With Rooney also likely to be in England's Euro 2012 squad, Ferguson called the situation 'ridiculous', the BBC said.
"It is utter chaos," he said. "There are so many complications."
However, an FA statement said: "Any player who travels to Euro 2012 with England will not be considered for the Olympic team."
Ferguson outlined his concerns with as many as 12 of his players - including Rooney - believed to be on Team GB manager Stuart Pearce's provisional list of 80 players.
Phil Jones, Danny Welbeck, Chris Smalling and Tom Cleverley are candidates for both the Olympics and Euro 2012 squads, meaning if they do not make the European championship squad, Pearce may want them at the Olympics.
"I have no idea how badly other clubs are affected but I would imagine Tottenham will have a few, like Gareth Bale," Ferguson had said.
But the Football Association released the statement on Sunday in an attempt to clarify the situation. It said those players selected in the Euro 2012 squad would then be removed from the Olympics shortlist.
Fifteen of the 16 teams who will contest the Olympic tournament are already known, with Oman and Senegal competing in the final qualifier in Coventry on Monday evening.


A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed of 19.8 m/s at an upward angle of 45°. A player 55 m away in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at that instant. What must be his average speed if he is to catch the ball just before it hits the ground?
I came out with 11.19 but it says its wrong??
First of all how far away does the ball land? That determines how far Cristiano Ronaldo has to run.
Then you need to determine how long the ball is in the air.
So what did you get for those?
heres my explanation anyways, it says its at 19.8 m/s at that angle, therefore the x and y components of velocity respectively will be 19.8cos45 and 19.8sin45. for the y compenent of this solve for the time the ball is in the air. that is use vf = vi +aT. therefore the time is the amount of time it is in the air, using this time and the x component of the velocity, solve for how far it goes.
now u have the x distance the ball travels. with both that distance and how far away the person is, u can solve the velocity at which the person must run to meet with the ball to catch it.
Not even Theo Wolcott runs that fast.
I solved for the y component and that came out to 14 m/s. I don't understand what to do with the information though. How do I solve for time using just the y component?
okay, you have 14 m/s for the y component, just imagine shooting a ball straight into the air, perpendicular with the ground, wtih 14 m/s. now, u have 14 as Vi (velocity initial) and acceleration (gravity). What equation can you use to solve for T?
once you get T, u can then multiply it by 2 to get the total time the ball is in the air.
once u have time, use your x component of velocity to solve for how far the ball travels before it touches the ground. then you can solve for how far the guy has to run to meet the ball, with that distance u have time.
So how long is the ball in the air?

Parliamentary Groups Announce Priorities for 44th National Assembly
Domestic | April 19, 2017, Wednesday // 12:10| views
The political forces represented in the 44th National Assembly have announced their priorities, BNR reported.
GERB Deputy Chairman Tsvetan Tsvetanov said the party had entered the 44th National Assembly planning to carry out a full 4 – year term and woud seek not only political but also social consensus over the priorities of the country. Key priorities of GERB are continuing reform of the judicial system, providing quality education and healthcare and the achievement of economic prosperity.
BSP leader Kornelia Ninova pointed out that as the second largest political group in parliament, the coalition of BSP for Bulgaria would act as an opposition and a political alternative to GERB. As key priorities for the Socialists Ninova highlighted Bulgaria's national security and efforts to create a strong European Union.
The Vice Chairman of the United Patriots Coalition Valeri Simeonov said that as a coalition partner of GERB the Patriots would continue their policy of convergence of the minimum pension with the officially recognized poverty line, of revival of the Bulgarian economy, limiting licensing arrangements and continuation of reforms in the sector of energy.
The Patriots will work to prevent refugees and immigrants from entering the territory of Bulgaria. This will be coupled with efforts for immediate deportation of illegal migrants and for providing police presence in every village.
The leader of the predominantly ethnic Turkish DPS Mustafa Karadayi declared that the Movement for Rights and Freedoms would not support any presence of extreme nationalism in the government and called for a model of governance that would guarantee Bulgaria's security, stability and dignified place in the Euro-Atlantic structures.
The leader of the party Volya (''Will'') Veselin Mareshki called on forming a stable government to work more efficiently than all governments so far.
"We must build a stable government which could work more effectively than the previous ones. The final aim is to make the country more efficient'', said the leader of Bulgaria's Volya Party Veselin Mareshki, announced BGNES.
He also added that "we are going to build the fencing at the border, to freeze the parlamentary's salaries before cutting them. But what is the point of those theatre, if nothing good is happening for the bulgarian people and country."
Mareshki appealed to his colleagues for more morality so as to bring the dignity of Bulgarian's government and members of parliament back.

