THE WINNOWING BEGINS
James Joyner · Thursday, January 15, 2004 · 3 comments
WaPo's Primary Dispatches shows some interesting movement in the Iowa polling:
With former Vermont governor Howard Dean and Missouri Rep. Richard A. Gephardt slugging it here in increasingly harsh and personal ways, something seems to be happening under the surface: The other candidates are gaining on them.
For months, media types have been pegging the Iowa contest as a two-way race between Dean and Gephardt. But tracking data this week has suggested a slow erosion of Dean's support and an inability by Gephardt to expand his support in the days before the election.
A couple things appear to be happening:
People are getting turned off by the negativity of the sniping between Gephardt and Dean.
As the large number of undecided Iowans are finally starting to make up their minds, they're going to Kerry and Edwards, rather than Dean or Gephardt.
Given the nature of a caucus, though, which emphasizes the type of enthusiastic support required to go stand around debating the merits of the candidates on a cold Monday evening, "preference" isn't nearly as importance as energy.
What's more interesting to me is the surprise withdrawal of Carol Moseley Braun, which I heard about on NPR this morning and was reminded of with this story. Not that she was a factor in the race or that it particularly matters, but because she was never going to be a factor and therefore had to be running simply for the exposure. She was running on a shoestring budget and could have continued like that for months. She has less chance of being the Vice Presidential nominee than Al Sharpton, so there's not a payoff here. So why now?
Update (1319): Stephen Green notes that the Fox report on the Braun departure was woefully lacking in analysis. My response in his comments section,
Well, considering that her standing in the polls was a small fraction of the margin of error, there's not a whole lot to say, really.
Some analysis from Fox:
Brit: Who benefits most from the three votes now up for grabs with CMB out of the race.
Mort: Brit, to be fair, it's more like four votes. This is a huge boost for Dennis Kucinich, whose own stupidity was overshadowed by that of CMB.
Juan: CMB's departure is sad. She really brought a lot of grace to the race and improved her stature as a political leader.
Fred: Juan, you and Mort are dolts. Clearly, Al Sharpton will get those votes. And, Brit and Mort, you're both wrong–it's more like two votes.
FILED UNDER: Campaign 2004, Dennis Kucinich
hln says:
Gephardt just needs to go home and stop trying to play presidential candidate. Carol's got some common sense for doing the same.
James Joyner says:
If Gephardt isn't at least a very, very close second in Iowa, he'll almost certainly do just that. He's not going to win in New Hampshire and he's a big enough candidate that he needs lots of cash. His money will dry up quickly if he doesn't do well in Iowa, which is his own backyard.
bryan says:
Mosely-Braun didn't get her matching funds paperwork turned in by the deadline for January. I think that has the most to do with it. Even a shoestring needs some federal extension to keep it going. I got the feeling from the reports that whoever was running her campaign office was not doing an admirable job.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can't stop being the worst version of himself while touring India.
During an official visit this week, Trudeau has once again dipped back into his charisma well to inspire good headlines, and global affection. Only this time, it looks like he's drowned.
Every day of his trip, Trudeau opted to don grand, ceremonial outfits traditional for India. It can be presumed that he wanted to show respect and "fit in" with the people of the country. In reality, most saw it as trying to hard at best, or as cultural appropriation at worst.
Of course, this is nothing new for Trudeau. He's continually stuck his Disney Prince face into whatever photo op continues to build his brand as the good guy ally, the nerdy man of the people, and super hunk statesman.
Well, the headlines that have come out of Trudeau's India visit have unraveled a bit of that perception. Press in the asian country and abroad have called out his embarrassing over-the-top dress as reeking of overcompensation.
And so, the internet dragged him for it.
Just chill, Justin. Just chill.

Transport Scotland has today (Wednesday 29th August) announced its intention to award the construction contract for the next major section of the £3billion A9 Dualling Programme to Balfour Beatty.
This construction contract forms part of the £96million project to dual the 9.5km of the A9 between Luncarty and Pass of Birnam. It will be the second construction contract to be awarded as part of the Scottish Government's ambitious programme to dual the A9 between Perth and Inverness.
Balfour Beatty was appointed from a shortlist of four bidders which included Dragados SA, Wills Bros. Civil Engineering and a joint venture between Farrans Construction and Roadbridge.
This marks the final phase in the procurement process which, subject to a mandatory standstill period, will conclude with the contract awarded in the coming weeks.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity Michael Matheson said: "This marks another significant milestone in the timeline of this major transport infrastructure project for Scotland to upgrade 80 miles of single carriageway between Perth and Inverness.
"The dualling of the A9 will create hundreds of new jobs throughout the construction phases which will leave a lasting legacy of a highly skilled workforce, bolstering Scotland's construction industry. The project will also act as a catalyst to attract significant inward investment and stimulate continued growth of our business communities, especially the tourism industry along this key route.

