINARY TRIUMPHS
Pascale Pujol & Alison Anderson (Translator)
Set in the storied Parisian quarter of Montmarte, this heartwarming, comic tale is a must for foodies, Francophiles, and lovers of a good story well told.
Made famous by artists, writers, and bon vivants of every ilk, Montmartre has been the stomping ground for bohemian celebrities through the ages and a neighborhood synonymous with transgression and innovation. Today, it is a bustling multiethnic neighborhood where cultures, cuisines, the past and the future of Europe cohabitate and collide. Here in this vibrant community, in Pujol's charming English-language debut, a cast of endearing characters fall into increasingly comic situations as they seek to follow their often-outrageous dreams.
Sandrine works as a functionary in an employment office, but there is a lot more to her than one might suspect from her job description. With a volcanic personality and an imagination to match it, she is also a world-class cook who is waiting for the right occasion to realize her dream of opening a restaurant of her own.
With a master plan that one could only describe as Machiavellian, Sandrine ropes Antoine, an unemployed professor looking for a fresh start, into her venture. A carousel of extravagant characters follows: the giant Senegalese man, Toussaint N'Diaye; the magical chef, Vairam; the extravagantly flatulent Alsatian, Schmutz and his twelve-year-old daughter Juliette—IQ 172!; the alluring psychologist and Kama Sutra specialist, Annabelle Villemin-Dubreuil.
Plans for the restaurant proceed smoothly until Sandrine discovers a shady newspaper operation next-door that leads her to a sinister magnate manipulating the Parisian news outlets.

Smoker Design and Grill Racks: Electric smokers may be horizontal or vertical and can come with different types of cooking racks. Some smokers are equipped with stainless steel racks while others come with chrome-plated racks. You should opt for those racks that can retain heat better, as this would give you those nice grill marks on your food.
Addition of Woodchips: Some electric smokers come with woodchip trays where you can add woodchips while cooking. This feature allows you to enjoy that smoky taste on your food that is very distinct with charcoal smokers.
Once you have purchased the best electric smoker for your needs, the next thing that you would want to ensure is how you can get the best out of your electric smoker. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure you are getting your money's worth with your smoker.
Know Your Smoker – It is essential that know your smoker well. The more you learn about what your smoker can do and what it cannot, it will make it easier for you to use it effectively.
Preheat Your Smoker – Preheating your smoker can help increase the lifespan of your unit. When you preheat your unit, it will not take a longer time for the unit to reach the desired temperature when you place your food inside. That said, your smoker will not work harder to cook the food.
Clean Your Smoker Regularly – You should make sure that you clean your smoker on a regular basis. Cleaning the unit will help ensure that your food will come out fresh and without any undesirable odor that may be left behind from the previously cooked food. Also, with regular cleaning, your smoker can operate efficiently and will not develop rust over time.
Be Patient and Careful When Using Your Smoker – Whether you are cleaning or cooking with your smoker, you should always remember to be patient and careful. A well-maintained electric smoker can last longer without breaking down, ensuring that you are getting your money's worth.
Choosing an electric smoker should not be that difficult. Based on the review conducted, the best one in the market is the Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker (20077615). This unit is perfect for both beginners and the seasoned pros in the smoking industry.
Not just that, this unit is effortless to operate and has a large 721 square inch of cooking space, allowing you to cook various food at one time. It also comes with numerous accessories including side woodchip loading system, front access drip tray, and four chrome-coated cooking racks. Its digital display is easy to use and allows you full control over the temperature of the unit.

Q: Android 11 SSL handshake fails when using Charles Proxy Unable to use Charles Proxy with Android devices since the update to 11. I've read the Configure CAs for debugging page and verified that the app I'm testing is set up per their instructions. This isn't a problem with iOS running the same app. It seems to only be an Android issue.
I can access the internet when proxying through Charles on Android which to me means the connection is good but when I go to use the app that's when things start to fail.
I'm mostly wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue? If I can isolate my experience I can hopefully use that rationale to get this issue fixed.

A: From Android 11, or later, there are new configs in order to make Charles Proxy work:

*

*Verify that you install & trust Charles Proxy certificate. You can verify in Settings app -> Security -> Encryption & Credentials -> Trusted Credentials -> User Tab => Make sure Charles Proxy is loaded.

*You're only able to intercept SSL Proxying from your own app, not other apps.

*In your source code, add res/xml/network_security_config.xml
<network-security-config>
    <debug-overrides>
        <trust-anchors>
            <!-- Trust user added CAs while debuggable only -->
            <certificates src="user" />
            <certificates src="system" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </debug-overrides>

    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </base-config>

    <domain-config>
        <!-- Make sure your URL Server here -->
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">your_production_domain</domain>
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="user"/>
            <certificates src="system"/>
        </trust-anchors>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

=> Replace your_production_domain with your working domain.

*Add to AndroidManifest.xml

In a clinical phase-3-study, an international research cooperation of MedUni Vienna and Stanford University has achieved significant success with the drug Baricitinib for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The test persons exhibited significantly fewer symptoms of the disorder. The results are now published in the top scientific journal New England Journal of Medicine.
The worldwide first clinical phase-3-study with the Baricitinib introduced significant success in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Baricitinib is an orally administered inhibitor of Janus kinase 1 and 2. This kinase is an intracellular enzyme which is activated when extra-cellular messenger molecules, e.g. interferons or interleukin-6, are docking onto cells, thus triggering the events leading to the inflammatory response.
The study which was sponsored by Eli Lilly and was led by MedUni Vienna and Stanford University (USA), was conducted over 24 weeks and comprised a total of 527 persons. The test persons were patients who had previously unsuccessfully undergone many conventional treatment therapies, including one or even several biologic agents. The participants were divided into three groups, one with a daily dosage of 2 mg of saracatinib, one with 4 mg and a control group with placebos.
The result showed that the test persons who had received saracatinib exhibited significant improvements in their symptoms. They suffered from less pain and joint swelling and composite measures of disease activity improved extensively. The group with the 4 mg dose showed even better results than those with the 2 mg dose, compared to the placebo group. The adverse event rates were comparable to those known of biological therapies.
The study was developed in cooperation between the company Eli Lilly with MedUni Vienna and the top University of Stanford (USA), as well as other cooperation partners..