Dying for a drink: Construction workers pay the price for Kweichow Moutai's success
By Jennifer Cheung
Kweichow Moutai is one of the best known and most successful luxury brands in China. It has seen spectacular growth over the last decade and has built numerous new plants and facilities around its main distillery near Zunyi in order to keep up with demand.
But in its rush to expand, Kweichow Moutai has failed to protect the health of the workers who built those new facilities. Hundreds of workers employed on the company's construction sites have contracted the deadly lung disease pneumoconiosis and dozens have already died, according those familiar with the case.
Moreover, many of the ill and dying have not received any compensation because they did not have work-related injury insurance and their employer refused to accept liability or simply could not be found.
Yang Nengfen is a 34-year-old mother of two. She first went to work as a driller at the company's construction site with her husband in the late 1990s. The drilling work created vast clouds of mineral dust but no protective measures were taken by the workers or the employer.
"No one was aware of the disease at that time," explained Yang's brother, who also worked at the construction site with his sister but luckily didn't work there long enough to contract the disease.
It was only in 2008, when Yang's husband started to cough heavily and had difficulty breathing, that they went to a local hospital for a check-up. He was diagnosed with terminal-stage pneumoconiosis and died in 2010, the same year that Yang was also diagnosed with late stage pneumoconiosis.
Following her husband's death, Yang had to raise two school-age sons basically on her own, supported only by her elderly mother. When she was hospitalized because of pneumoconiosis, one of her sons dropped out of school in order to take care of her.
Most victims have been unable to get any compensation for their medical bills because of the informal and multi-layered system of hiring workers in the construction industry in China.
"We did odd construction work when we were not busy with farming and we were recruited by foreman," said Yang's brother. "We didn't have employment contracts, and when my sister was diagnosed with pneumoconiosis, we didn't know who should pay the bill."
In addition, many of the foremen who were responsible for recruiting farmers to work on the Kweichow Moutai construction sites have also contracted pneumoconiosis. They are now in the impossible situation of having to pay their own bills while their fellow workers suffer.
Li Mingwei started recruiting rural labourers to work at a Kweichow Moutai construction site in 2007. He did piling work and was constantly exposed to dust. He was diagnosed with pneumoconiosis in 2012.
"When I got this project from the contractor, he didn't mention anything to me about the risk of contracting pneumoconiosis," the 39-year-old foreman said. "We were unaware of the potential hazards at that time, and didn't wear any kind of anti-dust masks. Then in 2010, I started to feel tightness in my chest and had difficulty breathing. Now my medical bill is 7,000 yuan per month."
Although more and more workers in the region are being diagnosed with or show symptoms of pneumoconiosis, the local authorities are doing little to help.
After Yang Nengfen's case was reported on national television last year, the local authorities announced a province-wide campaign to improve prevention measures in the construction industry. And in April this year, the mayor of Zunyi inspected the Kweichow Moutai construction sites and reportedly spoke highly of the design and environmental protection measures in place.
However, according to those working with pneumoconiosis victims in the region, conditions have not improved significantly despite the increased inspections. The local authorities in Zunyi and officials at Kweichow Moutai both did not respond to CLB's inquiries.
Labour rights lawyers are now working with those labourers who were diagnosed with pneumoconiosis after working at the company's construction sites. Although Kweichow Moutai is not the workers' direct employer, the lawyers said they are confident that the company can be held accountable.
China Labour Bulletin Director Han Dongfang pointed out that:
These workers got sick building Kweichow Moutai's factories. As a leading Chinese company and a major international brand, it should not hide from its responsibility under the law to both protect workers from occupational disease and to compensate those who get pneumoconiosis.
In CLB's research report Time to Pay the Bill: China's obligation to the victims of pneumoconiosis, we argue further that while employers do have a clear responsibility to protect the health of their employees, the Chinese state has the ultimate responsibility to make sure all the estimated six million victims of this terrible disease receive the medical help and economic compensation they are entitled to.

This was Phish's 1st show at this former Dixieland nightclub opened as The Bayou in 1965 with a capacity of 400. It was an 18-and-over show. Carolina and You Enjoy Myself were basically "live soundcheck" songs replete with level adjustments. After You Enjoy Myself, Fish apologized for the audio adjustments saying once they got the mix together, "we promise to kill ya." Trey introduced Fish as Phil Collins during I Didn't Know. During Take The 'A' Train, the band teased The Flintstones Theme and the Popeye Theme. For the 1st time in Phish history, before Lawn Boy, Trey introduced lyricist Tom Marshall referring to him as the fifth member of the band. Fish cried audibly during the "woke up one morning and realized i love you" lyrics of Contact. A band called Exit Only opened.


Why does accountability matter? Accountability is directly linked to increased morale, work satisfaction, creativity, and innovation. Accountability is both internally and externally motivated. What does it mean to hold yourself accountable? What does it mean to hold someone else accountable?
If you want to be part of an environment where everyone takes ownership for their results, regardless of role, you must create a culture of accountability. This interactive workshop helps you create that culture and inspire your team's commitment.

