1A Remaking America: What happens when your state's politics don't match your city's?
WAMU 88.5 | By Haili Blassingame
People vote during the Primary Election Day at P.S. 249 The Caton School in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn borough in New York City.
It's election day and voters are headed to the polls to vote in congressional and gubernatorial races across the country.
For many, voting is a chance to make sure their voices are heard. But full and fair representation can feel out of reach depending on where you live and the party that dominates your district.
We're camping out on so-called "political islands." These are cities or counties whose political demographics don't align with the states in which they're located.
We discuss why living in these political islands can be frustrating but important for democracy.
This conversation is part of our Remaking America collaboration with six public radio stations, including KUT in Austin, Texas, and KVPR in Fresno, California. Remaking America is funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Sinus problems can leave you tired and feeling miserable, with a stuffed up head, dizziness, headaches, facial tenderness – even your teeth can hurt. When we have exhausted other options, such as medication or lifestyle changes, sinus surgery can alleviate pain and help you breathe easier. Today's sinus surgery uses the latest micro-technology and computer-aided imagery. We perform a variety of surgical techniques at ACMC, all with your comfort and recovery in mind.
Contrary to what some patients ask, we cannot remove your sinuses. They are necessary. They create mucus that moisturizes your nasal passages and keeps out dirt, infectious organisms, and pollutants. When your sinuses become congested, the airflow within the sinuses can be reduced or blocked, causing headaches, sinus pressure, and reduction in mucus drainage. Reduced mucus drainage can lead to an increase of bacteria, which can cause a sinus infection. We treat this with medication, but it is the blockage – not the bacteria – that is the root cause of the sinus infection. Having a single sinus infection is not a reason to worry. You can get an infection following a severe cold or the flu. It is with the recurring, or chronic, sinus infection that we need do further testing to see what is causing congestion and blockage. Is it a deviated septum, narrow sinuses, blocked sinuses, the result of an injury? Surgery may be the best option to open the sinus pathways. Sinus surgery ranges from simply removing the blockage to cutting away damaged tissue or nasal polyps to repositioning a deviated septum.
At ACMC, we use various technology to help ensure patient safety and improve a patient's recovery period. An endoscope is a fiber-optic tube which is inserted into the nose and sinuses. Micro-instruments and a viewing scope can be used to see and perform the surgery. We also use image-guided endoscopic surgery, which entails using CT scans and other images to navigate the sinus passages to remove tissue or blockages.
The benefit to the patient is a potentially shorter recovery time. Some patients have reported less pain. The surgery is performed locally, so you can stay close to home for your recovery.
The real benefit is that in a short period of time, you can be breathing easier with less discomfort.
ACMC Ear, Nose, and Throat specialists Michael Papsidero, MD, and Steve Hunyadi, MD, see patients full-time at ACMC. To schedule an appointment, call 440-997-6960.


The risk level for different types of accidents can vary over the course of the year. It is important for drivers to be aware of what particular times of the year particular driving risks can be especially high. It is also important to drive in a manner that properly takes into account the risks specific to the current time of year. This kind of vigilance may help prevent accidents, which is a very important goal given the high costs, both human and financial, of traffic crashes.
Here in Michigan, one of the types of motor vehicle accidents that has a particularly high occurrence risk this time of year are deer-related accidents. The Michigan Deer Crash Coalition estimates that, last year, the deer-related car accident total of the October to November period made up 42 percent of the entire year's total of such crashes (the year's total was 45,690 accidents). A variety of factors, including the mating patterns of deer, contribute to the high level of car-deer accidents in the state during this part of the year.
Keeping an eye out for deer, particularly at dawn and dusk.
If a deer is spotted, slowing down in case other deer are in the vicinity.
Being awake and alert out on the roads.
Avoiding swerving if a collision with a deer cannot be avoided, as swerving could cause the accident to involve more vehicles.