From heat domes to rain bombs, climate change is changing how we talk about weather
Crazy weather comes with some weird new vocab words.
Kate Yoder Staff Writer
Let's face it: We actually like talking about the weather. Whether we're languishing in record-breaking heat or bundling up to face a cold snap, we bond over whatever misery the skies throw at us. And the list of meteorological marvels we encounter just keeps on growing.
The relationship between climate and weather is complex, but we do know that our changing climate is causing extreme weather events to crop up more often — and to describe these anomalies, we've coined some new words and dusted off a few obscure phrases. Here's a guide to some of the terms we've been chattering about.
For two weeks, the United States has been engulfed in a "heat dome": a huge, high-pressure system that traps in hot air and roasts whatever's beneath. The media can't quit talking about it, even once the heat dome finally began to let up.
Though NOAA has embraced the term, not all meteorologists are down with the new "dome" terminology. Heat domes have come up before — the term first rose in popularity in 2011, and came back last year when a scorcher hit the Middle East — but this is the first time it's been elevated to a normal topic of conversation.
Rain bombs
The catastrophic flooding in Maryland and West Virginia this year? Those floods were the result of "rain bombs," severe downpours that have battered landscapes in the United States, Europe, and Australia. Rain bombs (also called "wet microbursts") can douse an area with two to four inches of water in less than an hour, causing swift flooding and damage. And to make matters worse, we're pretty sure they're our fault.
Watch one unfold in Tucson, Arizona, in this crazy time-lapse:
Corn sweat
It turns out that planting tons and tons of corn close together can actually boost humidity. The plants suck water out of the ground and spew it into the atmosphere, where the moisture proceeds to hang out and keep us hot, damp, and miserable. Aptly, we call this "corn sweat." In the Midwest this summer, corn sweat has unfolded on a vast scale, amplifying the effects of the infamous heat dome.
The term "polar vortex" isn't new (it dates back to 1853) but few had heard of it before January 2014, when cold air from the North Pole blasted south and invaded North America, turning "polar vortex" into a household word. Researchers have linked anomalies like these to melting Arctic sea ice that can cause wild jet stream behavior.
Thundersnow — which is just what it sounds like — can be intense. Just take a gander at the Weather Channel's Jim Cantore flipping out when he found himself in the middle of one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJt4nV6hM1Y
Snow dampens sound, so you have to be almost right beneath a lightning strike to hear it. Thundersnows are rare, but recently we've seen them everywhere from the Great Lakes to northern Alaska.
Danger days
A "danger day" — when heat and humidity push temperatures above 105 degrees — used to be rare. Only 12 of 144 major U.S. cities experienced more than one danger day per year in 1950, according to Climate Central analysis. But by 2030, 84 of those cities are expected to experience 20 or more danger days per year. Yikes.
Weather words go through fads. It might only take one memorable storm to launch an obscure word from a meteorological journal into the popular lexicon. But the extreme weather terms that have popped up are a signal that something in our atmosphere is changing — and the events they name are snapshots of the ways climate change is turning weather into a weapon against us.

Within their sphere? Women's correspondence to Aberdeen daily newspapers, 1900-1918.
This research provides an insight into the motivations and agenda of women correspondents to Aberdeen local newspapers during the period 1900-18. This was achieved by undertaking a content analysis of all printed letters to the editor identified as being by women correspondents to the Aberdeen Daily Journal and Aberdeen Free Press. Women correspondents were identified by their signatures, feminine noms de plume or the content of their letters. Whilst it is accepted that this method must of necessity have excluded some women correspondents who did not wish to reveal their gender, this research focused exclusively on correspondents who were willing to be identified as female in their correspondence to the newspapers. In this way, it was hoped to identify the issues which impelled women out of their domestic and private sphere and into the more public sphere of newspaper debate. The two Aberdeen newspapers were also well suited for this research because of their lack of editorial gatekeeping, with little censorship of letters discerned, even in wartime. However, a lack of editorial censorship did not mean that women correspondents faced no barriers to the publication of their opinions in the newspapers. Women correspondents had to overcome social conventions, including possibly the disapproval of friends and family, in order to enter the world of public debate. The research identified particular issues about which it was acceptable for women to correspond to the newspapers and particular women who were allowed to debate these issues. Middle-class women engaged in philanthropic and charitable work, especially that related to women and children or, during the First World War, the war effort, felt justified in writing to the newspapers in order to publicise such activities. Women also justified correspondence to the newspapers on certain matters by claiming that they came under woman's jurisdiction in the domestic sphere. Many women further justified their correspondence on such matters by using pen names which emphasised their domestic and maternal role, such as `Mother' or `Wife'. Such correspondence tended to be proactive rather than reactive to other material in the newspapers, which is in direct contrast to the findings of previous researchers into the motivation of newspaper correspondents. Interestingly, the research discovered that women correspondents' use of noms de plume increased from 1900 until the outbreak of the First World War. While some women used pen names to emphasise their familial role, others used them in a much more straightforward way - in order to protect their identity while writing on contentious subjects. Such subjects included controversial issues such as woman suffrage and the sexual double standards of early 2e century Britain. However, even the most militant suffragette justified her demand for a vote by emphasising woman's difference from man. Such correspondents preferred to enlarge the woman's sphere to include social commentary and electoral privilege rather than step outside it altogether. The research also investigated differences between the two newspapers and between pre-war and wartime correspondence. It is suggested that the Daily Journal attracted more letters from `domestic' women on issues related to a more narrowly defined `woman's sphere' while the Free Press's correspondents included more New Women. In addition, the Journal received more letters from women based in England or further afield, for example the colonies, while the Free Press tended to receive letters from women within Scotland. Women's wartime correspondence was dominated by the war effort, which swept most other topics of correspondence off the letters pages, although the later years of the war saw an increase in letters of complaint, usually aimed at increasing bureaucracy and again making use of familial pen names. Such findings contribute to the broader history of the media and women's studies in the northeast of Scotland, and indicate a broadening and nationalising of interest throughout the early 20th century, and the beginning of an accompanying weakening of local, regional links.

