Atletico Madrid are the clear favourites to win the Europa League after vanquishing Arsenal over a tense 180 minutes in the semi-final. Diego Simeone's team have won the tournament many times before and they have the grit, tenacity and discipline to seize further glory this month. But standing in their way is an exciting Marseille team, led by the creative talents of Dmitri Payet, and it should be a gripping final clash. It takes place in Lyon on Wednesday and excitement is mounting among fans and punters alike, with millions expected to be wagered on it at BMR's green-listed bookmakers.
If you fancy Atletico Madrid to win the game in 90 minutes, the odds available to you range from 8/13 (1.62) to 7/10 (1.7). The bookmakers offering that leading price of 7/10 are Betfred, Bet Stars and Marathon Bet. Marathon often offers the sharpest prices as it bids to claw market share from more established operators, but its limits are not particularly high. It is worth noting that Marathon and Betfred have three-star ratings at Bookmakers Review. They are by no means on the red list of bookies to avoid, but they do not offer the greatest experience on the market. Five-star bookmakers like Bet365 and William Hill are among the most popular operators, and they are offering 8/13 and 4/6 (1.66) respectively. Pinnacle is also very highly rated and that has 17/25 (1.68) on Atletico. If you fancy Marseille to pull off an upset, Bet365 is offering 5/1, as are Betfair and Betway, both of which carry four-star ratings with BMR. Established and reputable bookmakers like William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral and Sky Bet are offer the widest range of special bets, allowing you to find value in the game.
Atletico Madrid are real heavyweights of European football and they won this competition in 2010 and 2012. Nowadays, they are typically seen thriving in the Champions League, the big brother to the Europa League. They were semi-finalists last year and have twice finished runners-up in the Champions League in recent years, but they dropped down to the Europa League this year and were instantly installed as favourites. They lived up to the tag by vanquishing Arsenal over two tense legs, during which they displayed amazing defensive grit and determination, but not much flair or free-flowing football. Marseille are a sleeping giant of European football and they are finally showing some ambition in the transfer market after a barren decade. Payet arrived for big money and they have done well to make it this far, but they are unlikely to have much joy against a famously mean Atletico defence.
Every time Atletico play, 'under' 2.5 goals is a popular option, and Marathon has the best odds on this: 37/50 (1.74). Atletico are dogged and press hard all over the pitch, and defending is in their DNA. They do not yield many chances, and they are clinical when in front of goal, with the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa proving particularly deadly. Atletico to win to nil is always a classic bet to get more value out of Diego Simeone's side, and 188Bet has a market leading 8/5 (2.60) on that outcome. Bet Victor has 31/20 (2.55), while Sky Bet, Betway and Betfred have 6/4 (2.50). Another option could be Atletico Madrid to win and under 2.5 goals, which is a massive 13/5 (3.60) with Betfair, or if you are feeling more cautious it has 13/10 (2.30) on Atletico to win and 'under' 3.5 goals.

the California Democrats 2019 Fall Endorsing Convention. (Evan Symon for California Globe)
California Becomes A Battleground State Among Democrats
With five major presidential nominee candidates with their own bases, a fight brews up in California
By Evan Symon, November 18, 2019 6:21 am
At the California Democrats 2019 Fall Endorsing Convention in Long Beach there was a noticeable divide.
While everyone stated that their main goal was to have a candidate to defeat Trump, few can agree right now at who that is. Previous campaigns had more rounded candidates with broad appeal. In 2016 Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump never gave up their leads both nationwide and in the California primaries, despite a Bernie Sanders rally to with a few points in the California primary. In 2012, Mitt Romney managed to stave off Newt Gingrich by a large margin.
But for the Democrats in 2020 every candidate is managing to hold onto their base. At the Convention, unlike past years and elections where candidate supporters were side-by-side, candidates were spread out all over the convention center, with very little of the intermingling among supporters that was once common less than a decade ago
"We're preferring to discuss our candidate amongst ourselves"

"We're keeping it so that like-minded people only talk with each other," explained a Pete Buttigieg supporter who asked the Globe not to use her name. "We're preferring to discuss our candidate amongst ourselves. I know how this sounds, but talking to other supporters can be frustrating, and we really need to keep together to have Pete win."
An Elizabeth Warren supporter setting up with her group outside the convention center also mentioned keeping to themselves. "If we're see with them, everyone might think we're having second thoughts about Warren," explained the anonymous Warren volunteer while making signs. "When we have watch parties and plan, the parts of the night that get the most crazy are when other candidates, or God forbid, 45 is mentioned. This way we can focus on Warren and get her elected."
Democratic candidates and their bases of support
The divide among supporters was also largely seen in the convention. The Globe circulated both the conference rooms and the floor itself and gathered a quick tally of supporter information. Some help was given by supporters who candidly explained who their base was in California.
Buttigieg supporters tended to be white, with many being Midwest transplants or gay, but he also had a 50-50 split of supporters by gender as well as the greatest number of irreligious supporters. Warren supporters were mostly white women. Biden's supporters were a mix of different people with a heavy Union-member base, but the median age among supporters was 55. Harris had a strong presence due to the Convention being held in California, but it was mostly female and African-American. And the Bernie Sanders supporters were largely younger, but also skewed farthest to the left. Other candidates had a mix as well, but with far fewer than the other five candidates.

Their bases, combined with extensive polling, shows that Californian Democrats are playing close to base despite overall national changes. While Kamala Harris rose and fell throughout the year thanks to a strong debate performance and subsequent weaker performances, all other candidates ebbs and flows were marginal compared to their average voter percentage never falling or rising more than 10% in a month.
"Right now we're picking and choosing based on what we want most from a candidate, then not letting them go," said John Tucker, a Sacramento-area Delegate and Sanders supporter. "I was with Sander in 2016, but it shifted with time to Clinton. In 2008 it was largely Clinton here, then Obama. In '04 I can't begin to tell you how many times a new top supporter came about in California early on. I know some guys who still have 10 posters in their garage from that one.
Dems encouraged to vote for the nominee no matter what just to get rid of Trump
The convention floor on Friday. (Evan Symon for California Globe)
But this year no one is looking at new data, or acting upon it. Warren kept her Native American supporters even after they found out she lied about being partially Native. I talked to several and they said they were sticking by her no matter what because she had good plans.
Everyone is so sick of Trump they can only see one person to fix it. This is why the leadership is encouraging that everyone vote for the person who becomes the nominee no matter what – they just want Trump out.
Many Californians my age remember in 1976 the huge Ford and Reagan Republican National Convention battle that made both sides angry and fractured supporters so much that it helped Jimmy Carter win. Or in 2016, a lot of Bernie supporters still voted for him in the general and took away a lot of needed votes for Hillary. That's what we don't want."
Whether supporters remain to be split in California remains to be seen. While it's likely that Democrats will fall in line behind the chosen candidate, the scene at the Convention on Friday didn't show the more united front that so prevalent in the past.