On June 3, 2014, at the ostensible recommendation of the Southern Poverty Law Center  the U.S. Department of Justice announced it will revive the Domestic Terrorism Executive Committee (DTEC), originally founded after the 1995 Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building bombing.
"We must concern ourselves wth the continued danger we face from individuals within our own borders who may be motivated by a variety of other causes from anti-government animus to racial prejudice," Attorney General Eric Holder remarked.
Days after the SPLC's calls for the reconstitution of the DTEC, something uncanny takes place: militant anti-government conspiracy theorists shoot two cops in a pizzeria and barricade themselves in a nearby Wal Mart. SPLC spokespersons then took to the media with a sort of « I told you so » bravado.
The overt politicization of the event, largely framed in dubious SPLC « research » on organizations it designates as « hate groups, » proceeds in now-predictable fashion. Jerad Miller « was clearly part of the Patriot movement, » the Southern Poverty Law Center's Mark Potok explains on Democracy Now!
The one thing he really talked about a lot was guns. And that of course is central concern for the Patriot movement. At one point, he talked about, if you even disagree that the Second Amendment should be interpreted in such a way in a very liberal way in terms of an ownership, that you should be hung from a lamppost if you don't leave the country. So that seemed to be really the central idea.
The US government, major media, and propaganda organs like the SPLC operate with the smug assuredness that an overwhelming majority of the public will accept the veracity of public events provided, 1) the information is relayed by official figures in measured tones and appropriate attire, 2) such information is presented with pleasing and predictable visual cues, and 3) the information is accompanied by editorial inference as to how exactly one is to interpret it.
History suggests that we've been here before–in fact almost twenty years ago as Congress sought to pass largely unpopular anti-terrorism legislation.
The official story concerning 1995 Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building bombing that most people will recite as catechism is that Timothy McVeigh had become increasingly "radicalized" with anti-government views. Such perspectives led him to plot with a small group of conspirators to bomb the Murrah building.
the mainstream media, with information manly supplied by the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith, and the Southern Poverty Law center, focused their anti-militia spotlights. Attacks on the Patriot/Militia movement continued for months, even without documentable proof of the suspects' connections to the militias, or the militias' connection to the bombing.
The fear and paranoia surrounding the specter of "homegrown terrorism" continued until September 11, 2001, when the military-industrial-intelligence complex modified its terror card to focus public attention on swarthy, gun-toting Muslims.
To this day such propaganda obscuring the real story on Oklahoma City has gone almost consistently unchallenged by journalists and academics alike. The facts are often stranger than fiction, yet the absence of an accurate recounting outside of a handful of important efforts perpetuates control over the public mind and its collective memory. Moreover, the failure to come to terms with history begets continued disinformation, historical contrivance, and the aggressively expanding police state they serve.
This acute politicization of an event will also likely be the case with the Las Vegas shooting, where the public knows little more than what it has been told by major media. That message and recollection is no doubt being crucially shaped by SPLC propaganda.
As with most every mass shooting event—Aurora, Sandy Hook, and the violent and bizarre spate of occurrences throughout early June 2014—the only way the media and public develop an understanding of what has taken place in each instance is through press releases and conferences by local law enforcement, often under the aegis of federal officials.
On June 10 this author contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and asked if a copy of the incident report will be made available to the press and public. Yet, as with the May 23 Isla Vista shooting, he was told that no such document would be released.
At home and abroad, history is allowed to repeat itself to the detriment of the overwhelming majority when government is not held to account for its polices and actions. This situation is set in stone when special interests are allowed to politicize such events and accordingly mold public sentiment to their narrow agenda. If there is no verifiable record of what has taken place in this and similar events, then public opinion and the history upon which it is based are the stuff of soundbites and press conferences; indeed, overall manipulable elements of political elites and the propaganda techniques they wield.

Blaze the Cat (ブレイズ・ザ・キャット/ Bureizu za Kyatto) fiktivna je čovjekolika mačka iz Seginog serijala Sonic the Hedgehog. Princeza je iz alternativne dimenzije u kojoj je regent vlastita svijeta i zaštitnica smaragda Sol, inačice Smaragda kaosa iz tog svijeta. Zbog toga je Blazeina uloga slična Sonicovoj i Knucklesovoj. Kao što joj ime kaže, Blaze se rodila s pirokinetičkim moćima koje joj dopuštaju kontrolirati i stvarati vatru. Koristeći moć smaragda Sol Blaze postaje Burning Blaze, nalik Super Sonicu. U formi Burning Blaze postaje snažnija, može letjeti i prekriva je vatreni štit.

Blaze je često elegantna i smirena, no zbog njezine ozbiljnosti nikad nije bila društvena ili prijateljski nastrojena. Iskrena je o tome da ne voli pomoć, ali njena narav promijenila se kad je upoznala Sonica i Cream.