The common cold is one of the most frequently occuring illnesses in the world. It is caused by more than 200 known viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract.
The symptoms can include congestion in the nose, sore throat, headache, runny nose and sneezing. Coughing may also be present, but not always.
How mild or severe your childs cold (or any viral infection) will be determined by the strength of their immune system and the foods they eat during the course of the infection (Lucy Burney).
Both Finn and Sunny-Tao recently had minor colds after an extremely busy week in Sydney and then a fun-filled weekend back at home. So straight away I could see the metaphysical reason behind the illness. Louise L Hay (Heal Your Body) suggests that colds are caused by 'too much going on at once, mental confusion, disorder....', so emotionally the boys were susceptible to this aliment.
Therefore, I knew straight away we needed to slow down and rest our bodies. So I created an environment of peace and relaxation for the boys. A bed on the sofa, lots of books, love, nurturing and rest. We affirmed to ourselves that our bodies are strong and healthy and that they are working hard to heal, so we need to rest.
I also use homeopathics at the onset and follow the symptoms to guide me on the choice of remedy. To learn more see Homeopathic Remedies Information.
The boys got over their colds very quickly with only one night of being congested and one day of rest. So how was this possible, when you hear so often of children getting secondary infections, being prescribed antibiotics and being sick for at least a week? How did I help their immune systems successfully fight off this virus so easily?
After allowing a space for rest and relaxation, I eliminated all mucus-forming foods, especially dairy products from their diet. This includes milk, cream, yoghurt, ice cream and cheese. Other foods best left off the menu are egg, fried foods, red meat, processed foods, sugar and excessive salt.
What I include in their diets are foods that help to break down the mucus, such as citrus fruits, garlic, onion, chicken and green tea. Lemon and manuka honey with hot water is soothing as are soups ie miso or chicken. The boys also take a probiotic superfood, supporting their digestion to create a strong immune response.
The most important part of nurturing a cold is fluids to thin out the mucus to make it easier to cough up. Water and fresh juices are great. We made a combination of carrot, orange, apple with a tiny piece of ginger. Then later in the day blended a mango with banana and apple juice. I added a vitamin C and zinc powder, which both have been proven to decrease the severity of symptoms. From experience it seems a small dose taken frequently throughout the duration of a cold works most effectively.
To ease a sore throat manuka honey is great, as are frozen fruit ice blocks. We made blended strawberry and apple juice ones and also blackcurrant and apple.
Blackcurrants and strawberries are full of vitamin C and strengthen immune defences in our bodies.
We have a menu full of fruits and vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, seeds, pulses, lean meat and fish to strengthen the boys immune defences. Liquid Echinacea has an extremely unpleasant taste, but if you or your child are suffering from a severe sore throat, this herb with sooth and heal, not just mask the symptoms as a lot of over the counter lozenges do. Echinacea also stimulates the immune system and has antiviral and antibacterial properties.
At night time when the boys are congested we use aromatherapy. We use a combination of corn mint, eucalyptus and thyme. I either put drops on their pillows or rub their chests with 10 ml avocado oil and 6 drops of the aromatherapy oil.
Using a combination of the ideas given, you will be well on your way to shorten the duration of your cold and lessen the symptoms. Nurturing and nourishing our colds helps us feel better faster, I hope you have the same outcome.


The Codys, a dysfunctional family of criminals from the hardscrabble streets of Melbourne, Australia, go through a white-knuckle self-immolation in "Animal Kingdom," a film featuring a tour de force performance from Jacki Weaver as the most protective mother this side of "Alien."
The action begins with a young man, James (James Frecheville), calmly calling the police to inform them that his mother has died of a heroine overdose. He's is unnervingly unmoved by the turn of events. With nowhere else to go, he then calls his estranged grandmother, Janine "Smurf" Cody (Weaver), matriarch of a band of brothers/thieves. At the same time that James is drawn into the families web, a chain of events is set off that ultimately pits him against the only family he has left.
Writer-director David Michod's film takes a hard look at social Darwinism and the will to survive from a number of angles, a topic he makes plain with both the title of his film and the opening shot, which shows a bas-relief jungle scene with a roaring lion front-and-center. But Michod is smart enough to acknowledge that it's not just the strong that survive, as his characters' fates are also moved by luck and guile.
Michod expertly approaches his topic with a subtlety that only falters once, when James gets a talking to from Det. Nathan Leckie, played by Guy Pearce, whose performance manages to overcome the hilarious Ned Flanders push-broom he sports for the film. The speech -- a soliloquy, actually -- is clumsy and pedantic and obvious.
The greatest, most effective trick of the narrative is the sleight of hand Michood employs in presenting Pope (Ben Mendelsohn), the eldest of the Cody boys, as an abject sociopath. Your contempt is so focused on this miscreant, you almost fail to realize that it is Smurf who is the true monster, willing to do anything to ensure the safety of her brood. There's a moment toward the end of the film when Smurf explains her logic in deciding her course of action -- it is hard, cold, deadly and almost impossible to dispute.
As a member of the Blue-Tongue collective, a group of filmmakers that includes Joel and Nash Edgerton ("The Square" and the short "Spider" both of which we loved) and Spencer Susser ("Hesher," which was flawed but still good), Michod has been honing his skills as a writer. Here, in his first feature-film as a director, he shows a talent for working with actors and behind the camera as well. As good as Weaver and the rest of the cast are, "Animal Kingdom" is Michod's movie, and it's an audacious debut.