Building Partnerships Between Colleges and Underserved Communities
By Michael Burns
During my 30-plus years with the federal government, I have held many great positions, such as Deputy Director of the Army Reserve Base Operations Division, and Executive Director of the Navy's Southeast Region. I have enjoyed each and every position, but I never felt that I was giving back to communities as much as I would have liked.
Students from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College explore downtown development opportunities with the City of Ashburn master planner.
Five years ago, I worked for the National Park Service, and attended a meeting with various federal agencies to work together on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act projects where we met with the Mayor of Hayneville, a small town in southern Alabama. The Mayor described how she had many infrastructure issues to address, but expressed concern about her city's capacity to pass federal audit requirements that come with the funding needed to address the issues. She said a Certified Public Accountant told her it would cost about $20,000 to ensure she passed the audit. For a small, poor town of 1,080, such a fee was beyond their means. I thought about it, and remembered that a university only thirty minutes away could possibly help them. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I was unable to follow through with the idea.
Many small, underserved communities, like Hayneville, are in need of resources to improve their environment and quality of life. However, they often lack the technical expertise in engineering, transportation, and infrastructure planning to pursue initiatives in a progressive and sustainable manner.
Eighteen months later, I was talking to folks from EPA Region 4 about this idea of connecting underserved communities with the talents of college students and faculty. They asked if I would be willing to collaborate with EPA. I agreed, and began to reach out to colleges and universities.
With no budget or funding to provide to the schools, it was tough going! Our first breakthrough came when the U.S. Department of Energy agreed to provide stipends to students through its Massie Chair of Excellence Program at Tennessee State University. The students worked with the City of Cooperstown, Tennessee, helping it upgrade its financial recordkeeping and develop an economic development plan. With this effort, we were able to prove that the college-community partnership concept was not only valid, but we could help make a difference in small, underserved communities. But the lack of funding continued to plague our efforts.
Our biggest advance came when Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, a small college in Tifton, Georgia, agreed to provide economic development plans for two small cities in Georgia with no financial support from the federal government. The College understood the value of giving its students such a rich experiential learning opportunity in which they could take what they learned in the classroom, apply it to real world problems, and come up with real-world solutions. The school also understood that such opportunities were more important than simply extending financial support to these cities. Just as critical was that the program gave their students a leg up when looking for employment after graduation – they not only could talk in interviews about what they learned, but about what they had DONE. In addition, the school is now an important pillar of the community. It is looked upon as an organization that can and has made a visible difference in these communities.
The briefing the school gave the communities about concepts and plans for economic development was fantastic! It has offered to help these communities develop grant proposals to move forward, and get the resources they need for improvements.
As a result of the growing success of the program, I was hired at EPA Region 4 to expand EPA's College/Underserved-Communities Partnership Program (CUPP), which develops long-term partnerships between local colleges and universities and underserved cities and communities. Through the program, schools provide technical support to communities at no cost to them. Small rural communities are able to use this assistance to address important issues – like energy savings projects, land reuse, and economic development – that will support the long-term viability of their communities.
We continue to add colleges and universities to this effort, and in future blog posts we will talk about plans and projects that are moving these underserved communities forward. We are also looking for schools that wish to voluntarily be a part of this program. Do you know a school, or does your school want to make a difference in the lives of those who need the help the most? Let us know!