Among the reasons why taking deer-car crash prevention steps is so important is that these crashes can take a very big toll. It is estimated that over 1,000 people were hurt in such accidents in Michigan last year. Also, it is estimated that, annually, at least $130 million worth of damage is caused in the state by such crashes.
How vigilant do you think Michigan drivers, in general, are when it comes to deer-car accident prevention in autumn? What areas do you think they generally need to get better at in this regard?

Some states are spending millions in state funds on the 2020 census, Texas isn't spending any
EL PASO, Texas -- It's a new year and a new decade, which means it is time for another census population count. The county is used to help plan for community services and determine how many seats each state is given in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The 2020 Census will cost billions of dollars. Much of that funding will come from the federal government, but grants from nonprofits and funding from local and state governments also play a role.
Roughly half of the states in the U.S. are spending about $350 million collectively in state funds. The other states, including Texas, are spending none. On the higher end, California is spending alone roughly $187 million. New York is designating roughly $60 million.
El Paso-area census representatives say they will rely in part on grants from nonprofits, and the dedication of staff assisting with the count.
"Even with very little funding they're able to get people motivated because they speak the local languages, they are trusted voices, they're able to communicate to those hard to count communities that the census is not only safe but its important," said Paulina Lopez, a U.S. Census Bureau senior partnership specialist.
Lopez says locally, the City of El Paso and El Paso County have designated about $340,000. Beyond that, Lopez says the count will utilize resources already available.
"I think it's being strategic about how can we reach our communities," Lopez said, "what languages do they speak and what messages resonate best with them? Using already existing resources for example social media."
This year marks the first time people will be able to fill out the census in traditional paper format, over the phone with a live person and online.

Please note that SA Yorkie Rescue has just launched a brand new App for your Android device. Please download it if you are looking to adopt or surrender a Yorkie.
This App was developed to get instant notifications as a new Yorkie becomes available for adoption as well as to make it easier to complete necessary forms to adopt or surrender your Yorkshire Terrier.
"The confiscated dogs in our care are doing well. They are NOT up for adoption, as we have to await the outcome of the court proceedings. The investigation is still ongoing."
This is an update given by the Tswane Spca on 30 March 2015 after 30 out of 300 dogs were confiscated at well known breeder Renee Visage's house in Kameeldrift, just outside Pretoria.
The entire world is shocked and came to a standstill and we demand answers, without interfering with the legal process. We thus urge you to tell us what your intentions and modes operandi is regarding the remaining 270 dogs, still living in those horrendous conditions.
The fact is that there are many out there, and if you paint a bad picture of those who surrender them, they will stop surrendering their Yorkies and you won't hear of them any longer.
As with any other breed, we need people to surrender their Yorkshire Terriers to give the dog the best life possible.
Please read this article to better understand this: Where do Rescue Yorkies come from?
The yorkies are doing well! - are going quickly to good homes!
S A Yorkie Rescue is having a wonderful amount of interest in our orphans. We were concerned, but so far we are having no problem finding homes for our friends.
We are unfortunately not able to help everyone immediately. We need to take enough time to treat each yorkie as an individual, to understand their own particular personality and habits. We do not know all the dogs' backgrounds, ages etc. and therefore request patience on the part of our yorkie rescuers.
There are some young dogs that are helping to pay the bills, and there are many older ones that need special care and attention. For example we have one old blind girl, she loves to be spoken to and played with.
We would ideally like all the dogs to be spayed or neutered upon leaving the premises, but since that is not possible right now we need to be extra vigilant about finding responsible owners.
Thank you to everyone who is willing to take on a rescue, whether it is a younger dog which helps to pay our kennelling costs or an older dog that requires more of your time for their special care and attention that they deserve.


Under prior law, a portion of a child's unearned income was taxed at the parent's marginal rate, which could be as high as 39.6%. Unearned income included capital gains, dividends, and interest income. Earned income from a job or self-employment income, however, was never subject to the kiddie tax rules. This methodology meant that a if a child had sufficient amount of unearned income, that child's tax return could not be filed until the parent's tax return was completed, and if there were multiple children, all of those returns had to be completed at the same time.