Policy That Enables Pay-for-Performance Dropout Recovery Programs to Re-engage Opportunity Youth
Rebekah Richards, Graduation Alliance
Download the full Impact Plan here
The Challenge: The dropout epidemic
It is common perception is that these youth don't care about school or understand the value of a high school diploma, but national research and our experience show the opposite to be true. Civic Enterprises in their groundbreaking research published in The Silent Epidemic in 2006 found that approximately 78% of students left school for non-academic reasons (need to work to support their families, pregnant or parenting, chronic medical issues, social anxiety or bullying, etc). Nationally, 67% of dropouts were passing all of their courses when they left school. Eighty-one percent said they believe a high school education is important for achieving their goals in life, while 76% reported they would return to school if they could attend a program with others in the same situation. Graduation Alliance has surveyed more than 12,000 returning dropouts about their motivations for returning to school. Approximately 36% reported that they wanted to attend college and 33% said they needed a diploma to get a job or a better job.
Belfield, Levin, and Rosen (2012) estimated the cost of lost economic opportunities as well as fiscal costs from foregone tax revenues, and additional public costs such as crime and higher public health and welfare costs of so-called "opportunity youth," at $258,240 per youth, over a lifetime in present value, and the cost to society at $755,900.1
It is our observation that the greatest barriers to effective dropout recovery programs for high school age students include:
Onerous seat-time or time-tracking attendance methodologies.
Inflexible funding mechanisms, including single or twice annual counts and funding caps, for example, provide little to no financial support for returning dropouts.
Accountability disincentives which weight test scores more highly than graduation rates – and discourage local systems from fighting to keep students from traditionally low-performing subgroups.
Lack of transparency around the true number of dropouts because of legal dropout age limits (which is age 18 in 22 states, at last count). Dropout reports typically show the low single digits while graduation rates hover around 82% nationwide. Much of the discrepancy comes from classifying students who leave school before they are legally allowed to "drop out" as habitual truants. As a result, the actual number of students who leave high school without a diploma is understated.
Relying on local districts with too few resources and too many priorities as they focus on serving the students who are still showing up to school every day to focus on dropout recovery, as well.
Several states have developed evidence-based pay-for-performance dropout recovery programs to address these challenges. Graduation Alliance, which has successfully served the most at-risk students in our nation, has been called on to consult with policymakers across the country on best practices in dropout recovery and many of these practices have been included in legislation to bring flexibility and funding mechanisms into alignment with best practices in dropout recovery. We will discuss the key principles of legislation that enables and incentivize districts to do this important work.
Ohio and Michigan have recently disrupted the traditional adult education system with a state-managed pay-for-performance adult dropout recovery model that has yielded in their first year of operations compelling outcomes and numbers of students served. Learnings from these programs can also be used to inform policy and have potential for helping systems overcome the ongoing barriers to dropout recovery at both the state and local level, with learnings from these programs incorporated in the policy discussion and model legislation for a state-managed dropout recovery program included in Appendix 2.
What are the benefits of taking on this challenge?
According to Dr. Henry Levin, the lifetime ROI for a high school graduate is $755,900. Let's break that down:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the benefit to individuals who earn a HS diploma compared with high school dropouts is anticipated to be:
– On average ~$469k net gain in earnings over their lifetime.
– Improved employment opportunities (average unemployment rate of 5.3 vs 7.7 for high school dropouts2).
– Disruption of cycles of intergenerational poverty.
– Increased post-secondary achievement levels for succeeding generations3.
Based on the research of Levin and others cited above, for communities, the outcomes are both economic and social in nature and include:
• Immediate workforce development opportunities to meet critical labor shortages.
• Decreased unemployment costs for employers.
• Economic multiplier effects to the State as more jobs are filled, more individuals have disposable income to reinvest in the local economy.
• Lower crime rates, safer neighborhoods, decreased costs related to incarceration.
• Improved family economic stability.
• Decreased costs related to healthcare for families and individuals utilizing government-subsidized programs.
The goal of this paper is to lay out a set of principles and policy approaches for satisfying each principle that address the variety of needs each state faces. It is our hope that by selecting and combining the best approach for the state from each principle, state policy makers and agencies can develop and implement dropout recovery policies that lead to widescale change for our students and the communities in which they live.
How this paper is organized?
This paper proposes two frameworks for making dropout recovery possible and a priority: a district-operated model and a state-managed model. The advantages and disadvantages of each model is provided as a starting point.
Because every state has its own nuances, we next provide policy discussions around five principles that enable strong dropout recovery programs. For each principle, we describe a variety of approaches states can take to meet local needs; further, we provide sample legislative language that can be employed to address each principle in range of contexts.
Principle 1: Meeting Students Where They Are At – Providing a Flexible Dropout Recovery Program
Principle 2: Funding Success
Principle 3: Student Eligibility Requirements
Principle 4: Using Accountability Systems to Incentivize Dropout Recovery Programs
Principle 5: Incorporating Best Practices for Dropout Recovery
Additionally, two complete versions of model legislation are provided.
Model Legislation Package #1 contains a model bill summary and complete model legislation for a district-implementation pay-for-success model for dropout recovery.
Model Legislation Package #2 contains model bill summary and model legislation for a state-managed pay-for-outcomes dropout recovery program that references the best practices of the state-managed adult high school diploma programs currently being operated in Ohio and Michigan.
Case studies of the structure and performance outcomes achieved by the Ohio and Michigan state-managed, pay-for-performance adult dropout recovery programs follows in Appendix 1.