On 10 March 2019, Molinari won the Arnold Palmer Invitational for his third PGA Tour victory of his career. He teed off 10 groups ahead of the leaders on the final day and 5 stokes behind, making three birdies and no bogeys on his first seven holes. On the 8th hole, from well off the green he holed a chip for another birdie and made the turn in 32 (−4). He made four more birdies on the back nine, including a 43-foot putt at the 72nd hole, to shoot a final-round 64 that ended up giving him a two-stroke win over Matthew Fitzpatrick, who shot a final-round 71.
In April 2019, Molinari was the 54-hole leader at the Masters at 13 under, two strokes clear of Tony Finau and Tiger Woods, after a six-under-par 66 third round. Molinari held the lead for two thirds of the final round, until he reached the par-3 12th, where his tee shot found the water, resulting in a double bogey. He found the water again on the 15th, which led to another double bogey to fall out of contention. He finished with a round of 74 and T5 finish, still his best performance at the Masters to date.
*As of the 2019 season. ^ Molinari became member of the PGA Tour in 2015, so he is not included in the money list before that.
Molinari recorded his fifth European Tour win and first Rolex Series titles in May 2018, with victory in the European Tour's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship. He produced a flawless final round to see off Rory McIlroy by two strokes. The win took Molinari level with Costantino Rocca, for most European Tour wins by an Italian. In the same year, Molinari won the Quicken Loans National in a dominating fashion by shooting a 62 on Sunday to win by eight strokes, the first PGA Tour win for an Italian since 1947.
At the 2018 Open Championship, Molinari won the tournament with a score of −8, pairing with Tiger Woods in the final round. The win at the Open Championship moved him to sixth place in the Official World Golf Ranking, the highest ranking of his career to date.
On 18 November 2018, Molinari won the season-long Race to Dubai title on the European Tour. The victory was worth $1,250,000.
On 16 December 2018, he received the 2018 BBC World Sport Star of the Year award (formerly known as the BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year award), Molinari was the first Italian to receive this prize.
Molinari has worked since 2018 with Dave Alred on several mental aspects of his game.
In September 2018, Molinari qualified for the European team participating in the 2018 Ryder Cup. Europe defeated the U.S. team 17 1/2 to 10 1/2. Molinari became the first player ever to go 5-0-0. He famously paired with Tommy Fleetwood to win all four fourball and foursome matches. He also won his singles match against Phil Mickelson.
In 2015 and 2016 Molinari shared his time between the European Tour and PGA Tour. In September 2016 he became the first Italian to win his national open twice with a 1 shot victory over Danny Willett at the 2016 Italian Open. Other notable results in Europe were the 2nd places collected at the 2015 Open de España and 2016 Open de France, while in the U.S. he collected a 3rd place at the 2015 Memorial Tournament. In the same year he also recorded a hole in one at the iconic 16th hole of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
During the 2013 and 2014 seasons Molinari didn't register any win, but his steady position in the top fifty of the OWGR allowed him to play several PGA Tour events as a non-member, where he reached three top ten finishes; among these the most prestigious result was the 6th place at the 2014 Players Championship. These results allowed him to earn a full PGA Tour card for the 2014–15 season.
Molinari picked up his third win on the European Tour on 6 May 2012 at the Reale Seguros Open de España. He was four strokes out of the lead going into the final round but fired a 65 (−7), the best round of the tournament, to win by three strokes over Alejandro Cañizares, Søren Kjeldsen and Pablo Larrazábal. In July 2012, the week before the Open Championship, Molinari lost in a playoff at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open. He was defeated on the first playoff hole by Jeev Milkha Singh.
Molinari gained an automatic selection for the 2012 Ryder Cup, where he played the foursomes with Lee Westwood on Friday, losing by 3 and 2 to Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson; he then teamed up in the four-balls with Justin Rose, losing by 5 and 4 against Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson. On the final day, he halved with Tiger Woods in the last singles match. The point meant Europe not only completed a comeback from 10–6 down at the start of the final day to retain the cup, but won it outright by a score of 14½ points to 13½.
Molinari had a steady 2011 without any further victories but did record seven top-10 finishes, including a 3rd place at the WGC-Cadillac Championship. He finished the year ranked 21st in the Race to Dubai.
On 7 November 2010, Molinari won the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China. He defeated Lee Westwood by one stroke, finishing at 19-under par. The win moved him into 14th in the Official World Golf Ranking, his highest ranking for eight years. He also recorded eleven top-10 finishes including two runner-up finishes en route to a 5th-place finish in the Race to Dubai.
In October 2010, he represented Europe in the 2010 Ryder Cup which took place at Celtic Manor Resort, teaming up with his brother Edoardo in the four-balls (halved against Stuart Cink and Matt Kuchar) and foursomes (lost against Zach Johnson and Hunter Mahan). He then lost the singles match by 4 and 3 against Tiger Woods on the final day. Europe defeated the United States 14½–13½.
*Note: The 2010 WGC-HSBC Champions is not counted as a PGA Tour win because Molinari was not a PGA Tour member at the time.
On 29 November 2009, Molinari, along with his older brother Edoardo, led Italy to their first World Cup victory at the Omega Mission Hills World Cup in China.
Molinari has been in the top 100 of the World Rankings continuously since the end of 2008. Playing with his brother Edoardo, they won the 2009 Omega Mission Hills World Cup, Italy's only win in the event. Molinari won the 2010 WGC-HSBC Champions and has represented Europe in three winning Ryder Cup teams, in 2010, 2012 and 2018.
Molinari is a fan of Italian football team Internazionale, he also supports West Ham United after Italian football manager Gianfranco Zola started managing the East London side in 2008.
In May 2006, Molinari claimed his first European Tour victory, becoming the first Italian since Massimo Mannelli in 1980 to win the Telecom Italia Open. This victory helped him finish 38th on the Order of Merit. Molinari didn't win on Tour between 2007 and 2009 but during that time he recorded twenty top-10 finishes including three runner-up finishes. He finished 60th on the Order of Merit in 2007, 24th in 2008 and 14th in the Race to Dubai in 2009. In October 2009, Molinari reached the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time.
Molinari earned his European Tour card for 2005 through qualifying school. He finished in 86th place on the tour's Order of Merit in his rookie season.
Molinari was born in Turin, Italy, and is the younger brother of Edoardo Molinari. As an amateur, he won the Italian Amateur Stroke Play Championship twice, and the Italian Match Play Championship in 2004. He turned professional later that year.
Francesco Molinari (born 8 November 1982) is an Italian professional golfer. He won the 2018 Open Championship, his first and only major victory, and the first major won by an Italian professional golfer. The Open Championship win capped a successful season in which he won the 2018 BMW PGA Championship, his sixth win on the European Tour, and the Quicken Loans National, his first PGA Tour win. At the end of the season, Molinari won 5 out of 5 points as Europe won the 2018 Ryder Cup.

Kalyaani
Kalyaani: The Musician With A Purpose
Published on February 21, 2018 in Entertainment by Mayukha Deepak
She has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry from Hindi rockers Daira and hip-hop collective Swadesi to singer-songwriter Vasuda Sharma and even tribal musicians. Her latest album titled 'Noises in My Head' just made its debut. She is part of Strisvara, an initiative with Treeonz supported by the US Consulate and the Karnataka government. It is the only organization of its kind that has an all women residency and that empowers and encourages tribal girls to work alongside urban and international musicians. Her work has been recognized by the Platform Magazine India, and the Discovery Channel India.
Who is Kalyaani?
Kalyaani Sakkarwal is an independent musician, singer-songwriter from Delhi, now based out of Mumbai. Kalyaani has a strong voice that conveys emotion beautifully, echoing the earthiness of her native – Himachal, where she grew up. Resonating with causes such as environmental preservation and animal rights, she is the founding member of the independent band, Anantara, and has been playing extensively across Delhi and lately in Mumbai. She made her video debut with '5 Elements', directing attention to the devastation caused by the Uttarakhand floods. Along with Anantara, she was also the launch artist for Red FM's 'Red Bandstand', an initiative that has seen subsequent success nationwide. Apart from developing her vocal ability, Kalyaani counts songwriting – both English and Hindi – as the other thing that keeps her motivated.
Since childhood, I have been close to music, just the regular school things, college things, and then, the dream."
Living Her Childhood Dream
As a child, Kalyaani was always inclined towards the musical note from reading poetry to listening to all kinds of music. Gradually, music just became something she wanted to do all the time and by herself. Music helped her be herself all the time. On the way, Kalyaani met some incredible individuals who were in sync with the kind of work she liked to do and the issues she believed in. And it wasn't easy shifting to music after a stable corporate job. But Kalyaani's parents always stood by her bold decision and are extremely proud of her work. That's all that matters to Kalyaani.
What is music to Kalyaani? "A way of life, a revolution and my one true friend!" Life is her inspiration, and all its events, that play with all the emotions in her musical spectrum.
Kalyaani feels that every generation listens to a type of music that inspires them to create their own individualistic approach, but says no matter what they listen to, their core values will always stay the same.
Kalyaani looks forward to her upcoming music tour and collaborating with more amazing artists to make beautiful music together. Her bold advice to others who are aiming to pursue music professionally? "Do what works for you, be yourself and support each other!"