Nastanak
Blaze je dizajnirana kao lik koji bi bio sličan Sonicu, ali u isto vrijeme bio i njegova alternativna inačica. U starom konceptu, koji je bio vrlo sličan njezinom sadašnjem dizajnu, oči su joj bile više okrugle i repić joj je stršio prema naprijed, a trebala je nositi i odjeću sličnu arapskoj.

U staroj proračunskoj tablici likova igrice Sonic the Hedgehog (2006.) navodi se da Blaze nosi plašt kako bi prekrila svoj plamen zbog kojeg su je zadirkivali. Međutim, u igricama se nikad nije pojavila s plaštom, nego samo nosi ljubičasto odijelo.  Ipak, na jednoj slici u galeriji koncepcijskih ilustracija u inačici videoigre Sonic Generations na Nintendo 3DS-u Blaze nosi ružičasti plašt.

Bivši član Sege na mrežnom je mjestu Sonic Wrecks postavio koncepcijske ilustracije Blaze koje su, prema njegovim riječima, oblikovane 2005. u PowerPointu. Dizajn joj je bio sličan Shadowu, ali moguće je da je to bila samo Blazeina silueta.

Fizički izgled
Blaze ima svijetloljubičasto krzno, žutozelene uši, crveni rubin na glavi, repić i valovitu kosu koja strši nazad, oči s crnim trepavicama i zlatnim zjenicama, tamnobijelu njušku i mali crni nos. Blazein je rep šiljast i ljubičast na kraju, no većinom je bijel i svijetloljubičast. Blaze nosi bijele rukavice s debelim dlakavim rukavima, ljubičastu majicu s magenta prugama, zlatnu ogrlicu i bijele hlače uz svijetloroze cipele s bijelom prugom koje su na dnu sive i imaju dugu petu.

U igricama kao što je Sonic Riders Blaze nosi tanko ljubičasto odijelo s roza cipelama koje imaju bijelu prugu. Odijelo joj tad na koljenima, grudima i laktovima ima žute pruge.

Opis

Blaze je opisana kao često plemenita, smirena, svečana i razumna, no zna i skrivati svoje prave osjećaje. Blazeina elegantnost vidljiva je u stilu na koji napada i kreće se. Blaze se vrti i skače kao balerina, kreće se delikatno i miče se nježno. Kao član kraljevske obitelji Blaze je tiha, otmjena i ozbiljna. Nepristrana je i ne voli se šaliti. Nije hiperaktivna i entuzijastična kao većina ostalih likova.

Iako zna skrivati svoje osjećaje, Blaze je izrazito osjetljiva. Kad izgubi strpljenje može postati agresivna, ispustiti svu svoju vatru i donositi loše odluke. Kao princeza vrlo je sumnjičava prema svima, a u susretima s neprijateljima nikad se ne suzdržava i pokazuje svoje prave emocije.

U početku je mrzila svoje pirokinetičke moći jer se bojala da je presnažna i smatrala se drugačijom od ostalih. Međutim, prilagodila se i sad ih koristi bilo kad, bilo gdje, kako bi napala ili kako bi pomogla prijateljima. Primjer je videoigra Sonic Generations, u kojoj Sonicu pomogne srušiti vatrene zidove.

U početku je Blaze bila samostalna i povučena, ali pri upoznavanju Sonica i Cream naučila se bolje ponašati prema onima koje poznaje i Cream joj je postala prva prijateljica. Danas se ne voli uzdati u druge likove, ali im je zahvalna na pomoći; kad joj prijatelji trebaju pomoć, pridružit će im se i pomoći im. Takvo je ponašanje pokazala u stripovima IDW Publishinga – ondje se priključila ratu protiv Eggmanovih robota, a Silveru je pomogla s vrtom.

Odnosi s drugim likovima

Cream the Rabbit
Blaze je u početku putovala sama, ali ju je iznenadila Cream. Blaze se nije htjela družiti s njom, ali ju je Cream pozvala u kuću kod njezine majke Vanille. Blaze je mislila da se Cream ponaša prebrižno prema strancu, ali je pristala kad joj je Cream htjela pokazati svoj grad. Blaze se samo usredotočila na pronalaženje smaragda Sol, ali je osjećala da postaju prijateljice. Blaze se zabrinula za Cream kad ju je oteo robot i prestravljeno ju je tražila. Od Sonic Rusha bliske su i vole se družiti.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Dok je Blaze putovala svi su joj govorili da bi joj mogao pomoći Sonic, ali Blaze nije htjela njegovu pomoć jer je smatrala da sve može sama. Nakon što joj je previše likova reklo da zatraži Sonicovu pomoć, obratila mu se i sprijateljili su se. Blaze i Sonic potom su zajedno išli u pustolovine.