Psychonauts 2 fantasizing / wish list
By Anemone, December 4, 2015 in Psychonauts 2
Milkmanism
Please no multiplayer or coop modes. Keep it singleplayer only so the focus is small and a great game can be made.
Haksu
Total Action Forum Master
Please no "I love punching" style stuff (at least to the same extreme), it was such a pain with keyboard and mouse.
Ooh, that actually raises an interesting point. Psychonauts 1 was developed with console in mind, initially, which is probably what led to situations like that. I wonder how the design/controls will change since there is zero doubt that PC/digital will be a target this time.
Ye I originally completed Psychonauts with Xbox and don't remember me having any problems with the controls there, but later in my "Must get all achievements"-mode had to spent few hours just spamming that one minigame and in the end got it with 0.4secs left in the clock and have hated that minigame since.
The Milkman™
- At the end of the game, leave the world open for exploration.
- Ability to disable the HUD (would be nice for the first game as well)
If you guys want to get rid of the punching, then how about giving Raz a psychic melee weapon like a Psy Sword?
I don't want to get rid of the punching, just minigames that require you to overclock your brains and fingers and pray for RNGesus while completing it on the highest level just because you chose to play with keyboard and mouse.
Take the "AD" out of "ADHD" when designing the minigames.
Spring Roo
A Pile of Kittens
Speaking of wishes, I'd like to have a new and revamped treasure hunt. Bigger and better!
And I'd also like to see Agent Crueller's youth (since we've already had tidbits of the stories of all the other Psychonauts).
The way I imagined it is that there are theese 2 Psychonauts Agents that are the "rivals" of the team Nine/Vodello. I admit I could have gone a little bit too far with imagination though. Further more since english is not my native language I'm not entirely sure of the exact meaning of the word 'Counterpart'.
It is a somewhat vague term. It typically refers to two types of relationship (though if you have one, you usually have the other)
1) Anything that has "another half" that it joins with to make some kind of whole has a counterpart. So in a crimefighting duo, the sidekick could be said to be a counterpart. Spouses are counterparts. The heads and tails side of a coin are counterparts, etc.
2) Anything that has something separate and discrete from itself that works in cooperation or toward the same end. The crimefighting duo analogy kinda works here as well, since Batman and Robin are technically two different people, and yet they are both doing the same sort of thing with the same sort of goal. You could also say that [ham and cheese] are counterparts in the context of a sandwich.
So.. two parts of some kind of broader unit. But the two parts or two halves don't have to be strictly identical. That's my native speaker sense of it.
So in this case my suspicion is that it refers to "other NPCs that play a similar role to Sasha/Milla", but who may or may not be major characters. But psychonauts 1 didn't really have any inconsequential characters in the hub, so I'm sure they will have at least some character.
I guessed right then. In my native language the word has a slightly different meaning. Citing from the dictionary, it means: "in every process, it is the antagonist part"
And backed! Was really suprised this morning, and I don't think I have been this happy about a video game anouncement in a very long time.
I hope we don't loose the whole summer camping theme.
It's a thing I really appreciate in the american pop culture (see Psychonauts 1, Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mistery, A Goofy Movie, Gravity Falls, and many other even better examples).
If you look at the second piece of concept art on the Fig site (showing the HQ from the outside), there is an arrow in the lower left corner pointing to "Camp", so I think the game will probably feature some known areas but probably not all.
I hope at least some of the other campers are back, but I am pretty sure, we will not see all of them.
Good news then
Hope to see my fav character again (Dogen)

DF Smash Bros.?
Oh, there are desperate fans out there who want their favorite characters in Smash even if they are not related to Nintendo. What would Raz's intro statement be? "Raz gets psyched for the competition!"
Well, we definitely know what his victory dance will be.

Yes! I don't remember if I wrote it here on the forums, but one thought I had was to make the treasure hunt procedural, so that item locations vary between plays, and once you've beaten the game, you can choose to re-shuffle, so that you can go around exploring a bit more to find the same, or possibly other, items again. It's possible that something like that would take a ton of time to implement though, and I don't expect it to be top priority.