Q: Wrong use of words? My friends who lives in China just sent me this snapshot of a test which she used to practice her English language skill-set. I took a look at it, and something bothers me. I might be completely wrong here, by no means am I saying that it really IS wrong. Could you guys and gals help me out here?
I'm referring to blank space 2, we have two options..
Option A = with.
Option B = up.

We're going to take a look at " Instead, the studies ended ..... giving their names to the "Hawthorne effect", ...
This alone confuses me. Apparently, B is the correct answer for blank space 2.
So the complete sentence ( comma excluded ) would be ;

Instead, the studies ended up giving their names to the ...

How is a "study", which is a thing, not a person, supposed to give up his/her/its name? I thought that "their" reefers to a group of people.
Could somebody clear this up for me? Kindly appreciated!

A: This is anyway not an issue of 'studies' giving a name to something. The sentence just suggests that the studies of the Hawthorne plant gave rise to the name "Hawthorne effect". In my opinion, the sentence could have been phrased far more lucidly, like:
"Instead, the studies gave rise to the term "Hawthorne effect", the extremely influential..."
But since this is a test, let's ignore the grammar. As for the correct option, B is right, because 'ended up' means 'resulted in', like:
"I fooled around the entire day and ended up cramming for the test the next morning."
Or, "I took an action which had a result: that I had to do something as a consequence."
Versus 'ended with', which means 'concluded with another, possibly unrelated, action', like:
"I fooled around the entire day and ended with cramming for the test the next morning."
Or, "I took and action, and concluded it by taking another action."

A: A good question. I see it as a very concise idiom.       "ended up ..." = "the matter came to an end, with the consequence of ..." as in "He was sad, and ended up killing himself."

OK Computer é o terceiro álbum de estúdio da banda inglesa de rock alternativo Radiohead. Foi lançado  pela Capitol e Parlophone Records em 1997. O álbum foi o primeiro a ser auto-produzido pela banda, apesar de contar com a assistência de Nigel Godrich. O Radiohead gravou as canções em Oxfordshire e Bath, entre os anos de 1996 e o início de 1997, com grande parte das sessões realizadas na mansão histórica de St. Catherine's Court.

OK Computer é, em grande parte, uma tentativa deliberada dos seus autores de afastar-se do estilo musical prévio guiado por guitarras elétricas e letras introspectivas, como no álbum anterior, The Bends. O trabalho lírico abstrato, a instrumentação densamente produzida e a gama de influências conceituais em OK Computer introduziram o experimentalismo na obra do Radiohead, algo que retornaria como a principal característica dos álbuns posteriores.

Quando as gravações foram entregues à gravadora, representantes da gravadora abaixaram as expectativas de venda, acusando o álbum de ser pouco comercial. Ainda assim, OK Computer alcançou o primeiro lugar na UK Albums Chart e tornou-se o álbum mais bem sucedido da banda nas paradas estadunidenses até aquele momento, atingindo o número 21 na Billboard 200. Quatro canções do álbum – "Paranoid Android", "Karma Police", "Lucky" e "No Surprises" – foram lançadas como singles promocionais. OK Computer expandiu o sucesso do grupo ao redor do mundo e, até o presente momento, vendeu mais de oito milhões de cópias mundialmente.

O álbum recebeu aclamação da crítica especializada logo após seu lançamento. Em anos subsequentes, continua a ser citado por ouvintes, críticos e músicos em geral como um dos melhores discos de sua época, e um dos melhores da história da música. O trabalho do Radiohead nessa obra foi decisivo para uma transição estética da música popular inglesa, que saía do estouro do Britpop em direção a um estilo atmosférico e melancólico que prevaleceria na década seguinte. No que diz respeito ao trabalho lírico de OK Computer, acredita-se que este lide com temas como crescimento do consumismo no final da década de 90, alienação social, isolamento emocional e divergências políticas; desta forma, os temas do álbum são frequentemente vistos como uma previsão do que veio a ser conhecido como o estilo de vida do século XXI.

Antecedentes

Em 1995, o Radiohead estava na turnê de divulgação de seu aclamado segundo álbum The Bends. No meio da turnê, a banda foi solicitada por Brian Eno a gravar uma canção para o The Help Album, um álbum de caridade organizado pela instituição War Child. The Help Album seria gravado em apenas um dia, 4 de setembro de 1995, e lançado rapidamente na mesma semana. Naquele dia, a banda gravou "Lucky" em cinco horas com o engenheiro Nigel Godrich, que havia auxiliado o produtor John Leckie em The Bends and já havia produzido alguns lados B da banda anteriormente.

Sobre a sessão daquele dia, Godrich disse que "essas coisas são as mais inspiradoras, quando fazemos o trabalho bem rápido e não há nada a perder. Nós saímos com um sentimento bem eufórico. Depois de sentir uma harmonia com a banda em relação àquela gravação, eu meio que comecei a esperar estar envolvido no próximo álbum." Para promover The Help Album, "Lucky" foi a primeira faixa do   Help EP, que atingiu a modesta posição nº 51, já que a BBC Radio 1 decidiu não a tocar. Isso desapontou Thom Yorke, mas ele disse posteriormente que "Lucky" foi essencial na formação da sonoridade do próximo álbum. De acordo com o vocalista, " 'Lucky' foi um indício do que queríamos fazer. Foi como a primeira marca na parede."

Gravação
Em Julho de 1996, o Radiohead começou a ensaiar e gravar para o OK Computer no então estúdio da banda Canned Applause (um galpão improvisado, próximo a Didcot, Oxfordshire). Mesmo sem um curto prazo determinado pela gravadora (fator que contribuiu para o estresse nas gravações do The Bends) a banda teve algumas dificuldades, as quais Selway culpou a escolha da banda de se auto-produzir: "Nós estávamos pulando de faixa em faixa, e quando começamos a ficar sem ideias, nós passávamos para uma nova... A coisa estúpida era que estávamos quase terminando quando decidimos seguir em frente, porque muito trabalho havia sido aplicado às canções ". Os membros trabalharam com papéis quase iguais na produção e composição musical, embora Thom Yorke ainda fosse firmemente "a voz mais alta" segundo O'Brien.