Under the TCJA, the child's unearned income is now taxed at the federal income tax rates applicable to trusts and estates rather than at their parent's marginal tax rate. Because the tax rates for trusts and estates hit the top tax rate of 37% at lower levels of income than the tax rates for individuals, there is the potential for the child's tax liability under the TCJA to be higher than it would have been under prior law.
The child can still claim a standard deduction equal to the greater of (a) $1,050 or (b) earned income plus $350, not to exceed $12,000.
The kiddie tax still applies to a child who does not file a joint return for the year, and one or both of the child's parents are alive at the end of the year.
The child's unearned income exceeds $2,100 (for 2018), and the child has positive taxable income after subtracting the standard deduction and any other applicable deductions. Note that only the excess unearned income will be taxed at the trust and estate tax rates.
Age 17 or younger – kiddie tax applies if #1 - #3 above are satisfied.
Age 18 – kiddie tax applies if #1 - #3 above are satisfied and the child does not have earned income that exceeds half of their support.
Age 19-23 – kiddie tax applies if #1 - #3 above are satisfied, the child does not have earned income that exceeds half of their support, and the child is a full-time student for at least 5 months of the year.


If she truly is an anime fan then I would like to see proof from a while ago. Perhaps she just became a fan and as a result she fell in love with anime so much she wanted to express that by coloring her hair pink. So do you think we will see Kim Kardashian West do some cosplay next? If so what would you like to see her cosplay as? Let us know in the comments down below.


Sometimes you've got to embrace the concept of "junking up" a recipe, and that's just what a slew of my favorite food writers decided to do in honor of one gorgeous mama and her baby shower.
Many of my favorite foodie bloggers are spread out all over the country and since most of us rarely get to see each other in person we're throwing a virtual baby shower for the hilariously sweet and ready-to-pop, Jessica Merchant, of How Sweet It Is. We decided for the event that we would "trash up" recipes for Jessica. Why? If you're familiar with Jessica's awesome site you would totally get it. It's filled with recipes that run the gamut from healthy to comfort food, but always with a major twist.
My contribution to the shower are these Trashed Up Mexican Pizza Pockets. Going beyond what you'd expect to find in a pizza pocket they're stuffed with roast chicken, beans, cheese, salsa and more. But don't let me limit your creativity. Fill them to the brim with any other Mexican flavors you love or whatever you might have sitting in your fridge that you think would work. I made these for dinner one night and even put a few in the kids lunch the next day (yes, they're also yummy at room temperature) and both of their lunch boxes returned empty.
I'll have to remind Jessica about making these fun hand-held pockets when her impending bundle gets a bit older, but hopefully until then she can whip them up to satisfy her pregnancy cravings!
2. Divide the pizza dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll out each piece to a 6x6 inch rectangle.
3. In a bowl, combine the chicken, beans, cheese, and salsa, and stir to combine well.
4. Spoon filling onto one half of each dough rectangle, fold dough in half over the filling, and using a fork press the edges to seal.
5. Place pizza pockets on a greased baking sheet, brush with oil and bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
How fun are these pizza pockets!?!?! I know that Jessica will love these... and one day her kiddo will too!
YESSSS. Catherine, seriously. I love this. Thank you so much for being a part of today!
These are genius!! Gotta make them for my kids - and me - asap!
I love these! A totally Jess take on pizza pockets, and even a little healthy too. Perfect to throw in the freezer for easy meals and snacks.
any fun ideas to replace the chicken?
I need to make these for lunch today, this post made me hungry!
What a fun idea! Can't remember the last time I had a pizza pocket!
Homemade pizza pockets sound like the best thing everrr. Thank you so much for joining Jess's shower + sharing this recipe!
I can't to bite into this savory pizza pocket!

AUSTRAC releases junket tour operations money laundering and terrorism financing risk assessment
AUSTRAC has today launched its money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) risk assessment of the junket tour operations (JTOs) sector.