- Have the game start right where the last one ended
- Feel free to limit some of the powers that we had from the first game at the start of the second
- revisit Raz's mind, now meat-free, in a Super Expensive Brain Tumbler
- Have one mind that we 'revisit' from the first game, besides Raz's, to show how things are different now (maybe Oleander's)
- more awkward romance between Raz and Lili, incorporating psychic powers to make it even more awkward
- Interact with the camp kids' parents, to show how similar/dissimilar they are from their children
- More information on the water hands curse
- See Raz's Mom
I think that for the most part returning elements from the previous game should be left as small cameos and background nods. The second game should have a separate identity, and I feel like the Asylum patients and the camp kids should be left behind for the most part. I loved all of them and they had way more personality than most video game characters, but they were kind of one-note and I'd rather see new crazy characters than see a rehash of what I've played. Nostalgia is good, but I've already seen that and can always go back to it. New is better.
And of course,
- Give Raz back his goggles. (He didn't have them at the end of the last game)

Whether or not Raz will start out with all of his psychic abilities is an interesting point. I can see why it'd be tempting to limit his skillset in the beginning rather than have intro level design accommodate for every power being available, but I also hope that the progression is represented through more than just a total rehash of the first game's badge system. Maybe use the same powers near the start, but build on them with more diverse upgrades and secondary abilities?
Either way, I'd appreciate having levitation early on.
Raz could start with all the previous powers and introduce tutorial for new players learn how to use different power in a crash course type of setting.
Maybe they could do smaller versions of Sashas, Millas and Coach Oleanders minds as optional Tutorials? They could say early on that whenever Raz needs more training he could ask them. And if you ask them, they pull you into their mind and provide you with training. Just not on the same scale as in part one. For example the cube in Sashas Mind had (obviously) six sides and therfore six different "rooms" plus the boss fight. The smaller version could be just one of the rooms plus a simulated boss fight.
On the other hand, they are at the HQ, and there should be some training facilities (i.e. completely new tutorials).
Or you have everything at your disposal from the beginning but you get a small tutorial the first time you need a power. You can play around with Pyrokinesis if you want to from the beginning, but at the first point where you need to burn something to progress there could be a dialogue. "Use your Pyrokinesis on it. You do know how to do it, right?" Possible answers could be "Yeah I know how to do it" (->Skip tutorial) or "I think I know how to do it, but tell me anyway." (start tutorial).
It is ok if there are a few tutorial parts dealing with old mechanics, but it should not take half the game to be where you were at the end of part one.
Ye either make tutorial completely different from the main story line (accessed via menus at the main menu) and can be completed before starting the story or like Mirko said it is part of the very early game and you can skip it if you have played Psychonauts earlier.

I'd be totally happy if they handled the tutorials like the first game- super quick tutorials that shove the basic controls and concepts of the game into one small bit that also double as small doses of exposition. I wouldn't necessarily mind a new 'Basic Braining', but I don't think they need to worry too much about tutorial-type stuff.

Let Raz to keep his existing power but improve their gameplay so that they feel more intuitive.
Give a way Raz to earn upgrades to his existing powers so that you can utilize them in new ways, additionally to their previous use.
Better enemy variety and make enemies more frequent in appreciate areas.
Better mouse + keyboard support. It was good enough in Psychonauts but could be improved upon.
Explain a lot more about their world as we barely know anything.
Yeah, I DEFINITELY want more worldbuilding! How does the world at large feel about psychics? How does their existence change culture and popular media? Is there any more science behind it, or is just brain stuff that happens because reasons? Are the only psychic celebrities psychonauts, or are there more out there in hollywood? I want to KNOW these things!
And more noncombative psychic powers would be really cool, or at least psychic powers with equally useful combative and noncombative uses! I wanna EXPLORE what I'm able to do with my mind!
I feel like we know just the right amount.
I've never been a big fan of games including a bunch of lore and information about characters/world just to have it in there. Over-explaining and over-analyzing are two ways to water a story down, if not ruin it. I expect we'll learn more about the Psychonauts as an organization as it will surely become necessary, but I don't want or expect Psychonauts to go Elder Scrolls with information about its world.
Plus, like Tim has kinda said about it: one of the cool things about Psychonauts is that it could be anywhere.
I'd like to see them pick up on the implication that Lili made, about the Psychonauts not being what they used to be. She said the world didn't need them anymore but never really elaborated on it. Though it could just have been a reference to how she doesn't want to inherit her father's work.
I thought the amount of backstory that could be found in the first game for places like Thorney Towers was a nice touch. Not necessarily a full codex, but enough to help paint a picture on how things ended up like they did, and why some of the strange things around camp actually had a reason to be there.

I am a sucker for good, strong characters with lots of depth, and the original game is of course full of that (in fact, character depth even plays an important role in the gameplay - so bonus points for that!) and in the sequel I'm hoping to learn even more about the characters. If the description on fig is anything to go by, it sounds like Raz is going to get some interesting character development, as he will apparently start to learn that the Psychonauts HQ is "not the perfect place he expected" and how he finds out that they "need him more than he needs them". I'm really looking forward to seeing how Raz's character develops in the sequel. But I'm also hoping to learn a few new things about the other returning characters (Lili, Sasha, Milla, Cruller, etc.) and I hope that any newly-introduced characters will be just as fun and quirky as those who appeared in the first game. So yeah. Keep up the great work with character design and development, DF!
I also second the previous comments about having lots to do in the physical, outside world. Like others here, I loved the atmosphere of the summer camp, interacting with the other characters, listening to their conversations (my favourite drummer joke came from that game btw) and it reminded me of my own childhood summers. Even though it sounds like the setting will be a little different (set at the HQ rather than a kids' summer camp) I still think it would be natural to bring the atmosphere of the first game into this.
Not actually sure where I stand with the whole "should Raz start with his psychic powers from the first game or not" thing. I can kind of see advantages and disadvantages to both sides of the argument, and I haven't really taken a side yet. It will be interesting to see what the devs decide on!
Also not sure whether I like the idea of having more than one controllable character. I do think it'd be interesting because in the first game all the different kids at the camp have their own specialities when it comes to psychic powers, and being able to control more characters, each with their own powers, would probably be really fun! But at the same time I'm not sure how feasible that is, plus I wouldn't want extra controllable characters to take away from Raz's story and development.
I hope we get to visit Boyd's brain again... but this time actually help him
Especially if the G-Men have returned.
Mind-control to control different characters would be an interesting new power. That was pretty much the basis for Stacking, so maybe they'd reuse it. Fits into the world and lore pretty nicely
If they really do get JB back in the studio, there should be a joke where at some point Jack Black says the line:
"WITH MIND BULLETS!!! That's telekenesis, Raz."
I'd rather have the power to move you.
I loved how much depth even the smallest characters had in Psychonauts, and how the campers had their own little story arcs you could follow if you thoroughly explored the hub between levels. I'd love to see more of that stuff in Psychonauts 2.
If we see the return of an inventory system, plenty of great responses when you try to use objects on characters.
Also, using clairvoyance on NPCs was a lot of fun, as it was another way to get a bit more depth out of them in seeing how they see Raz.
I would preferably not like to see another point-of-no-return at the end of the game, but if it makes the most narrative sense, then I'll deal with it.
I would like to also have shed some light of what other camp members do as psychonauts if they end up joining them.
It's just some stuff like, their common powers and how they benefit their cause. Unless the world fears their existence then I could see many of them making in medical field like curing people from their insanity like Raz did in the first game.
Since Raz is protagonist the story probably will imply that he is exceptional compared to his peers but I would still like to see how powerful an average psychonaut is.