Recepção

Relançamento de 2009 - OK Computer Collectors Edition
OK Computer foi amplamente aclamado pela crítica. Críticos da imprensa britânica e americana concordaram que o álbum era um marco que teria grande impacto e importância a longo prazo, e que seu experimentalismo fez com que fosse desafiador ouvi-lo. De acordo com Tim Footman, "desde 1967, com o lançamento de Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, muitos críticos importantes concordaram imediatamente, não apenas com os méritos de um álbum, mas com seu significado a longo prazo e sua capacidade de sintetizar um ponto particular na história ". Na imprensa inglesa, o álbum recebeu críticas favoráveis em revistas como NME, Melody Maker, The Guardian, e Q.  Nick Kent escreveu para a Mojo que "Outros álbuns podem acabar vendendo mais, mas daqui a 20 anos eu aposto que OK Computer será visto como a obra chave de 1997, o primeiro a levar o rock para frente ao invés de refazer as estéticas e estruturas das músicas de uma época anterior. ".

Relançamento de 2017 - OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017
Em 2 de maio de 2017, juntamente com a gravadora XL Recording, Radiohead anunciou uma reedição do álbum em seu 20º aniversário, OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017. A reedição inclui uma versão remasterizada do álbum, além de oito faixas lados-B e três músicas inéditas: "I Promise", "Man of War" e "Lift". A edição box inclui o álbum em vinil, um livro com mais de 30 ilustrações e notas e uma fita cassete de demos e gravações de sessões do OK Computer, incluindo músicas inéditas. O OKNOTOK estreou em primeiro lugar no UK Albums Chart, impulsionado pela performance da banda no Festival de Glastonbury. Foi o álbum mais vendido em lojas de discos independentes entre abril de 2017 e abril de 2018.

Faixas
Todas as faixas foram compostas por Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood e Philip Selway.

When I visit the States I see a lot of pasta and spaghetti in the supermarkets. I wonder which is the typical seasoning (sauce or similar) used by Americans when they cook spaghetti. Of course, when they don't cook Italian-style.
The most common preparation is tomato sauce and parmesan cheese.
Of course, some Americans will tell you that the only truly American way to eat spaghetti is to top it with chili, then shredded cheddar cheese, then chopped onions, then red kidney beans. It's hard to fully express the majesty of this dish, and should only be enjoyed on special occasions, like the Super Bowl.
In Canada (which I consider to be basically "American"), it's also fairly common to add or replace the tomato sauce with pesto sauce. Soft goat cheese is another common additive. Perhaps these sound "Italian" but I'd consider an Italian pasta to be something more like a bolognese, carbonara, alfredo, or even the trusty old butter/olive oil and parmesan cheese. You'll almost never see tomato sauce combined with pesto sauce in an authentic Italian restaurant (or in Italy), but it's common in American home cooking.
I might refer you to this video, where Malcolm Gladwell talks (a little bit) about spaghetti, and how Americans prefer to eat it.
Apparently, companies doing market research found that Americans say they want "real Italian pasta sauce," which is somewhat thinner than "American style," but actually prefer eating the chunkier, heartier sauces now common on supermarket shelves.
Besides what @Aaronut mentioned with Cincinnati style chili, if we're talking pasta in general, and not just spaghetti, I'd say the "American" pasta dish is macaroni and cheese -- from a box.
Also popular is "macaroni salad", at least along the east coast from at least Pennsylvania to Georgia.
My mom's second-generation Italian-American, so I grew up with carbonara / pesto / oil and garlic / butter and parmesan / crab / tuna / primavera / bechamal / etc (bascially, whatever was in season and/or cheap). My neighbors on the other hand (friends from high school, we take turns cooking), never cooked anything other than tomato sauce from a jar and/or mac and cheese (from a box). They were even surprised when I introduced them to chili over pasta (but their kids loved it).
Normally tomato sauce (Ragu, Prego, etc) with Parmesean cheese on top.
This tomato sauce is no marinara. It has ground beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and celery, and is otherwise made from a base of tomato sauce (29 oz) and tomato paste (6 oz), which gives it a particular consistency and flavor that I'm guessing is more American than Italian, since none of the Italian restaurants I've been to do bolognese in quite that way. The olive oil used for sauteeing the beef & mushrooms is first used to sautee the onions and garlic, which lends a fantastic aroma to the kitchen.
Baked macaroni and cheese is the third I'd mention. It involves layers of large elbow macaroni and cheddar cheese, plus a dash of paprika in the sauce for flavoring (well OK, these days I use a bit more than a dash :-) ). I use the recipe from the Joy of Cooking. For the full-out American experience (not for the faint of heart!), substitute "American cheese" (can you even get this outside of the States?) and butter for the cheddar.
I think you're looking for New York Italian pasta.
The major influence on New York pasta was the unavailability of good quality pastas for quite some time.
and of course, the Ubiquitous "Italian Seasoning" which is a blend similar to Herbs Provencal, but much heavier on the oregano.
Brown meat and drain, Chop and saute veggies, Mix it all together, and simmer for an hour or more.
You'll end up with a pretty thick sauce that can almost be eaten as a Sloppy Joe.
Keep in mind, as with all Italian cooking, there is absolutely no such thing as an "Authentic" or Canonical recipe. Each person has their own version, and there have been bloodbaths in the streets over who's mother makes the better dish.
The history of american spaghetti and meat sauce. It's popularity in America can be traced back to a cookbook published in 1920 by an association of pasta manufacturers.
A little salt in the water used to boil the spaghetti. For a sauce, our family likes a tomato sauce, like a marinara, that we buy in a jar, and we add cooked ground beef to the sauce to make it a meat sauce.
Per the mass market/tv ads - with red sauce of some sort.
Per I hate tomato sauce on pasta, not in my house.
Just cheese is one method - I prefer a sharp cheddar, but am happy enough with a pecorino romano that's more convenient (seems fine if purchased grated/powdered, kept in fridge) while the sharp cheddar needs to be grated onto the pasta. Most american supermarket "parmesan" might as well be sawdust.
As a gardener (and I suppose per one answer, living near Canada, though I would not think of it as particularly Canadian) straight pesto or pesto with additional cheese is another, not too far off the reservation method.
"Macaroni and cheese" is a widespread product as well, in many variations from horrid to excellent, but done traditionally it's far more work/time than simply grating cheddar on angelhair is. If you apply the same logic that makes red sauce default (sheer volume and lots of advertising) then the horrible (kraft powdered orange "stuff" and competitors in "convenience") rules this market, and probably equals or exceeds the red sauce pasta sales volume, actually. It's "easy food that's widely accepted by children." I personally prefer radiatori as a pasta for for it, and the non-packaged bake it in the oven method if going to the bother at all. Grating cheese on hot pasta usually wins.
Lasagna has an arguably more minor, yet significant, niche.
Egg noodles often show up simply buttered, or in soup.
The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink (via googlebooks) suggests that Mac and Cheese is both of earlier provenance in the US and indeed still exceeding "with red sauce" in sales.