I've come across an issue with a customer whereby a user who was completing a new starter form was able to select a leave date before their start date.
I understand there's nothing which can be done from a request offering perspective but am wondering if it is possible to take the start date field using some customjs and overwrite the earliest date option for the leave date?
Assuming that the form has the Date/Time picker control for the start and leave dates, the picker can be configured in the ARO to only display dates X number of days from the user's current date and up to Y number of days thereafter.
Therefore, when the user is completing the request, the available leave date to select from would always be a future date.
We have already done this, but the leave date can be before the start date as all we're doing is limiting the available date range based on the users local time. I.e. if the earliest date I can pick is 7 days from now there is nothing to stop me picking a start date 14 days from now and a leave date 7 days from now.
What would be good in this instance would be the ability to take whatever start date is selected (which is based off the users current time) and then set the leave date's earliest time as the selected start date.
there is an option in the RO_Toolbox for having a 2nd date field only allowing entries after the date entered in the first field.

Let's talk about types of discontinuities by considering UFO behavior. Remember that a discontinuity is where the value of a function jumps, and a function is continuous if you can trace the entire graph without lifting your finger from the paper.
Consider a UFO who's hanging around in Earth - maybe he's checking out crops. At some point in time, it appears that he jumps to the Moon - but just for a single instant. Maybe a little later in time, he jumps up to Mars but, again, only for that exact moment in time. What we've done is we've put holes in the graph where he's not at a particular altitude at a particular time - but only at that instant. And we put a point on the graph for where he is at that particular instant.
Each point is a single point in time. I keep saying the word point, so I should call these point discontinuities or, if you want to get a little more formal, removable discontinuities.
Now, for example, what about f(x) where f(x)=1 when x<1 or x>1, and f(x)=2 for x=1. So at that single point, x=1, our function has the value 2, but everywhere else, the function has the value 1. So this is a point, or removable, discontinuity at x=1.
Let's consider the same UFO now, but instead of checking out the Moon at a single point in time, he jumps up to the Moon. So he disappears from our crops and reappears up at the Moon and then he stays there. At some point in time, his location jumps. Understandably, we call these jump discontinuities. For jump discontinuities, the function jumps to a new value.
Let's look at a mathematical example. Let's look at a function where f(x)=1 for x less than or equal to zero, and when x>0, all of a sudden, f(x)=x. We're looking at the right side of the graph now, and at the point x=0, we have a jump in our function.
Another example is the function of the floor of x, f(x)=floor(x). So floor(x) rounds down, such that the floor of 4.1 is 4 and the floor of 4.9 is 4 and floor of 4.999999 is 4. You can also think of this as cutting off everything to the right-hand side of the decimal point. If I graph floor(x), then I get a stair-step pattern. If x<5 but x is greater than or equal to 4, the value is 4. If x=2.3, then f(x)=2. Now, at every integer, the function jumps, so you can think of it as having an infinite number of jump discontinuities.
Okay, we have point discontinuities and jump continuities, so what happens if the UFO takes a nosedive and actually goes into the Earth, maybe toward the center of the Earth. And, all of sudden you see him way up out in space and flying back down to check out crops again. Maybe there's some kind of wormhole. At that moment in time, we have a vertical asymptote. So this type of discontinuity, where we're lifting up our finger and putting it down somewhere else, is called an asymptotic discontinuity.
Let's look at a mathematical example. Say f(x)=1/x, and we know that the graph looks like this. At x=0, we have a vertical asymptote, and we have an asymptotic discontinuity. What about the function f(x)=x^-2? Well, this is really saying that f(x)=1/(x^2). We have the same problem; this is not defined at x=0.
Let's look at something a little more complex. This graph looks very busy. I don't know what this function is, but let's just analyze the graph. At x=1, there's a point discontinuity, or removable discontinuity. At x=2, we have a jump discontinuity, because the function jumps at that particular value of x. At x=3, there is no discontinuity. Sure, there's a kind of corner in the graph, but I can trace this line without lifting my finger up, so this is continuous. And, at x=5, we have an asymptotic discontinuity, where the function approaches minus infinity and then reappears at infinity. So we have all three kinds of discontinuities: points, jumps and asymptotic.
To recap, there are three types of discontinuities for f(x).
The point, or removable, discontinuity is only for a single value of x, and it looks like single points that are separated from the rest of a function on a graph. A jump discontinuity is where the value of f(x) jumps at a particular point. An asymptotic discontinuity is where the value of f(x) goes to +/- infinity at a particular point in x.