I would like to know if Sasha Nein has started vaping, as I noticed his floating ciggie seems to be absent
Agreed. I loved the little subplots and background interactions. Some of my favorite jokes early on came from just sitting around and listening to the band members shoot the breeze.
He just telekinetically draws all secondhand smoke in the air toward him wherever he goes.


What else? The new model has a simpler compartment for your hydration bladder or bottle, and the opening where you insert the tube is easier to work with (the old one was difficult to thread into the pack strap). If you carry skis in the aframe position the edges sometime cause undue wear on pack fabric. Alp40 has a couple of wear patches to prevent this. These add weight and are unnecessary if you carry skis diagonal, but they'd be fairly easy to remove.
Excellent sidepockets on waist belt will hold sunglases or smaller digicams. I love having two of these, one for the camera and one for my sunscreen and a gu pack.
As for negs, we can't find much crit for the Alp40. Parts of the pack use double fabric construction when one layer would weigh less and work just as well, why not design that out? We wish one of these pack companies would make a series of small accessory pouches and associated non-jiggle fastening system mounted on a shoulder strap. Such would be useful for a 2-way radio, cell phone, GPS or camera. A minor but potentially important gripe is that the backboard in the pack tends to form a hard wearpoint at the bottom of the pack. This needs a small patch of the same material used for the ski edge protectors. Without that, if you take a "sit down" fall while scree hiking or rock scrambling, this area will quickly wear out. Interim solution is to smear with urethane seam sealer once you notice any wear.
Another accessory we'd like to see is a built-in Avalung — we encourage Black Diamond to license their Avalung to other pack makers. The only way we'll really see if the Avalung works is if it's in use by most backcountry skiers, and the only way that'll happen is if it's available in a broad choice of configurations from different companies, as seatbelts are in automobiles.
In all, we can easily recommend this pack and will add it to our pack quiver for this winter's adventures.
Shop for 2010-2011 BCA ALP 40 Backpack.
Nice pack with the possible shortcomings described in the review.
I have to state one additional opinion and that is, the color is awful. I have often wished that BCA (a cool Colorado company) would offer a color choice on it's larger packs.
I have used a small camera case made by Lowe Alpine for several years on my waist belt, both for my camera and occasionally for other little things, goo etc. It's bomber.
did you get a chance to try out the nalgene-bottle based hydration system BCA is touting with this pack?
I picked up the nalgene hydration system as a retrofit from BCA. Seems to work well.
You know what goes great with this bag? A helmet cam!

It has been no mean feat to manage this mammoth event, that spanned across 2 days with 25 hours of non-stop programs involving nearly 150 artists from Karnataka and Singapore. I must say that this was only possible due to the association with P2M.
My team and I have enjoyed working with P2M's team on the project where my colleagues commended that P2M was one of the better events company whom we have worked with.
P2M Concepts Pte Ltd was able to inject wonderful ideas and activities which led to a successful event.
I am pleased that they are able to provide good solutions whenever we run into issues and deliver timely responses at each milestone.
The team was responsive, professional and solutions-oriented. The organisation of the conference was handled very well and we received excellent feedback on the conduct of the conference from participants. And, when a few things did not go to plan, as is inevitable when organising a major conference, the team acted swiftly to suggest solutions and take corrective action.
The management team was impressed with the smooth organization of the event and the arrangements the organizing committee had put in place. Your dedication and commitment have helped to ensure that the event was very well organized.
Print quality was excellent, set-up went smooth without a hitch, as with the services rendered throughout the engagement. Well done!".