AUSTRAC assesses that the JTO sector faces multiple criminal threats and the overall ML/TF risk is high.
The assessment concludes that the main criminal threat facing the JTOs sector is money laundering. The assessment also found that patronage by high risk customers from foreign jurisdictions is a key vulnerability associated with junkets.
In producing the assessment, AUSTRAC engaged with casinos, banks and State and Commonwealth regulatory and law enforcement agencies, to collect information and insights about criminal threats, vulnerabilities and consequences related to junket operations.
The information in this assessment will assist casinos to assess their level of risk, strengthen their controls and report suspicious activity to AUSTRAC. It will also assist law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
AUSTRAC CEO, Nicole Rose PSM said that AUSTRAC expects Australian casinos and associated sectors to use this assessment to protect their businesses and the Australian community from criminal threats.
"Money laundering and financial crime enables serious criminal activity such as drug trafficking and human trafficking which causes harm to our communities.
"The information contained in this risk assessment shows that junkets are highly vulnerable to criminal misuse and Australian casinos must do more to mitigate ML/TF risks. I urge casinos to take prompt action by assessing their levels of risk posed by junket operations, strengthening their controls and reporting suspicious activity to AUSTRAC," Ms Rose said.
This risk assessment is the latest in a series of money laundering and terrorism financing risk assessments developed to assist Australian industry to identify, understand and disrupt serious criminal activity targeting Australia's financial system and community.
AUSTRAC's assessment of junket tour operations assessed financial data and intelligence for the period from April 2018 to March 2019, a period when junket tours were highly active. Due to international border closures there has been a significant reduction in JTO activity in Australian casinos this year.
The Junket Tour Operations in Australia: Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Risk Assessment can be found on the AUSTRAC website.
Email: media@austrac.gov.au
In September 2018, the Australian Government announced the provision of $5.175 million to AUSTRAC to undertake an expanded three-year program of work to deliver risk assessments that focus on Australia's largest sectors: banking, gambling and remittance services.
A junket is an arrangement between a casino and a junket tour operator (JTO) to facilitate a period of gambling by one, or a group, of players at a casino. In return for bringing the players to the casino, the casino pays the JTO a commission based on the collective gambling activity of players on the junket.
About AUSTRAC
AUSTRAC (the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre) is the Australian Government agency responsible for detecting, deterring and disrupting criminal abuse of the financial system to protect the community from serious and organised crime.
Through strong regulation, and enhanced intelligence capabilities, AUSTRAC collects and analyses financial reports and information to generate financial intelligence.

150 Farm and Water Organizations Alert Policymakers of an Obvious Crisis in the Making: Water and Food Shortages
Creator: Ron Lute
A group of more than 150 water and agricultural organizations recently wrote a letter Congress and the White House to urge action to address the inadequate and aging water infrastructure throughout California and much of the West. The group simply requested that any future economic stimulus package for infrastructure should include water storage, desalination, recycling and other projects.
But this is a bigger story in light of the COVID-19 crisis , which caught everyone off guard and unprepared — but the same cannot be said of California's ongoing unresolved water supply problems.
It's a ticking time bomb that we've known about for decades — not months. The pandemic has shed light on the increasing need to ensure a safe, secure, and reliable domestic food supply.
The state — known for innovation — is relying on a plumbing system from more than 50 years ago that has had no substantial upgrades. A system designed to accommodate a population of 16-million people is no match in a state of 40 million.
It is an obvious future crisis that no one ever seems to care much about until drought years — when the only solution is draconian water conservation mandates that never resolve the core issues. Then after one winter's worth of heavy rains, our policymakers disappear into denial and forget about the urgent need to deal with water.
According to the letter: "As hydrological conditions in the West change and populations continue to expand, failure to address water security has become increasingly critical…..moving water away from Western irrigated agriculture will surely contribute to the decline of our national food security."