Knuckles the Echidna
Knuckles i Blaze nisu u početku bili prijatelji. Upoznali su se kad ga je Cream pozdravila uz Blaze. Kad je Knuckles vidio Blazein smaragd Sol mislio je da je Smaragd kaosa i pokušao joj ga je oteti, a kad mu je Blaze rekla da nije u pitanju Smaragd kaosa, Knuckles ju je nazvao lažljivicom i napao, što je na koncu dovelo do toga da ga je Blaze izmlatila i onesvjestila. Do kraja igrice Cream je uvjerila Blaze da je Knuckles dobar.

Amy Rose
Blaze i Amy bliske su u serijalu Mario & Sonic. Prvo su se upoznale u Sonic Rushu; Amy joj nije bila naklonjena jer je mislila da Blaze voli Sonica, a htjela je Sonica za sebe. Nakon što joj je Blaze rekla da ju za Sonica nije briga, Amy je počela misliti pozitivno o njoj. U serijalu Mario & Sonic drže se za ruke, grle se, druže se i međusobno se natječu.

Silver the Hedgehog
Silver je Blazein najbolji prijatelj iz budućnosti s kojim ima "bratski odnos". Zajedno se bore protiv Iblisa i na kraju Silverove priče u igrici Sonic the Hedgehog (2006.) Blaze se žrtvuje kako bi spasila Silverov svijet. Nakon Solariseva gubitka događaji igre izbrisani su i zato se Blaze i Silver nikad ne upoznaju. U inačici videoigre Sonic Colors na DS-u Blaze i Silver upoznaju se prvi put nakon resetiranja vremenske linije. U Sonic Generationsu (na inačici za konzole i PC) Blaze i Silver razgovaraju. U serijalu Mario & Sonic izazivaju jedno drugog na izazove, zajedno se natječu i dobiju posebnu zlatnu medalju ako zajedno igraju u timskom događaju. U Team Sonic Racing su u timu s Vectorom.

Miles "Tails" Prower
Kao što je bio slučaj i s većinom ostalih likova, Tails i Blaze upoznali su se u Sonic Rushu kad je Tails sa Sonicom tražio Blaze. Tails joj je rekao da joj Sonic može pomoći na putu. Blaze je bila zahvalna, ali je inzistirala na tome da sama dovrši svoj put. Blaze uz to smatra Tailsa pametnim i koristim za izrađivanje sprava.

Marine the Raccoon
Marine i Blaze vidjele su jedna drugu samo u Sonic Rush Adventureu. Blaze prije nije voljela Marine, ali zato što se družila sa Sonicom i Tailsom Blaze joj je postala bliska, pogotovo jer su joj Sonic i Tails dobri prijatelji. Marine je bila vrlo tužna kad su je Sonic i Tails morali napustiti, ali ju je Blaze smirila i rekla da će se jednog dana ponovno vidjeti. Marine se spominje u Sonic Colorsu na DS-u, u kojoj se tvrdi da se "ponaša tipično" (neoprezno i uzbuđeno).

Doktor Eggman Nega
Doktor Eggman Nega, inačica pravog Eggmana iz Blazeina svijeta, Blazein je glavni neprijatelj. Brani smaragde Sol od njega i jedno drugome pokušavaju prekinuti planove, što je nalik odnosu Sonica, Tailsa i Eggmana.

Captain Whisker
Blaze nije draga prema Captainu Whiskeru jer joj je ukrao draguljasto žezlo. Kad ga pronađe, ne ponaša se ozbiljno prema njemu, kao i prema ostalim neprijateljima.

Dr. Eggman
Baš kao Sonic, Blaze ne voli Eggmana i mrzi ideju "Eggmanlanda".

Kritike
Blaze je vrlo popularan lik među Sonicovim obožavateljima. IGN je izjavio da "zaslužuje svoje mjesto u timu" vidjevši ju u najavi za STH (2006.). Način na koji se njome upravlja u videoigri nazvan je "brzim i zabavnim", ali je kritiziran zbog sličnosti Sonicu. Blaze je opisana i "lijepim dodatkom postavi likova Sonica" i "jednim od zanimljivijih likova". GameSpot je zadivila njezina "vatrena opskrba". Nintendov tim IGN-a videoigru Sonic Rush stavio je na sedamnaesto mjesto popisa "Top 25 igara za Nintendo DS"; izjavio je: "ništa nije posebno u dodavanju novog lika u franšizu Sonic, osim što Blaze nije grozna". Blaze je favorit mnogim obožavateljima i postala je poznata u obožavateljskim ilustracijama likova. No, neki su te umjetnike kritizirali zbog seksualiziranja Blaze jer je maloljetna.