A cultivar of Camellia japonica L. A vigorous shrub with oval lance-shaped leaves and large, irregularly double white flowers, strongly marbled red, with some petals red, or white marbled red. [RHSE, Hilliers']. 'Bud calyx in fine green divisions, papyraceous, reddish at the base, five lines broad and eight long; flower from three to four inches in diameter; petals about 20, an inch broad, and nearly two long, ovate-oblong, obtuse, entire, cherry-red, No.1, variegated and sprinkled with white; the heart of the corolla is composed of from four to six curled petals, between them are perceived several fertile stamens, with others in a petaloid state.-Magnificent.' [Berlèse Monography p.92/1838].
'Donckelaeri' was brought to Belgium from Japan by Franz von Siebold in 1830, together with 'Tricolor', 'Ochroleuca' and 'Candidissima', all of them raised and propagated by Donckelaer. [ICR]. Berlèse Iconographie vol.1 pl.9/1841-43.
Listed in the 1845, 1850 and 1857 catalogues. [T.219/1845] 'Donckelaeri' is marked with a 'c', denoting grown at Camden, in an 1836 edition of Loddiges' Nursery catalogue held at Camden Park [CPA]. Probably obtained from Loddiges' Nursery, either in a case of plants brought back by Bidwill or in a direct importation in late 1844. Concerning the latter Macarthur wrote on 6th January 1845 that he now had five camellias 'which we had not before', and of the former that he had saved 60% of the plants: 'You will judge therefore how much I am in your debt'. [MP A2933-2, p.28].

Holler If You Hear Me, Comic Edition
Gregory Michie, Ryan Alexander-Tanner
Series: Teaching for Social Justice Series
This graphic memoir of teaching in urban America is a brilliant reimagining of the classic text by Gregory Michie, Holler If You Hear Me: The Education of a Teacher and His Students. Michie is joined by illustrator Ryan Alexander-Tanner and 10 artists—most of them young people of color—to bring a fresh, vibrant energy to the original tale of struggle and hope in the classroom. First published in 1999, the text has become one of the most enduring teacher memoirs of our time. Using comics to tell the story, this edition weaves back and forth, like the original, between Michie's awakening as a young teacher and the first-person stories of his students. Set in 1990s Chicago, but startlingly relevant today, this powerful adaptation of a long-time educator favorite is sure to inspire a new generation of teachers, students, and anyone who is concerned about the future of public education.
A comics format that draws readers in and adds to the power of Michie's original text.
Each chapter is adapted and illustrated by a different artist, most of whom are young people of color.
A new introduction and afterword by Michie and Alexander-Tanner that contextualize this comic edition.
Students reflect on their experiences inside and outside of school.
Highlights critical, present-day issues in K–12 schools, such as culturally relevant curriculum, cross-cultural teaching, racial justice, and the social contexts of teaching.
Gregory Michie teaches 7th- and 8th-graders in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood. He is the author, most recently, of Same as It Never Was: Notes on a Teacher's Return to the Classroom. Ryan Alexander-Tanner is an art teacher, illustrator, and coauthor (with William Ayers) of To Teach: The Journey, in Comics.
"Individually and as a collection, these stories remind educators of their primary purpose: to fully see the young people they teach with and learn from each day. Interpreted and adapted by a group of incredible young artists, this new edition is a particular gift to those eager to see with young people, shifting our lens toward empathy and justice as we learn the value of seeing school through their eyes."
—Carla Shalaby, Coordinator of Social Justice Initiatives and Community Internships, University of Michigan School of Education
"What moved me when I first read Holler years ago as a new teacher, and moves me even more now with the new graphic novel, is Greg's willingness to keep listening to young people, to keep valuing their inherent brilliance, and to keep seeking ways to make his instruction respond directly to relevant issues. I cannot wait to share Holler If You Hear Me, Comic Edition."
—Kim Parker, cofounder of #DisruptTexts, and assistant director of the Teacher Training Center at the Shady Hill School in Cambridge, Massachusetts
"It is a great and marvelous thing to be reminded that to change the world we need only to change ourselves. Greg Michie and his students give me that hope."
—Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street

On one side of the debate on the history of the California missions are the state's educational curriculum, the state park system, countless chambers of commerce and tourist boards, the Catholic Church, and generations of Californians steeped in the imagery and mythos of the state's creation story.
On the other side of the debate is Elias Castillo.
Castillo, a three-time Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist, has written a new book called "A Cross of Thorns" (Craven Street Books) that presents the case that the establishment of the 21 missions along the California coast in the 18th century spearheaded by Franciscan priest Junipero Serra was nothing less than an act of enslavement and genocide against the indigenous people of California.
The book is being released just as the Catholic Church is poised to canonize Serra. Castillo said that the timing is coincidental, but his book does keep alive the controversy behind the sainthood of California's most famous religious figure.
Pope Francis, who will make official Serra's canonization during a September visit to the U.S., has called Serra "the evangelizer of the West in the United States." Some historians, such as Gregory Orfalea, the author of the Serra history "Journey to the Sun," say that Serra was a conscientious defender of California's Indian population, and that his virtues clearly outweigh his sins.
Castillo insists otherwise, painting a picture of the mission settlements as a vanguard of European religious and cultural imperialism that annihilated the Indians' own way of life, enslaving them and decimating their original population by up to 90 percent.
As the church's leader in the settlement of what was then called "Alta California" in the late 1700s, Serra, said Castillo, was more than a figurehead.
Drawing from archival government and church sources, and first-hand accounts of Serra himself, other friars and European visitors, "Cross of Thorns" documents various methods the church used to intimidate and control Indian subjects, from putting people in irons and stocks, to regular whippings and beatings.
The mission period lasted until the mid 1830s, when the newly independent government of Mexico decommissioned the missions, kicking off a brief period of liberal reforms that promised the Indians some control over their lives again. Then gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill and everything changed again for the remnants of California's native people.