Chinese yuan-denominated deposits in Taiwanese banks increased on a month-on-month basis, for the month of July. The move highlights the growing interest in transactions related to the Chinese currency pair that will directly correlate to a rise in trading volumes.
The country's official banking institute, the Central Bank of the Republic of Taiwan, reported that the balance of yuan-denominated deposits in Taiwan's domestic banking units (DBUs) and offshore banking units (OBUs) as of the end of July, totaled US$47.64 billion.
Taiwanese banks were permitted by the central bank to carry out yuan-related banking activities in February 2013. Under the approved terms, the 67 DBUs and the 58 OBUs carry out transactions involving deposits, lending and remittances.
As of the end of July, yuan deposits at Taiwanese domestic banking units rose $146 million or 0.38 percent from a month earlier to $39 billion, at the same time transactions in yuan deposits in offshore banking units fell $99.8 or 1.16 percent to $8.4 billion, the banking data showed.

The world's second largest economy, China, has seen its currency evolve over the last thirty years. The domestic cross has seen a number of initiatives by the central bank that have altered its international presence. Chinese corporates and the country's export business have been a key driver behind the positioning of the pegged currency pair in the global market. The yuan has increased its rankings in the international foray, according to the BIS Triennial FX Survey 2013, it was the ninth most active currency pair.
The news follows on from South Korea's central bank's figures published earlier this week, which saw the amount of yuan deposits increase in the Asian nation.

When I started building my I-Box, like all of my other boats it was going to be direct drive and setup for racing. As the build progressed however, my daughters became interested in the boat that was shaping up and we decided to make it "their" boat! Of course I would still race this boat but it would be painted in a theme of their choice and I wanted to make it so they could actually try running the boat at the lake. For this it absolutely needed to have a clutch! So I started shopping for one.
I didn't really know what I wanted or what price range it should be in…I had never purchased a clutch before. After looking around I found this clutch advertised on Ebay by Oneill Brothers Racing out of California USA. They are probably better known for their scooter and RC car divisions but they now have an RC Boat division and it is growing fast!
My first contact with OBR was through Ebay. They promptly replied to my Email and within no time I had a clutch on order. The next day I received a shipping notification along with a tracking number. Within a week the parcel was in my mailbox…California to Canada. The shipping was very reasonable and the documentation was properly filled out.
A little bit about the clutch now. I will be completely honest here folks, the main factor influencing my decision in the purchase was the price. At $69.00 I thought it was quite a bargain. I see now that they have it available for $60.00 on their website (at the time of this writing). Now that is a great price for a complete clutch.
I like to use Insane/CC Racing mounts in all my boats so I was also hoping this clutch would work in conjunction with these mounts, and it worked out nicely with only slight modifications.
Here are some pictures of the clutch.
Finally, in order to get the clutch and engine as low as possible in the hull I cut off the stub on the bottom of the clutch housing. This is most likely used as a mount in other applications, but was preventing the clutch from laying low in the hull.
NOTE: there isn't much space between the mounts and the clutch to get a wrench in for tightening the bolts but it is possible with a thin wrench.
All in all I recommend this clutch to anyone looking for an economical solution that will work with Hypertorque style engine mounts. It would probably work with other types of engine mounts also, but I have not tried it so I can't comment on that at this point.
*** I will report back with a performance and reliability update when I have significant run time on the clutch but so far so good!
To order one of these clutches contact Oneill Brothers Racing.

Indigenous People's Day is a federal holiday now. Activists want to drop Columbus Day
By Ashley Brown & Lauren Hodges • Oct 11, 2021
Originally published on October 12, 2021 12:15 pm
Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day and recognized for the first time in a U.S. presidential proclamation. President Biden said he wants to honor Native Americans and their contributions to American society, along with the brutal history of discrimination and genocide against them. He also issued a proclamation to still recognize today as Columbus Day, a federal holiday since 1937. And that joint recognition of Christopher Columbus's legacy comes with significant tension.
DYLAN BACA: Should we recognize a man who raped, killed children, killed women, decimated the Native American population here?
CORNISH: That's Dylan Baca, a 19-year-old Arizona activist who co-founded the Indigenous Peoples Initiative. He told NPR's Emma Bowman his group had been, among others, working with the White House to help draft President Biden's proclamation on today's observance. Not every city or state has to observe a federal holiday, and some may still not observe Indigenous Peoples' Day. Others are choosing to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, say Oregon. State Representative Tawna Sanchez, a Native American of Shoshone Bannock and Ute descent, says that's a big deal considering her state's history.
TAWNA SANCHEZ: Oregon was designed as a very racist state. It was designed as an all-white state, so annihilation was necessary on some levels.
CORNISH: But other states like Utah are leaving observances up to individual cities.
ALASTAIR LEE BITSOI: I feel like the cities are obviously more progressive, but when it comes to the state, if you look at the data, there's, like, only 11 states that honor Indigenous Peoples' Day, so it says a lot.
CORNISH: Alastair Lee Bitsoi is a reporter for The Salt Lake Tribune and from the Navajo Nation. He says that instead of observing Indigenous Peoples' Day today, Utah has a proposed proclamation that will recognize Native Americans in November. That's not satisfying Indigenous activists.
BITSOI: They still haven't abolished or eliminated Columbus Day in October.
CORNISH: Mandy Van Heuvelen, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe from South Dakota and the cultural interpreter coordinator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, says the growing conversation and awareness around Native issues isn't slowing down.
MANDY VAN HEUVELEN: There is growing public awareness of Indigenous peoples and their causes, like the protest at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline and the boarding school issue.
CORNISH: Sanchez, the Oregon state representative, says the holiday isn't just about recognition. It's about education.
SANCHEZ: It's hopefully a day where folks can reflect because people are actually taking a look at long-term racism and oppression, implicit bias, historical trauma, this moment in time of reckoning, how we've looked at all of this because history is always written by the conqueror.
CORNISH: And that's how she and many others are marking this day. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.


Rock Star Tri: My journey back to the endurance world frequently interrupted by life : Week 1; day 1: It is better to train for the wrong race that to not train for the right one.
The first day back is the hardest. It goes away so fast and comes back so slow. All except the weight part!
I love the title to this post! And I agree with the poster above, Day 1 is the toughest! You can do this!