The Civic Mission of Schools
For more than 250 years, Americans have shared a vision of a democracy in which all citizens understand, appreciate, and engage actively in civic and political life. In recent decades, however, increasing numbers of Americans have disengaged from civic and political institutions such as voluntary associations, religious congregations, community-based organizations, and political and electoral activities such as voting and being informed about public issues. Young people reflect these trends: they are less likely to vote and are less interested in political discussion and public issues than either their older counterparts or young people of past decades. As a result, many young Americans may not be prepared to participate fully in our democracy now and when they become adults.
Recognizing that individuals do not automatically become free and responsible citizens but must be educated for citizenship, scholars; teachers; civic leaders; local, state, and federal policymakers; and federal judges, have with the encouragement of the president of the United States, called for new strategies that can capitalize on young people's idealism and their commitment to service and voluntarism while addressing their disengagement from political and civic institutions. One of the most promising approaches to increase young people's informed engagement is school-based civic education.
In late 2002, the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) and Carnegie Corporation of New York, in consultation with the Corporation for National and Community Service, convened a series of meetings involving some of the nation's most distinguished and respected scholars and practitioners in this area to determine, based on solid data and evidence, the components of effective and feasible civic education programs. Representing a diversity of political views, a variety of disciplines, and various approaches, these individuals disagree about some aspects of how civic education should be conducted, but nevertheless share a common vision of a richer, more comprehensive approach to civic education in the United States. This report is a powerful statement of their vision.
GOALS OF CIVIC EDUCATION
Civic education should help young people acquire and learn to use the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will prepare them to be competent and responsible citizens throughout their lives. Competent and responsible citizens:
are informed and thoughtful; have a grasp and an appreciation of history and the fundamental processes of American democracy; have an understanding and awareness of public and community issues; and have the ability to obtain information, think critically, and enter into dialogue among others with different perspectives.
participate in their communities through membership in or contributions to organizations working to address an array of cultural, social, political, and religious interests and beliefs.
act politically by having the skills, knowledge, and commitment needed to accomplish public purposes, such as group problem solving, public speaking, petitioning and protesting, and voting.
have moral and civic virtues such as concern for the rights and welfare of others, social responsibility, tolerance.
WHY SCHOOLS ARE IMPORTANT VENUES FOR CIVIC EDUCATION
It is crucial for the future health of our democracy that all young people, including those who are usually marginalized, be knowledgeable, engaged in their communities and in politics, and committed to the public good.
Encouraging the development of civic skills and attitudes among young people has been an important goal of education and was the primary impetus for originally establishing public schools.
Schools are the only institutions with the capacity and mandate to reach virtually every young person in the country. Of all institutions, schools are the most systematically and directly responsible for imparting citizen norms.
Schools are best equipped to address the cognitive aspects of good citizenship — civic and political knowledge and related skills such as critical thinking and deliberation.
Schools are communities in which young people learn to interact, argue, and work together with others, an important foundation for future citizenship.
Many non-school institutions that used to provide venues for young people to participate in civic and political affairs (such as political parties, unions, nonprofit associations, and activist religious denominations) have lost the capacity or will to engage young people. Schools, as major community institutions, can help reverse this trend and have an impact on other institutions (political, economic, religious, and family), by providing quality education that improves young people's civic knowledge, skills, and intentions to vote and volunteer.
Forty state constitutions mention the importance of civic literacy among citizens, and 13 of them state that a central purpose of their educational system is to promote good citizenship, democracy and free government.
WHY THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TIME FOR SCHOOLS TO FOCUS ON CIVIC EDUCATION
Schools can capitalize on several positive trends related to youth civic engagement, including an increase in the number of young people involved in community service and volunteering and in the percentage of young people who are tolerant and committed to free speech.
Schools can help address disturbing trends related to youth civic engagement, including a decrease in young people's interest in political discussion and public issues; their tendency to be more cynical and alienated from formal politics, more materialistic, and less trusting; and a decline in their voter participation rates.