American Rescue Plan Act's Education Funds Can Address Inequity in West Virginia's Public Schools
It is no question that students in West Virginia and across the country suffered academic losses in connection to COVID-19's impacts on instruction and learning time. Our new issue brief explores how American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) education funds can be utilized to address these losses, as well as longstanding challenges and racial inequity in West Virginia schools.
ARPA includes $123 billion in new, flexible funding known as the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund for school districts to spend over the next three and a half school years — the largest ever one-time federal investment in K-12 education. West Virginia schools will receive $761.9 million to ensure that they can reopen safely and meet students' educational needs.
The majority of these funds will go to local school boards that will make critical decisions on how to use the money; however, the local decision-making bodies must receive public input from educators and parents on their proposed plans.
Our issue brief explores the persistent hardships and racial disparities present in West Virginia's schools, how the pandemic likely exacerbated these challenges, and how ARPA education funds can be utilized to advance equity in the Mountain State's education system.
The brief recommends that ARPA education funds be used to further equity through:
– Prioritizing Public Input;
– Addressing Root Causes of Disparities;
– Increasing Student Support Staff;
– Improving Educational Achievement by Addressing Systemic Racism;
– Expanding Summer Programs and Extended Day Options;
– Engaging in Local Collaboration to Provide Wraparound Services; and
– Supporting Students' Home Lives
It is essential that school boards actively seek out the input of families whose children have suffered disproportionately large impacts of learning loss from the pandemic. Without this insight, school officials will miss critical input that could result in marginalized students falling further behind.

Data Already Showing Positive Impacts of Child Tax Credit, Though More can be Done to Ensure Benefit Reaches All Children
Recent data from the United States Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey shows a significant decrease in food insufficiency immediately after households received the first advanced payment of the newly expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC), with the largest decline in hunger being among households with children.
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) made three significant, but temporary changes to the CTC, providing a crucial boost in household incomes to our country's most vulnerable families. If all West Virginia children who are eligible are able to access the CTC, 346,000 children will benefit statewide, including 50,000 who would be lifted above or closer to the federal poverty line.
West Virginia state and local governments should consider conducting outreach to ensure that those who qualify for the expanded CTC, as well as other family supports under the ARPA, are aware of these programs and are able to successfully file to receive the benefits they are eligible for. Education and outreach campaigns could involve hiring "benefit navigators" to help families apply for expanded CTCs, Earned Income Tax Credits, SNAP benefits, Medicaid, rental assistance, and other public programs designed to address the impacts of the pandemic.
Without further action from Congress, the groundbreaking economic security impacts of the expanded CTC will expire at the end of 2021. Fortunately, Congress is expected to consider a multi-year extension of these benefits as part of the "Build Back Better" recovery package, which would also include additional family and worker supports.

Ending Enhanced Unemployment Benefits Failed to Increase Employment and Instead Increased Hardship in West Virginia
In June, Gov. Justice prematurely ended all federally funded pandemic unemployment benefit programs. The governor justified his decision to end the enhanced benefits by claiming that doing so would encourage people to return to work. But two months later, the data shows otherwise. A recent article, including insight from WVCBP senior policy analyst Sean O'Leary, dives into the numbers. Excerpt below:
Gov. Jim Justice's decision to cut off federal enhanced unemployment benefits 12 weeks early did not improve state employment rates or reduce unemployment rolls, but coincided with a sharp spike in West Virginia households experiencing financial hardships, an analysis released Thursday shows.
"With the pandemic still ongoing and the economy still recovering, West Virginia chose to prematurely end these benefits based on a fictitious and discredited narrative of lazy workers abusing pandemic unemployment benefits to avoid returning to work. And in doing so, West Virginia not only failed to boost employment, but also needlessly harmed struggling workers and undermined our economic recovery," the report from the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy concluded.
According to the analysis by Sean O'Leary, senior analyst for the Center on Budget and Policy, state employment figures have actually declined slightly since Justice cut off the benefits, with employed West Virginians dropping from 53.3% of the population to 52.3%.
Likewise, he found that state unemployment claims were dropping by an average of 608 claims a week prior to the June 19 cutoff, but have declined to an average of 483 fewer unemployment claims a week since the cutoff.
Meanwhile, according to the Census Household Pulse Survey, the number of adults in West Virginia who had reported difficulty in paying weekly household expenses jumped sharply after the cutoff, going from 24.6% of adults for the week of June 7 to 33.8% of adults for the week of Aug. 2.