"How do I know you're the right fit for my marketing writing needs?" you may ask. Fair enough. Let's see.
Kimmo's work for TietoEnator has received very good comments. I liked his staying in constant contact during the project, his way to work and contribute; everything was absolutely professional and it is a pleasure to work with him! The copy he produced was of high quality, exactly fitting the situation and speaking to the target group.
I work with business-to-business companies, particularly those who operate internationally, as well as advertising agencies with B2B clients.
Whatever your industry or size, it's probably safe to assume that every new customer, sale or business agreement is important for you.
You're looking for better return on your advertising investment. You need a capable writer who can present your mission and message to your prospects better than your present partners.
You have a limited marketing budget, but you still need to achieve your crucial goals to be successful in your business.
Your business is slowing down because of the present economic downturn and you're unsure of how you should improve your marketing message not to lose sales or market share to your competitors.
Your marketing materials are produced as a response to situations your company finds itself in instead of following a pre-thought plan, policy or structure.
You would like to put your money to more efficient use. Your marketing works all right, but you have a persistent feeling you're investing enough to expect more results.
Your present marketing materials only talk about you instead of telling your customers how they can benefit from doing business with you, not one of your competitors. In other words, they are about "we" rather than "you".
What is possible for you, then?
Every client's needs are specific, but certain patterns have emerged during the 20+ years I've been in business. I can tap into that vast reserve of experience to quickly grasp the essence of your problem and suggest a solution that addresses your needs.
You lay your cards on the table. I need hard, solid, un-beautified facts to work on. I may have a lot of questions, which need to be answered brutally honestly. Only then will I fully understand your situation and be able to craft your message in a way that delivers.
You stand 100% behind what we are doing. Creating a message that will bring you more business requires that your whole team supports a unified set of values, objectives and priorities. Contradictions in opinions have been settled by now.
The team involved is half a dozen people or less. As someone said, "committees cannot create, they can only criticise".
Your ultimate goal is systematic marketing. You are aiming for a consistent, parametrised message for your brand, company or product. You understand that producing ad-hoc marketing materials that fail to interconnect is only an attempt at curing an illness instead of staying in good health.
You're willing to break your industry's conventions. Instead of "this is how it's always been done" you have no problem accepting "let's do it differently".
You're prepared to see the project to the end. If there should be changes in your team or the market conditions for which we are crafting your message, you can react swiftly and appropriately to keep the project on track. Leaving the project hanging in the air will be nothing but a waste of your time and money.
By now, you're probably anxious to know how all this works. Either jump right to the services I offer or first get to know what you will get working with me. Or perhaps you'd like to see some work samples?
Of course, we could also talk about working together right away. It's easy. Just send me a message and I'll get back to you.

Q: Is it possible to satisfy Swift protocol and add defaulted arguments? If you have protocol like so:
protocol Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String)
}

Is there any way to satisfy it in a class like so:
class Messager: Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int = 1) {}
}

This would be nice to have, as the resulting signature of the protocol is satisfied by adding the defaulted parameter. Is there any way to get this to work with Swift 2?
This is a simplified example. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the protocol is fixed. A solution can only update the Messager class. My goal is to be able to call sendMessage() like so:
let m: Messaging = Messager()
m.sendMessage("")

The only way I found to accomplish this (and satisfy the compiler) is with overloading like so:
class Messager: Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String) {
        self.sendMessage(message, count: 1)
    }

    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int = 1) {}
}

The problem with this approach is that my defaults are then specified in two places and I lose the main advantage of Swift's default parameters.

A: in Swift 3 you could use extensions to solve that, however it's a bit ugly. Hope for a better solution in next swift versions.
import UIKit

protocol TestProtocol {
    func testFunction(a: Int, b: Int?) -> String
}

extension TestProtocol
{
    func testFunction(a: Int, b: Int? = nil) -> String {
        return testFunction(a: a, b: b)
    }
}

class TestClass: TestProtocol
{
    func testFunction(a: Int, b: Int?) -> String {
        return "a: \(a), b: \(b)"
    }
}

func testit(testProtocol: TestProtocol) {
    print(testProtocol.testFunction(a: 10)) // will print a: 10, b: nil
    print(testProtocol.testFunction(a:10, b:20)) // will print a: 10, b: Optional(20)
}

let t = TestClass()
testit(testProtocol: t)

However, this would somehow lead to one issue. If some class is not conforming to the protocol, it wont result in a compile error but rather in an endless loop.
A slightly better solution (in my opinion) is to capsulate the default parameter in a second function like this:
import Foundation

protocol TestProtocol {
    func testFunction(a: Int, b: Int?) -> String
}

extension TestProtocol
{
    // omit the second parameter here
    func testFunction(a: Int) -> String {
        return testFunction(a: a, b: nil) // <-- and use the default parameter here
    }
}

class TestClass: TestProtocol
{
   func testFunction(a: Int, b: Int?) -> String
   {
       return "testFunction(a: \(a), b: \(b))"
   }
}

func testit(testProtocol: TestProtocol) {
    print(testProtocol.testFunction(a: 10)) // will print a: 10, b: nil
    print(testProtocol.testFunction(a: 10, b: 20)) // will print a: 10, b: Optional(20)
}
print(Date())
let t = TestClass()
testit(testProtocol: t)

In this way the compiler will notify when a class does not conform to the protocol, and also wont end up in and endless loop.

A: You could add typealiases to your protocol to represent possible different argument types in your protocol-blueprinted function .sendMessage. In the example below I have explicitly specified that the 2nd argument has neither an internal nor an external name.
Since you have two typealiases, you can either implement this blueprint as one using two different types (Messenger in example below), or, simply throw away the second argument (AnotherMessenger in example) as an empty tuple type () with default value () (you can think of this as a void type with a value of void).
protocol Messaging {
    typealias T
    typealias U
    func sendMessage(message: T, _ _ : U)
}

/* Class where you make use of 2nd argument */
class Messager: Messaging {

    func sendMessage(message: String, _ count: Int) {
        print(message + "\(count)")
    }
}

/* Class where you ignore 2nd argument */
class AnotherMessager : Messaging {

    func sendMessage(message: String, _ _ : () = ()) {
        print(message)
    }
}

/* Tests */
var a = Messager()
a.sendMessage("Hello world #", 1)
// prints "Hello World #1"

var b = AnotherMessager()
b.sendMessage("Hello world")
// prints "Hello World"

This is as close as I can get you to simulate the behaviour you describe in the question and in the comments below. I'll leave the alternative solutions below in case they can help someone else with similar thought but less hard design constraints.