Sea Surface Temperatures in the Northeast Continental Shelf Reach Highest Level in 150 Years
By Staff Reporter Apr 27, 2013 09:28 AM EDT
According to the NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem have drastically increased to the highest level in the last 150 years in 2012.
With rising temperatures, melting ice caps in the Arctic and record-setting melting rates of ice in the Antarctic Peninsula, NOAA's NEFSC has an addition to the list: the rising temperature at the sea surface of the Northeast Continental Shelf reached the highest level in more than a century, last year. According to the report, the sea surface temperature in the Northeast Shelf Ecosystem reached a record-setting 14 degree Celsius in 2012, which is the highest since 1951.
The measurements of the sea surface temperatures were done via both contemporary satellite remote-sensing data and ship board measurements dated since 1854. The data shows that the temperature has increased more than one degree Celsius only five times, and the SST in 2012 saw the highest increase.
Recently, a tendency of above-average temperatures have been observed during summer and spring seasons, and these high sea surface temperatures are the latest additions to this observation. It is also part of a pattern of elevated temperatures taking place in the Northwest Atlantic.
Increasing temperatures at the sea surface can cause damage to marine life and the distribution of species into different regions, which will heavily impact fisheries. As the effects of rising SST is concerned, black sea bass, summer founder, longfin squid and butterfish have already migrated to the north, while American lobsters are also moving north at a slow pace.
"Changes in ocean temperatures and the timing and strength of spring and fall plankton blooms could affect the biological clocks of many marine species, which spawn at specific times of the year based on environmental cues like water temperature," said Kevin Friedland, a scientist in the NEFSC Ecosystem Assessment Program, in an interview with Phys.org. "The size of the spring plankton bloom was so large that the annual chlorophyll concentration remained high in 2012 despite low fall activity. These changes will have a profound impact throughout the ecosystem."
The report shows that the rise in the SST is currently observed in the Northwest Atlantic and not in other ocean basins. Michael Fogarty, who heads the Ecosystem Assessment Program, said that these rising temperatures change the ecosystem, and eventually everyone must adapt to these changes.

Q: Is smartcontract the only way to transfer ether in Ethereum network? I am new to smartcontract and start writing some demo code in Solidity to work with Ropsten testing network. I see that I can use send/transfer method in the contract to transfer ether to other accounts. One question about it is that is contract the only way to transfer ether? Can I transfer ether without a contract?
I understand the concept of the contract but not sure whether it is a required thing in Ethereum. When I deploy a contract to the network, it will be sitting in a new block and all transactions generated from this contract are in the same block? Am I understand correctly?

A: You do not need a smart contract to sign or send a transaction. The transferring of ETH is built into the protocol. This can be accomplished by using libraries such as web3 or ethers if you're a developer. If you're not a developer, this can be accomplished by using tools such as Metamask.
Steps to send a transaction using ethers.js:

*

*Instantiate your provider and signer using ethers.providers. and Signer.

*Then sign a transaction using signer.signTransaction.

*Use provider to send the transaction using provider.sendTransaction.