Urge West Virginia's US Senators to Support the Build Back Better Recovery Package
Earlier this year, our federal policymakers sent money to families so people can pay their rent and put food on the table, helped school districts protect teachers' health and get kids back into the classroom, and boosted vaccine distribution—all of which will help accelerate our economy and address the immediate health and economic impacts of the pandemic.
Congress acted because we raised our voices together and demanded help. With short-term relief on the way, now Senator Manchin and Senator Capito need to look to our future and pass economic recovery legislation that ensures everyone can thrive, no matter what we look like or where we come from.
Our elected officials are drafting recovery legislation now, so it's time to make yourself heard again. Tell them you want our government to support working families and invest in our economic recovery by making health care coverage more available and affordable, permanently expanding relief for struggling people, and ensuring children get the support they need to succeed.
Please join us in urging Senators Manchin and Capito to support the Build Back Better recovery agenda by sending them a letter here.
Child Tax Credit Survey for Parents
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) authorized significant but temporary changes to the Child Tax Credit. Last month, eligible families received the first of their monthly enhanced credits. Research is already showing that the enhanced CTCs are helping to reduce food insecurity and financial hardship among households across the country, particularly among households with children.
Here are the four changes included in the ARPA that might help you with the financial burden of raising a family:
1. The credit amount has been increased. The ARPA increased the amount of the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $3,600 for children under age 6, and $3,000 for other children under age 18.
2. The credit's scope has been expanded. Children 17 years old and younger, as opposed to 16 years old and younger, will now be covered by the Child Tax Credit.
3. Credit amounts will be made through advance payments during 2021. Individuals eligible for a 2021 Child Tax Credit will receive advance payments of the individual's credit, which the IRS and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service will make through periodic payments from July 1 to December 31, 2021. This change will allow struggling families to receive financial assistance now, rather than waiting until the 2022 tax filing season to receive the Child Tax Credit benefit.
4. The credit is now fully refundable. By making the Child Tax Credit fully refundable, low- income households will be entitled to receive the full credit benefit, as significantly expanded and increased by the ARPA.
If you are a recipient of the Child Tax Credit, we'd love to hear how your family is being impacted to help us in our advocacy to make this credit expansion permanent. Please let us know by taking our survey here.


Is rice seeding rate really that critical?
PORTAGEVILLE, Mo. — Unlike many other crops grown in the Mid-South, rice varieties have been developed mostly by university breeding programs rather than private companies.
The introduction of herbicide-tolerant (Clearfield) and hybrid (RiceTec) rice varieties has brought about the privatization of variety development and has led to increases in seed costs of some varieties. Registered conventional rice seed (Wells, Cocodrie, Cheniere) in 2004 at recommended seeding rates cost growers anywhere from $20 to $30 per acre; whereas CL161 (Clearfield) cost growers around $41 per acre. Hybrid rice, on the other hand, cost growers nearly $69 per acre at a seeding rate of 30 pounds per acre.
Increases in seed costs have led some growers to re-evaluate seeding rates.
He then went on to mention that he was planning to reduce that some this year. The upside to a planting rate like this is that he never had to replant. He did mention that he sprays fungicide for sheath blight nearly every year.
Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas recommend a seeding rate of 40 seed per square foot for conventional varieties to achieve an optimum final plant population between 15 and 20 plants per square foot.
Research indicates that optimum rice yield with some varieties at low seeding rates can be achieved by increasing nitrogen fertilizer rate.
Other research has shown that in a dense rice stand as a result of excessive seeding rates, the incidence of sheath blight may increase.
Rice has the innate ability to compensate for voids in the canopy by producing more reproductive tillers. Since the introduction of hybrid rice, producers who have grown it have become accustomed to sparse stands after emergence, and then watched as the canopy was filled and sometimes unheard-of yields were obtained.
In a recent three-year study in Arkansas, we found that seeding rates ranging from 5 to 40 seeds per square foot did not affect yield of Wells, CL161, or XL8, indicating seeding rates for these varieties can be reduced while not sacrificing yield.
We are not suggesting that growers set their drills to plant 5 seeds per square foot. We are suggesting, however, that growers evaluate their current seeding rates and try a lower seeding rate on a small acreage. The benefits include a reduction in seed costs and savings in fungicide applications due to potentially less sheath blight.
With researchers from Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, we are evaluating the relationship between seeding rate and nitrogen rate for several new rice varieties on various rice soils. We hope to gain an understanding of the relationships among these factors so that more-precise, variety-specific seeding rate recommendations can be made in the future.

Hello! I've decided to do trend posts, featuring a wish list of my favourite high street pieces that have been inspired by the catwalk. And I'm starting with the Eighties because how beaut were the Eighties inspired pieces?! I am loving the metallics, minis and fringed leather jackets.
While this trend could be a massive leap out of your comfort zone after the minimalistic trends of the past few seasons (/years) I think it's about time we all went a little bit extra with our evening wear (and yes, I am drawing the line at evening wear, because as much as I love this trend, I'm probs not going to step out in a sequinned mini dress or gold trousers during the day).
As well as sequinned minidresses, high shine materials, one-shouldered or off the shoulder styles, puff-sleeved detailing and OTT fringing as seen above, there was an abundance of stilettos, larger-than-life earrings (which I personally am not finding appealing atm because I'm stuck in my 'tiny ring and stud from Urban Outfitters' ways, which you can kind of see here), ruffles and bold colours (see below for a hot pink blazer).
My main NEED piece from this trend is the leather jacket. The one below is from Topshop, but you can get similar versions from Etsy for around £30-£100. As much as I love my All Saints Balfern leather biker jacket, I think one of these styles would be a great investment to mix it up from time to time, as I am a leather jacket addict and wear them farrr too much.