Another option: not exactly the behaviour your asking for, but you could use an anonymous closure as the single parameter to your protocol-blueprinted function, where this close take no arguments but returns an array of Any objects, which you can access and treat in your sendMessage function as you wish.
protocol Messaging {
    func sendMessage(@autoclosure messages: ()->[Any])
}

class Messager: Messaging {
    func sendMessage(@autoclosure messages: ()->[Any]) {
        for message in messages() {
            print(message, terminator: "")
        }
    }
}

var a = Messager()
a.sendMessage([String("Hello "), String("World "), String("Number "), Int(1)])
// prints "Hello World Number 1"

Another alternative would be to have to separate blueprints of function sendMessage(..) in your protocol Messaging, one with and one without the additional parameter count. You thereafter add default (dummy) implementations for both of these functions via extension of protocol Messaging. Your class Messager will then comply to Messaging protocol even without any implementation of sendMessage(..) in it at all; in the lack thereof, the default implementations are used. Finally make a detailed implementation only the sendMessage function you wish to use in your class.
protocol Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String)
    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int)
}

/* Extend blueprints with default dummy implementations */
extension Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String) { }
    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int = 1) { }
}

class Messager: Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int = 1) {
        print(message + "\(count)")
    }
}

var a = Messager()
a.sendMessage("Hello world #")
// prints "Hello World #1"

Note however that instances of your class will list both sendMessage functions as available class methods; one of them being your function, and the other the dummy default implementation.

Old answer prior to edit regarding different type parameters (I'll leave it here as it can be a possible alternative in the case where all parameters are of same type)
Finally, you could make use of variadic parameters:
protocol Messaging {
    func sendMessage(messages: String...)
}

class Messager: Messaging {
    func sendMessage(messages: String...) {
        for message in messages {
            print(message)
        }
    }
}

var a = Messager()

a.sendMessage("Hello", "World", "!")

A variadic parameter accepts zero or more values of a specified type.
  You use a variadic parameter to specify that the parameter can be
  passed a varying number of input values when the function is called.
  Write variadic parameters by inserting three period characters (...)
  after the parameter's type name.

A: If anyone is still looking for an answer to this, this link helped me out:
https://oleb.net/blog/2016/05/default-arguments-in-protocols/
Basically the original function definition includes all the params you need:
protocol Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int)
}

and your extension provides the default values, calling your original protocol function with those default values:
extension Messaging {
    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int = 1) {
        sendMessage(message, count)
    }
}

A: With Swift 2 you can now extend your protocol like so and give it a default implementation
protocol Messageable {
    func sendMessage(message: String)
}

extension Messageable {
    func sendMessage(message: String, count: Int = 1) {
        // Do your default implementation
    }
}

I am still learning about this so I am not 100% sure how this will work with your send message example, but I believe this is what you are looking for.
There are so many new cool things you can do with protocols in Swift 2.

QCOSTARICA – In the first eight months of the 2015, a total of 1,350 drunk drivers were surprised by the traffic police. These drivers now face criminal charges and possible jail time.
The director of the Policia de Transito (Traffic Police), Mario Calderon, explained that on average a drunk driver is charged every 4 hours and 20 minutes.
From January to October of this year, 19 people died in traffic accidents directly linked to a drunk driver. That number is up from 13 deaths in the same period last year.
Despite the increase in the numbers, Calderon said his officials are doing a good job and puts a positive spin on the situation, saying officials saved the lives of the 1,350 and potentially many more that could have died in a drunk driving accident.
In addition to the drunk drivers, traffic officials also surprised 214 drivers in pre-drunk driving, that is impaired not beyond the limit to warrants criminal charges, but face a fine of ¢306,448 colones (US$565) and 6 points on their license.
The traffic law in Costa Rica stipulates a financial penalty and points for drivers under the influence whose results in a breathalyzer test are between 0.50 and 0.75 grams of alcohol, or between 0.25 and 0.38 milligrams in a blood test. For persons who earn a living driving the limits are lower: between 0.20 and 0.50 in a breathalyzer test and 0.10 abd 0.25 in a blood test.
Drivers accumulating, for the first time, 12 points in one lose their driving privileges for a year, unless the driver can prove he/she earns a living driving, then the suspension is for only six months.
One of the idiosyncracies of Costa Rican driving laws is that you can legally drink alcohol and drive, and that means you can drink while you are driving as long as you're not over the limit.


With homes this elaborate, birds may soon need real estate brokers. In a new book, "Birdhouses of the World" (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $22.50), author Anne Schmauss showcases a range of man-made birdhouses, from dovecotes carved into cliffs to modern cube-shaped chickadee homes in Duluth, Minn., to the grand "Belgrave Inn" for birds in Belgrave, Ontario.

Q: Must realise VS Must have realised A question in an English exercise book puzzled me.
The instruction is "Complete the second sentence so that it means the same as the first, using the word in bold. Use between two and five words."
The question is

I'm certain Emily realises that she's made a mistake.
must
  Emily _____________________ that she's made a mistake.

The model answer reads "must realise"
"Must realise" sounds like "has to realise" here to me. I am not sure whether my judgment is correct. I am more inclined to "must have realised" (though the tense has changed), followed by "must be realising" (continuous tense for realise is not quite natural to me) .
My question is, can "Emily must realise that she's made a mistake" mean "I'm certain Emily realises that she's made a mistake"?

A: The model answer is quite correct. The speaker is saying that given what he knows Emily knows, she has no alternative but to realise she has made a mistake. In that sense, she does "have to" realise.
If you put the word "surely" in the sentence it would still have the same meaning but it would be clearer that the speaker is trying to put himself in Emily's position and see things as she does.
None of this means that Emily does in fact so realise. But then none of us always do what we "have to".

A: Yes, "Emily must realise that she's made a mistake" means "I'm certain Emily realises that she's made a mistake". That's because one of the meanings of must is absolute certainty. Here are more examples to illustrate this:

*

*She must be his sister (= I am sure she is his sister).

*You must know her (= I am certain that you know her).

If you need to express the same meaning (of absolute certainty) but refer to the past, you need to use must + have + past participle:

*

*Emily must have realised that she'd made a mistake (= I'm certain Emily realised that she'd made a mistake).