SafeCoin Price Prediction: Will SAFE Grow or Fall?
SafeCoin (SAFE) is a decentralized cryptocurrency that aims to provide a secure and private means of digital transactions. It is built on the blockchain technology and uses a decentralized consensus mechanism to validate transactions. SAFE also utilizes advanced encryption and privacy features to enhance the security of its transactions.
The purpose of this article is to provide a prediction for the future price movement of SafeCoin (SAFE). By analyzing factors such as economic factors, regulatory environment, market sentiment, and industry developments, this article aims to provide insight into whether SAFE is likely to grow or fall in value over the short-term, medium-term, and long-term. The article is intended to help investors make informed decisions about whether or not to invest in SAFE.
SafeCoin (SAFE) technology and features
SafeCoin (SAFE) is built on the blockchain technology and uses a decentralized consensus mechanism to validate transactions. This means that there is no central authority controlling or verifying transactions, instead, it relies on a network of users to validate transactions.
One of the key features of SAFE is its use of advanced encryption and privacy features to enhance the security of its transactions. SAFE uses a combination of ring signatures and stealth addresses to protect the anonymity of its users and the privacy of their transactions.
In terms of comparison to other cryptocurrencies, SAFE is similar to other privacy-focused cryptocurrencies such as Monero and ZCash in that it uses advanced encryption and privacy features to protect the anonymity of its users. However, SAFE differentiates itself by also emphasizing on scalability and decentralization, which aims to ensure that the network remains functional and secure even as it grows in size.
In terms of scalability, SAFE has implemented a unique consensus mechanism called "Proof of Stake Velocity" (PoSV) which is a combination of Proof of Stake and Proof of Work algorithm, this mechanism allows to handle a large number of transactions with low fees and high speed.
Overall, SafeCoin (SAFE) aims to provide a secure and private means of digital transactions, with a focus on scalability and decentralization. Its technology and features make it a unique and promising option for privacy-conscious investors.
Factors That Influencing SAFE's Price
The price of SafeCoin (SAFE) is influenced by a variety of factors, including economic factors, regulatory environment, market sentiment, and industry developments.
Economic factors, such as supply and demand, play a significant role in determining the price of SAFE. The total supply of SAFE is capped at about 33.6 billion coins, and as demand for SAFE increases, the price is likely to rise. Conversely, if demand for SAFE decreases, the price is likely to fall.
Regulatory environment also can have an impact on the price of SAFE. Cryptocurrency regulations vary from country to country, and changes in regulations can affect the perceived risk and adoption of SAFE. For example, if a country were to ban the use of SAFE, it would likely lead to a decrease in demand and a drop in price.
Market sentiment and investor sentiment also play a role in determining the price of SAFE. Positive sentiment and positive news can lead to an increase in demand and a rise in price, while negative sentiment and negative news can lead to a decrease in demand and a fall in price.
Industry developments and partnerships can also influence the price of SAFE. For example, if SAFE were to form partnerships with major companies or organizations, it could lead to increased adoption and a rise in price. Additionally, developments in the blockchain industry such as new technologies or applications can also have an impact on the perceived value of SAFE.
It's worth noting that all of these factors are interrelated and can affect each other, so it's essential to consider them holistically when making predictions about the future price of SAFE. Additionally, the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and can change rapidly, so it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and news.
Predictions for SAFE's Future Price Movement
It's worth noting that making predictions about the future price movement of any cryptocurrency is a challenging task and can be influenced by a variety of factors. The future price of SAFE can be affected by events that are difficult to predict and can change rapidly. Therefore, any predictions made must be considered with caution.
In the short-term (next 1-3 months), the price of SAFE may be influenced by market sentiment and investor sentiment. Positive news and positive sentiment could lead to an increase in demand and a rise in price, while negative news and negative sentiment could lead to a decrease in demand and a fall in price.
In the medium-term (next 6-12 months), the price of SAFE may be influenced by adoption and partnerships. If SAFE is able to form partnerships with major companies or organizations, it could lead to increased adoption and a rise in price. Additionally, any developments in the blockchain industry, such as new technologies or applications that increase the perceived value of SAFE, could also have a positive effect on the price.
In the long-term (next 2-5 years), the price of SAFE may be influenced by regulatory environment, scalability and decentralization. If the regulatory environment becomes more favorable towards SAFE, it could lead to increased adoption and a rise in price. Additionally, if the technology of SAFE continues to improve and demonstrate its scalability and decentralization, it could also have a positive effect on the price.
SafeCoin (SAFE) Price Prediction 2023
According to some experts, SafeCoin (SAFE) has made significant strides in the cryptocurrency market this year. Predictions for SAFE's price in 2023 anticipate a steady growth in the latter half of the year, with potential to reach $0.130099.
While it's worth noting that the price of any cryptocurrency can be volatile and hard to predict, SAFE's forecast for 2023 suggests a gradual increase, without any significant drops expected. Some analysts believe that an average price of $0.121429 is achievable in the near future, driven by potential collaborations and advancements in the technology. With that being said, it's worth noting that there is also a minimum value of $0.104074 predicted for SAFE.
The SafeCoin (SAFE) price prediction for 2024 suggests significant growth potential. Experts anticipate that the potential announcement of new partnerships and initiatives could drive the price of SAFE to surpass $0.216824. However, it's important to keep in mind that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and subject to change. Therefore, it is suggested to wait and see if the SAFE's relative strength index (RSI) comes out of the oversold zone before making any bullish bets.
Given the market volatility, it's expected that SAFE will trade with a minimum price of $0.173465 and an average price of $0.190817. It's important to remember that these predictions are based on expert's analysis and their knowledge cut-off and there are several factors that could impact the cryptocurrency market, and the future of SAFE price. Therefore, it's essential to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and news before making any investment decisions.
Predictions for the future price of any cryptocurrency, including SafeCoin (SAFE), is a challenging task due to the highly volatile nature of the market. As such, any predictions made should not be taken as financial advice and it's important for individuals to conduct their own research (DYOR) before making any investment decisions.
In 2030, it's expected that cryptocurrency will have gained more widespread adoption across multiple sectors. Based on this, some analysts project that the maximum price of SAFE in 2030 could reach $0.849955 in the event of a bull market, with an average price level of $0.815262. However, it's important to keep in mind that these predictions are based on expert's analysis and their knowledge cut-off, the market is highly volatile and subject to change, and there are several factors that could impact the cryptocurrency market and the future of SAFE price. Therefore, it's essential to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and news before making any investment decisions.
Summary of analysis and predictions
In summary, the analysis of SafeCoin (SAFE) suggests that it is a promising cryptocurrency with a unique combination of advanced encryption and privacy features, scalability, and decentralization. Factors such as economic factors, regulatory environment, market sentiment, and industry developments were considered to provide predictions for SAFE's future price movement.
In the short-term, it is expected that the price of SAFE may be influenced by market sentiment and investor sentiment. In the medium-term, the price of SAFE may be influenced by adoption and partnerships. In the long-term, the price of SAFE may be influenced by regulatory environment, scalability and decentralization. However, it's important to keep in mind that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and subject to change, so predictions are not guaranteed and should be considered with caution.
In terms of final thoughts and recommendations for investors, it's important to remember that investing in cryptocurrency, including SAFE, is a high-risk investment and should be approached with caution. Before making any investment decisions, it's important to conduct thorough research and consider your own risk tolerance and investment goals. Additionally, it's essential to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and news in the cryptocurrency market to make informed decisions. It's also a good idea to diversify your investments, not to put all your eggs in one basket, and to consult a financial advisor if you are not sure about your investment decisions.

Railcard Renewal
My Senior Railcard recently expired. I might have anticipated a reminder to renew, but there wasn't one. There's not a lot of point in renewing until I intend to go somewhere by rail. if relevant, which it probably isn't, I usually pay by Tesco Clubcard points. Are they not bothering with...