All That Beautiful Imperfection
Colour Maisch, Art and Life
by Amie Tullius | photos by Zoë Rodriguez
"Have you ever seen the side of a milkweed pod opening up?" Colour Maisch asks. She reaches under a table in her studio in the ceramics wing of the art department at the University of Utah and digs into a large box filled with milkweed pods. She rummages until she finds a good one. It is a long dry paisley of a thing bearing a little crack with white fluff peeking out.
"It just makes me…" she trails off as she pulls open the pod with both hands. It makes quiet cracking sounds as it opens. Inside, there is the packed fluff, but the pod keeps opening, and opens further, and radiates wide and then the fluff is like a nimbus of big dandelion seeds. "I almost get weepy," she says.
"I'm finding this relationship with materials. I know that it doesn't have a brain, and it's not an animate object, but there's something in the milkweed's ability . . . how it just floats where it wants to float, and does what it wants to do. Sometimes it lands in a good spot and goes on to become another plant, sometimes it doesn't, and lands in somebody's oil spot in their driveway."
While she speaks seeds are lifting up out of the pod, and floating slowly down. Some land on a pile of porcelain grass husks, some rest upon one of the works of art spread throughout the space: a coiled Band-Aid-colored industrial rubber hose with cast latex funnels at the ends like tubas made of cartilage. Some seeds make it to the floor. Colour leaves all of them where they land.

Exhibition Review: Salt Lake City
Being A Mark That Can Be Erased
To Be Unnamed, drawings by John Sproul and poems by Lynn Kilpatrick
by Geoff Wichert
Art doesn't ask questions: people do. So when Salt Lake Community College professor Lynn Kipatrick first saw the 'blind' drawings by John Sproul that form the visual half of their joint show at the City Library, questions came to mind as part of her response. Fortunately, Kilpatrick is among the more original writers on the literary scene today, so her questions, and the stories that emerged with them from her imagination, eventually became a remarkable collaboration of art and prose poetry. Those who come and stand before To Be Unnamed will almost certainly ask questions of their own. For instance, we know that when the words come first, the pictures are illustrations. When the images come first, the words that follow are captions. Neither of these terms seem to fit here, so what are we looking at?
For those who haven't seen it yet, there are two structural devices in To Be Unnamed. The works come in pairs, each containing one elaborate drawing and one prose poem inspired by the drawing. The poems are also related to each other, united in their own thematic structure. Called a crown of sonnets, the series calls for the last line of one sonnet to become the first line of the next, and so on around the entire 'crown.' Since nothing literal connects each pair, it falls to the poet's intuition to forge a metaphorical unity, which she has done. Unfortunately, as noted elsewhere, Sproul's and Kilpatrick's combined visions exceeded the space available in the Library. The complete work had to be hung out of the intended order, so the effect is imperfectly realized here. Nevertheless, while author and artist invite us to look back and forth, seeking connections, we can and should also view the parts of each pair separately, as well as seeing each together with the others of its kind.

Work To Do
Art, Feminism & BYU
by Laura Allred Hurtado | photos by Shawn Rossiter
In 1975, British feminist artist Mary Kelly, along with Margaret Harrison and Kay Hunt, completed a comprehensive conceptual art project called Women and Work: A Document on the Division of Labour in Industry. Part sociological study, part conceptual art, the book and documentation indexed the lives and daily schedules of the nearly 150 female employees at a metal box factory in Bermondsey.
Like so many of Kelly's futures practices, what Women and Work reveals through near obsessive note taking are the everyday duties and monotonous tasks that make up the lived experiences of women's lives: clocking in, clocking out, cooking, cleaning, getting up, going to bed. Such documentation, as a collective picture, not only communicates basic sociological information about gendered labor division found in the 1970s England or what Mierle Laderman Ukeles calls "the back half of life," but also reflects the way these daily tasks amount to what becomes much of our living, of ourselves.
For Kelly, a feminist artist, the work to do was not just an artistic gesture, but also a political one, to make evident the daily labor of the British working class woman and through that visibility, to validate and to evaluate the lived experience of that community. And to enact real social change in the landscape of sexual politics, or at the very least, to comment on it.
Similarly, women and work is the topic of BYUMOA's newest exhibition. Titled Work to Do: Trent Alvey, Pam Bowman, Jann Haworth and Amy Jorgensen, the exhibition provides a venue to four prominent female artists working in Utah today. Curator Jeff Lambson says the exhibit "explores narratives such as domesticity, environment, cinema, motherhood, ritual, and body. Investigating questions and issues linked to the notions of 'women's work,' the exhibition examines the unique ways each artist navigates the gender politics of the Beehive State."
Within this frame, Work To Do can be thought of as a feminist show, and specifically a regional one; and perhaps one of the first to be hung at BYU, and hung with bravado, boldly filling the main gallery. Such an examination certainly has social currency. From the Boston Globe to the bloggersphere, to protest movements on Facebook, feminism is in the air in Utah.