ValleyCats sweep into New York-Penn Finals
Dennis' three-hit night sets up Tri-City battle vs. Hudson Valley
Tri-City players and coaches celebrate their New York-Penn League Championship Series berth. (Tri-City ValleyCats)
By Tyler Maun / MiLB.com | September 7, 2018 12:48 AM
The right side of Class A Short Season Tri-City's website features banners displaying the team's recent postseason success, black for division titles, blue for league championships. The ValleyCats took a big step Thursday toward adding more blue to the collection.
Houston infield prospect Austin Dennis collected three hits, two RBIs and a run as Tri-City knocked off Mahoning Valley, 8-4, to sweep their best-of-3 New York-Penn League semifinal series. The ValleyCats advanced to their first Championship Series since 2014.
Gameday box score
Tri-City grabbed an early lead on Logan Mattix's leadoff homer to left field in the second inning, but trailed heading into the sixth.
"I thought our guys did a great job of battling," ValleyCats manager Jason Bell said. "I know that may sound cliché, but we hit a home run to go ahead 1-0, and then they came back, went ahead 3-1. We couldn't execute with guys on base, and then the following inning, we had first and second with nobody out, down by two and Oscar Campos was up in a 3-0 count. We decided it was OK to give him the green light, and he hit a base hit that not only scored the one run (Enmanuel Valdez) to make it 3-2, but got the guy from first (Luis Encarnacion) all the way to third with nobody out. It allowed for the big inning to happen."
Four more runs followed. Encarnacion and Campos came across on a two-run double to left by Dennis to give Tri-City the lead for good. Deury Carrasco followed with a two-RBI single to center. The big inning made a winner out of ValleyCats starting pitcher Brett Daniels, who allowed three runs -- two earned -- on six hits over five innings.
"I also thought Brett Daniels did a great job limiting having a big inning a couple times," Bell said. "We had a defensive mistake that led to a couple runs (in the fourth), but it could have been a lot worse. He did a great job at competing and battling through that. That's what was able to keep it at 3-1 instead of 5-1 or 6-1."

Bell needed just one arm out of his bullpen to finish the win. Nivaldo Rodriguez earned the save after giving up one run on two hits over four innings, ensuring a fresh pitching staff for Saturday's opening of the New York-Penn League Championship Series against Hudson Valley.
"For us specifically, we have some really strict pitch counts as I'm sure a lot of teams do in a short season," Bell said. "It saves us from having to use too many guys that then would not become available in those first couple of games. We do have quite a few arms that haven't pitched yet, which can be a good or a bad thing. If you go too many days off, you kind of lose your rhythm, but that's part of playoff baseball. If these guys want to be big league pitchers, that's what can happen at that level too."
The ValleyCats got two insurance runs on a ninth-inning blast to left by Encarnacion. And that put the champions of the Stedler Division one stage away from the biggest celebration of the season.
"I feel like it's been consistency," Bell said. "We haven't had too much of a stretch where we've won a lot or lost a lot in a row. We've always kind of been staying in the middle, trying to win series all throughout the year. More than anything, it's been a situation where it's been next man up. I think we've had over 60 players come through our team this year. I don't know where that ranks as far as other teams in short season, but it has to be toward the top."

Tri-City and Hudson Valley matched up nine times during the regular season with the Renegades winning five of the contests.
"I think it's going to be really exciting," Bell said. "The last game that we played against them (Aug. 25) had a really good playoff atmosphere. It was an extra-innings game where we had a two-run, go-ahead homer in the 10th, and then in the bottom of the 10th, they hit a walk-off, three-run home run. I'm really excited about it. They were the best team in the regular season, so if we want to be the best, we've got to beat the best. I'm really excited about it."
In other New York-Penn League playoff action:
Renegades 7, Doubledays 3
Cleanup hitter Jacson McGowan collected three hits as Hudson Valley finished off the sweep. The first baseman and shortstop Ford Proctor both doubled and drove in two runs. The Renegades also only used two pitchers in the win. Easton McGee gave up three runs -- two earned -- on five hits over 5 1/3 innings and Alan Strong finished off the victory with 3 2/3 scoreless innings. Gameday box score

Playwright Martin McDonagh succeeds in writing, and the actors in Keegan Theatre's cast succeed in delivering, wonderfully fluent and intelligently-written lines for the four characters in A Behanding in Spokane, not one of whom is even remotely a bright bulb. Filled with extended n-word and mf-word riffs worthy of a late-night standup routine, the play gleefully uses its absurdist premise to take on the craziness of racial and gender relations. "Uproariously funny" aptly describes the result; the audience was, indeed, in an uproar of laughter from start to finish.
The setup is this: Carmichael (Mark Rhea), a homicidally-inclined low life, is continuing a 27-year quest for his hand. It was severed, he says, by six hillbillies who placed it on a railroad track as a train was coming by. The hillbillies then waved goodbye to him, with his own hand, from a distance. Ever since, Carmichael has been searching for it around the country, with the obsessiveness of a down-and-out knight doggedly seeking the Holy Grail. Getting wind of his search, Marilyn (Laura Herren) and her black boyfriend Toby (Manu Kumasi) concoct a scheme to palm off on Charmichael, for $500, the hand of an Australian Aborigine lifted from a local museum. Charmichael is distinctly not amused, putting the foolish couple at peril for their lives.
The fourth member of McDonagh's strung-out quartet is Mervyn, the receptionist in the hotel where the action takes place (Bradley Foster Smith). Nosy and suspicious, resentful of perceived assaults on his dignity, and arguably an even odder creature than the others, Smith's Mervyn gets one of the show's two best monologues, having to do with monkeys and high school massacres. Playing perhaps the most thoroughly lost of these meandering souls, Smith also creates a poignant moment or two for his character.
The other outstanding monologue belongs to Rhea, as Carmichael talks at length to his equally unbalanced mother, having to explain, among other things, that the fact that he has a black man in his hotel room does not mean that his racism has lapsed. Reminiscent of Coen brothers-style characters, Rhea's Carmichael can be perfectly straightforward and even logical-sounding in his explanations of his absurd quest and his murderous intentions.
Focused on saving their respective skins, the bumbling con artists Toby and Marilyn try various unsuccessful ways of talking their way out of their unhappy situation, readily blaming one another for their plight, in the Laurel and Hardy "here's another nice mess you've gotten me into" tradition. Kumasi's Toby tries bravado and fast talk; Herren's Marilyn tries cuteness; nothing much works, and McDonagh makes sure that each of their attempts at extricating themselves only digs them deeper into trouble.
Director Colin Smith keeps the characters distinct, the ensemble playing smooth, the timing crisp, and the physical comedy flowing (my favorite bits were the volleys of shoes and other objects Toby and Marilyn, while handcuffed to the radiator, chuck at a candle Carmichael has placed in a gasoline can while he has left the room). Smith also designed the set, a seedy hotel room complete with torn and stained wallpaper, peeling paint on the radiator, and a smudgy window through which characters exit to a fire escape. Carol Baker and Katrina Wiskup also deserve credit for believable set dressings (especially worn-looking bedding and an obsolete phone) and excellent, well-used hand props.