Something of a "Does anyone know" question. If I login to the site https://secure.railcard.co.uk, it tells me that my railcard is "Ordered". I fact I ordered it around a couple of weeks ago to judge from its expiry date. Does that mean that they haven't been able to send it yet? I'm aware that...

Kenya might have to fork out $132.6 million to compensate a Lebanese tycoon after President Kenyatta froze payments to his company
President Uhuru Kenyatta
Abdallah Zakhem, through his construction firm, Zakhem International Construction, is suing Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC).
Mr. Zakhem,is seeking prompt payment of $128.8 million that he says is owed for the construction of the 450-kilometre pipeline.
State House claims that the cost of building the 450-kilometre pipeline has been inflated way above the agreed Sh48 billion ($480 million).
Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) is facing a suit of Sh13.26 billion by a Lebanese tycoon over construction of the Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline.
Abdallah Zakhem, through his construction firm, Zakhem International Construction, is suing the state agency after State House froze payment to his construction firm over cost escalation during the building of the pipeline.
Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC)
Mr. Zakhem, who has filed the suit at the High Court, is seeking prompt payment of $128.8 million that he says is owed for the construction of the 450-kilometre pipeline.
"The plaintiff prays for judgment against the defendant for a declaration that the plaintiff is entitled to prompt payment of the sum of $126,255. 812 due and outstanding under the agreement," Zakhem said in court documents.
The firm is demanding $67 million (Sh6.9 billion) for unpaid works, $59.2 million (Sh6 billion) for delays and $2.6 million (Sh267 million) as interest for delayed payment, pushing the total claim to $128.8 million (Sh13.26 billion).
"The defendant's wilful refusal to pay the sum owing and due to it is high-handed and capricious. No reason was given for the refusal and none exists in law."
A file photo of State House Nairobi, the official residence of the Kenyan President
State House on its hand allegedly blocked KPC from making further payments to Zakhem amid claims that the cost of building the pipeline had been inflated way above the agreed Sh48 billion ($480 million).
In July this year, Petroleum Cabinet Secretary John Munyes told the Public Investments Committee (PIC) that the Presidency had stopped payment to Zakhem pending an independent review of the pipeline construction costs.
Petroleum and Mining Cabinet Secretary John Munyes
The order from State House came as KPC was preparing to pay Zakhem Sh4.4 billion ($44 million) to cover the four years' delay of the project. KPC had already paid the Lebanese firm Sh48.7 billion ($487 million).
Zakhem International Construction won the contract to build the 20-inch pipeline in 2014. It promised to complete the work in 18 months, or on February 9, at a cost of Sh48 billion.
That target was, however, not achieved with Zakhem instead demanding additional billions for the contract delays, triggering a parliamentary investigation and intervention by State House.

Already bristling with pride, London's Old South has something new to brag about.
Old South's Wortley Village made a clean sweep in the Great Places in Canada competition, taking home the grand prize for best neighbourhood, and the voting-based people's-choice award in the same category.
The yearly competition, sponsored by the Canadian Institute of Planners, recognizes the country's best streets, public places and neighbourhoods.
Though the competition was fierce, the judges were impressed by Wortley Village's diverse mix of housing, walkability, bike-friendly roads, tree-lined streets, thriving local businesses and strong sense of community.
"It has a true identity. When you think of great neighbourhoods, you think of physical spaces as well as the people," said judge John Fleming, a member of the Canadian Institute of Planners, who's also London's planning director.
Wortley Village beat out communities such as St. Jacobs, near Waterloo, and Cookstown, outside Toronto.
"I think it's a great honour," Coun. Denise Brown, whose Ward 11 includes Old South, said of the double win.
Community involvement makes the area a great place to live, said Brown, who gets as many as 75 e-mails a day from Old South constituents.
Sixty-eight neighbourhoods, streets and public spaces were nominated, with more than 100,000 votes cast during the four-month process.

Lazio not enjoying themselves anymore, Immobile laments
in Sporting Sun, Sports
(Reuters/NAN)
Second-placed Lazio have struggled since the restart of the Serie A season and are not enjoying themselves at the moment, their leading goalscorer Ciro Immobile said on Tuesday.
"Since we returned to play, we have suffered mentally, rather than physically. It was obviously never going to be the same.
"I feel there is some anxiety because we can't do the things we were doing three months ago,'' Immobile said after they lost 2-1 at lowly Lecce.
"This takes away our serenity. We can no longer have fun because physically we don't get (to) where we want to go," he added.
They remained seven points adrift of Juventus who also shockingly threw away a two-goal lead at AC Milan to lose 2-4.
Lazio were on a 21-match unbeaten league run when Serie A was suspended by the novel coronavirus pandemic in March and were one point behind leaders Juventus.
But Tuesday's defeat was their third in five games since last month's restart.
The team have suffered injuries to several key players, exposing the squad's lack of strength in depth.
"This shouldn't take anything away from the extraordinary season we've had.
"The title dream will remain there until the mathematics say otherwise. But it must not be an obsession.
"We have to be calm, and that's not the case at the moment," added Immobile, Serie A's leading goalscorer with 29 goals.
Coach Simone Inzaghi said Lazio were concentrating on finishing in the top four to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, rather than ending Juve's run of eight successive titles.
"The problem is we came back with problems and injuries. This has limited how much we can rotate the squad and some today (Tuesday) have played not at their best," he said.
"It's natural to feel disappointed when you remember what we were doing before the break. "A few of the absentees would have helped us a lot.
"Our dream must continue and we have to qualify mathematically for the UEFA Champions League, and we hope to do that as soon as possible," he added.