Hill Briefing: How School Diversity Matters
Learning Policy Institute Congressional Briefing – "Separate and Unequal: How School Diversity Matters for Educational Opportunity and Attainment"
On November 14, 2019, we will be partnering with the Learning Policy Institute and the Stanford Graduate School of Education and Center for Education Policy Analysis to present the congressional briefing "Separate and Unequal: How School Diversity Matters for Educational Opportunity and Attainment."
Registration and a light breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m. The briefing will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. Breakfast will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Seating is limited. Please RSVP by Tuesday, November 12, 2019.
When: November 14th at 9:00am (light breakfast at 8:30am)
Where: Russell Senate Office Building
2 Constitution Ave, NE
Kennedy Caucus Room
Remarks by
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)
Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (D-OH-11)
Linda Darling-Hammond, President, Learning Policy Institute
Rucker Johnson, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley, Goldman School of Public Policy
Sean Reardon, Professor of Poverty and Inequality in Education, Stanford University
Despite a large body of research showing that school desegregation benefits all students, there is a persistent-but-misguided belief that school segregation doesn't matter. This briefing will share the research on how school segregation affects student achievement, why school desegregation benefits all students, and what policies can most effectively support school integration.
More than half a century after the passage of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, the nation's schools are becoming increasingly segregated by race and income, with students of color and students concentrated in high poverty schools with less access to the high-quality resources and opportunities that all children need to succeed and become contributing members of society. During this briefing, speakers will discuss:
New findings from the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University, a study of more than 7,500 school districts in the United States documenting the large racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in educational opportunities and success and the role of segregation in those disparities.
Findings from the recently published Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works, which used longitudinal data going back to the 1960s and found that school integration efforts in the 1970s and 1980s were overwhelmingly successful in improving outcomes both in school and later in life.
The role of state school finance reforms and federal investments in addressing inequities in educational opportunities and increasing school integration.

See Supermodels Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrósio, and Candice Swanepoel Pose in a New SKIMS Campaign
Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum at the 2003 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.Dimitrios Kambouris
Icons, all of them!
SKIMS, Kim Kardashian's shapewear, underwear, and loungewear brand, just brought together some of the world's most iconic supermodels to model for the brand's latest campaign.
Supermodels Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrósio, and Candice Swanepoel modeled pieces from the SKIMS best-selling "Fit's Everybody" collection for the new Icons campaign. Klum, Banks, Ambrósio, and Swanepoel all held the title of Victoria's Secret Angel at some point throughout their modeling careers.
"Every woman is an icon. I see icons reflected in the women around me: my daughters, mom, and sisters," Kardashian told People, which published the exclusive on the SKIMS campaign along with photos. "The women I work with each day are iconic, and so are the women I worked with for this campaign—Tyra, Heidi, Alessandra, and Candice. The list goes on!" (I wonder if Kim approves of their work ethic, considering her "advice" to women a few weeks ago?)
Below, you'll find images from the new SKIMS campaign shot by brand collaborators Sandy Kim and Greg Swales, including some featuring Kardashian, who wrote on Instagram that she was not supposed to be in the shoot but joined just for fun. (Sure, Kim…)
"When we were developing the 'Fits Everybody' collection, it was with the intention to create underwear that would perfectly fit everybody," Kardashian told People. "To do this, we updated a fabric traditionally used as a 'one size fits all' and made it in our nine sizes—it also stretches to twice its size without ever losing shape, so it just molds to your body in the softest, comfiest way."
Kardashian continued, "I really believe that when we feel comfortable we're more confident and are able to show up as the best versions of ourselves."
"We have all been doing our own things so it was great to be together and catch up on everything that has been happening in our lives," Ambrósio told People. "We chatted, laughed a lot but since we all have kids we all had to run home after so unfortunately no time for hanging out."

Q: Can't subtract text of one cell from another Is it possible to subtract text of a cell from another text of different cell? I meant to subtract text in B1 from text in A1 using excel formula.
Cell A1 contains:

Cell B1 contains:
77546-4005

I expect the result in C1 which can be obtained subtracting A1-B1 using formula:
FRIENDSWOOD CITY N

I tried like the below one but it gives me value error:
=A1-(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1)))

A: Try using this formula:
=REPLACE(A1,FIND(B1,A1),LEN(B1),"")

Here's my result:

A: You could also try this simple formula,

In my previous article, I outlined why you should engage your stakeholders and how you identify them.
But what do you do once you've identified the stakeholders?
On the horizontal axis is the stakeholder's interest in the Project – the more to the right, the bigger the interest. On the vertical axis is the Power – the higher up the axis, the bigger is the power the stakeholder has in the project.
This matrix requires stakeholder interest evaluation. Even though this evaluation will be carried out by an expert, it should be based on some data. You'll want to find out what each stakeholder expects from the project, and measure the interest by those expectations. For example, you could use a scale from 1 to 10 (where 10 stands for the highest interest in the project). Each point in that scale should have a clear interpretation, so that the expert can evaluate the interest with maximum accuracy.
Some of the expectations are very obvious, but others happen to be hidden, and it's important to reveal them.
After you've evaluated project expectations you have to define what the power of each stakeholder is. To simplify the procedure you can again use the expert opinion and a ten-point scale.
Monitor – occasionally check if the stakeholder's interest or power have increased, because a change in the scale will cause a shift to a different quadrant of the matrix and a need to change the strategy.
Keep informed – inform the stakeholder about the expected project results, project progress and project changes in multiple ways, so that a positive attitude towards the project is achieved.
Keep satisfied – it's usually easy to fulfill the expectations of this group of stakeholders, because their expectations are relatively low. That's why you have to define those expectations, convert them into deliverables and actually deliver those. If the expectations contradict project aims, it's necessary to explain the stakeholders those expectations are not supposed to be fulfilled.
Manage closely – involve into the decision-making process, frequently inform if the aims are fulfilled, show them intermediate results.
Which stakeholders should be seen as sources of risk for the project.
Which stakeholders should be taken into consideration in project communication matters, how often and in which form you should give the info to each stakeholder.
Which additional operations should be included in the list of project operations to manage project stakeholders.
Thus, analyzing project stakeholders can provide you with a lot of vital information about project planning. It is important to repeat this analysis once in awhile as the project develops, because power and interest can change. Also, as you get the intermediate results of this analysis, you can see that new stakeholders are appearing, the ones you couldn't identify while the project started. There are many things a project manager should do for the project to succeed. Analyzing the stakeholders is not the most difficult of those, but it sure is important.