Study shows rising rates of hospitalization in the homeless
November 30, 2019 - Hospitalization rates among homeless adults have increased sharply in recent years, with a very different set of causes from those in non-homeless individuals, reports a study in the January issue of Medical Care. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
"Despite greater policy and public health focus over the last few decades, mental illness and substance use disorder still remain the primary drivers of acute hospitalizations among homeless adults," according to the new research, led by by Rishi Wadhera, MD, MPhil, of the Smith Center for Outcomes Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston. The authors discuss the implications for policies to improve healthcare and outcomes for homeless Americans.
Data from Three States Show 'Urgent Need' to Improve Care for Homeless Adults
The researchers assessed trends in hospital admissions for homeless adults from 2007 to 2013 in three states: Massachusetts, Florida, and California. The analysis included data on more than 185,000 hospitalizations for homeless individuals and 32 million admissions for non-homeless individuals. The two groups were standardized for demographic characteristics: average age was 46 years, 76 percent were male, and 62 percent were white.
All three states showed a significant increase in hospitalizations for homeless adults: from 294 to 420 per 1,000 homeless residents in Massachusetts, from 161 to 240 per 1,000 in Florida, and from 133 to 164 per 1,000 in California. Most homeless patients were uninsured (42 percent) or insured by Medicaid (32 percent).
Fifty-two percent of homeless patients were hospitalized for mental illness or substance use disorder, compared to 18 percent for non-homeless individuals. Other reasons for hospitalization were less likely in homeless individuals, including cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal illness, and injury or poisoning.
Homeless individuals spent more days in the hospital - possibly because discharge decisions were affected by their lack of stable housing. They also had lower average costs of care, which may reflect differences in the intensity of care. In-hospital mortality was lower among homeless adults: 0.9 versus 1.2 percent.
"In the United States, an estimated 553,000 people are homeless on any given night," according to the authors. Recent years have seen intensified efforts to address the health of the homeless population, including Medicaid expansion and increased funding for healthcare centers and clinical services under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Few studies have looked at how these policy initiatives have affected patterns of hospitalization among homeless people.
"We found that hospitalizations among homeless persons are rising," said Dr. Wadhera. "We think this is related to aging of the homeless population, and potentially, the rise of the opioid epidemic. Strikingly, more than half of hospitalizations for homeless adults were for mental health and substance use disorders, which we suspect reflects limited access to and coordination of behavioral health services." Expanded mental health and substance use disorder services under the ACA, as well as newer integrated healthcare delivery approaches, might help to improve provision of behavioral health services to homeless patients, the authors suggest.
"There is really is an urgent need to reduce financial and nonfinancial barriers to the use of ambulatory care, for behavioral health services in particular, to improve long-term management of physical and mental illness for homeless individuals," said senior author Karen Joynt Maddox, MD, MPH, of Washington University in St. Louis. "We need better longitudinal data and further studies to understand how Medicaid expansion and other policy initiatives affect the health of this highly vulnerable population."

On Teachers' Day, White House announces STEM training milestone
Launched five years ago, the 100Kin10 network aims to train 100,000 science, technology, engineering, and math teachers. But can schools retain them?

As Americans mark Teachers' Day on Tuesday, President Barack Obama announced that 30,000 "excellent" new science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teachers have been trained, but their peers in the field worry that without major systemic changes, this crop may soon wither.
Five years ago, in response to the president's initiative, the 100Kin10 network was launched with funding from Carnegie Corporation of New York. This network of corporations, schools, and nonprofits set the ambitious goal of training 100,000 new STEM educators by 2021.
According to a press statement Tuesday, some 280 national partners, across all 50 states, have collectively pledged more than $90 million to support the development and ongoing support of 100,000 new STEM teachers.
These partners have committed to "recruiting, training, placing, supporting, and advancing teachers, promoting policy change, providing funding, and telling the STEM story," according to the statement.
The initiative seeks to address a potentially dire shortage of STEM teachers in the United States in the coming decades. According to data gathered from 1.8 million students in the high school graduating class of 2014 who took ACT exams, barely 5,500 said they were interested in teaching science or math.

"It's a systemic problem. Students don't come to college wanting to be teachers because they have had bad experiences with their teachers in high school," says Arthur Bowman, a professor of biology at Norfolk State University and a science education consultant for the NASA, in a telephone interview.
Dr. Bowman adds that students are swayed by salary concerns.
"Become a finance person and make $100,000. Become a teacher make $30,000," he says. "Right now as we're talking look at what we're doing in Detroit to teachers and we have a 'sick-out.' What message is that sending to students about being a teacher of any kind?"
On Tuesday only three of Detroit's 97 schools were open, as teachers staged their second day of protests over pay.
What's more, even after a STEM teacher is attracted to the field, trained, and hired, there is still the matter of retaining that teacher.
"Science teachers have many reasons to leave, namely low salaries, too much testing, lack of resources, and lack of support from administrators," National Science Teachers Association's executive director, David Evans writes in an email.
One solution to teacher retention is convincing them to continue their education and join professional associations for support.
"Those who graduate and never go to a professional conference, never go to another training, never join an organization, those are the ones who, unfortunately, do not remain relevant in the classroom and are the ones most likely to leave the field," says Michael Daugherty, Chair of the International STEM Education Association and head the University of Arkansas's Department of Curriculum and Instruction, in a phone interview. "The research shows that the more teachers are engaged professionally the more likely they are to stay in the field."
In addition to his own organization, Dr. Daugherty recommends the International Technology and Engineering Educators' Association and the National Science Teachers' Association, among others, all of which allow teachers to network, find mentors, and learn about developments in the field.
"Unfortunately, a number of these teachers are lured away to other fields where their STEM education is valued," Dr. Evans writes. "NSTA is working with new teachers, and veteran teachers alike, to provide them with the support and resources they need to help them succeed in the classroom."
But Daugherty cautions that this generation of teachers may be its own worst enemy, "Across the board, most association leaders will tell you that this generation are really non-joiners. Maybe it's the online culture."
Another impediment to retention is the nature of the high-stakes testing environments these newly minted educators will be thrust into.
"High-stakes testing is a problem. I understand it. You want to know how your students are doing. Unfortunately, it pulls teachers away from some of the more creative ways of teaching," Daugherty says. "Because they're so concerned about their students' performance on the test they tend to just teach to the test, rather than teaching the content. Sometimes to teach the content you need creative methodology and a problem-based learning situation, rather than you just writing the formula on the board for them."

That loss of creativity may explain not only why teachers are leaving but also why more students do not aspire to follow in their STEM teachers' footsteps.
Dr. Bowman concludes, "When they think of teaching they think of the teachers they had in high school. If all they see is someone who's unhappy and teaching to the test that's not saying much for teaching."