School-based civic education is in decline. Most formal civic education today comprises only a single semester course on government — compared to as many as three courses in democracy, civics, and government that were common until the 1960s.
Numerous factors work against even the best intentions educators may have to promote civic engagement among young people. These obstacles include fear of criticism and litigation if educators address topics that may be considered controversial or political in nature; pressures to meet the goals of high-stakes testing, which now measures reading and mathematics skills (civic education is rarely included); and budget cutbacks in extracurricular programs that help children gain civic skills and attitudes.
SIX PROMISING APPROACHES TO CIVIC EDUCATION
Research shows that schools can help to develop competent and responsible citizens when they:
Provide instruction in government, history, law, and democracy. Formal instruction in U.S. government, history, and democracy increases civic knowledge. This is a valuable goal in itself and may also contribute to young people's tendency to engage in civic and political activities over the long term. However, schools should avoid teaching only rote facts about dry procedures, which is unlikely to benefit students and may actually alienate them from politics.
Incorporate discussion of current local, national, and international issues and events into the classroom, particularly those that young people view as important to their lives. When young people have opportunities to discuss current issues in a classroom setting, they tend to have greater interest in politics, improved critical thinking and communications skills, more civic knowledge, and more interest in discussing public affairs out of school. Conversations, however, should be carefully moderated so that students feel welcome to speak from a variety of perspectives. Teachers need support in broaching controversial issues in classrooms since they may risk criticism or sanctions if they do so.
Design and implement programs that provide students with the opportunity to apply what they learn through performing community service that is linked to the formal curriculum and classroom instruction. Service programs are now common in K-12 schools. The ones that best develop engaged citizens are linked to the curriculum; consciously pursue civic outcomes, rather than seek only to improve academic performance or to promote higher self-esteem; allow students to engage in meaningful work on serious public issues; give students a role in choosing and designing their projects; provide students with opportunities to reflect on the service work; allow students — especially older ones — to pursue political responses to problems consistent with laws that require public schools to be nonpartisan; and see service-learning as part of a broader philosophy toward education, not just a program that is adopted for a finite period in a particular course.
Offer extracurricular activities that provide opportunities for young people to get involved in their schools or communities. Long term studies of Americans show that those who participate in extracurricular activities in high school remain more civically engaged than their contemporaries even decades later. Thus, everyone should have opportunities to join high school groups, and such participation should be valued.
Encourage student participation in school governance. A long tradition of research suggests that giving students more opportunities to participate in the management of their own classrooms and schools builds their civic skills and attitudes. Thus, giving students a voice in school governance is a promising way to encourage all young people to engage civically.
Encourage students' participation in simulations of democratic processes and procedures. Recent evidence indicates that simulations of voting, trials, legislative deliberation, and diplomacy in schools can lead to heightened political knowledge and interest. The data are not conclusive, but these approaches show promise and should be considered when developing programs and curriculum.
This report concludes with numerous recommendations for schools and school systems, state and national policymakers, colleges and universities, researchers, and private funders. Following are some major recommendations in brief form:
Schools should work with state education departments and local school district officials to develop and establish civic education curricula based on combinations of the six promising approaches noted above. These curricula should be parts of every student's school experience at every grade level.
School administrators should allow and encourage educators to facilitate discussions of complex and/or controversial current events and issues in the classroom.
The federal government should increase the amount of federal funding available to states for civic education. The government should further consider establishing a new federal entity with responsibility for civic education, perhaps a "National Civic Education Foundation," which would commission research on civic education, encourage the development of model programs, help design and implement curricula, and serve as a national clearinghouse on civic education for teachers and schools across the country.
Standards should be implemented for civic education. This can be done by 1) more frequently offering the National Assessment of Educational Progress's (NAEP) Civics Assessment, in states as well as nationally, and/or 2) reexamining existing state social studies and civic education standards with a goal of ensuring that the promising approaches and goals of civic education outlined in this report are realized by the establishment of supportive standards and curricular policies.
Schools of education should strengthen the civic dimensions of pre-service and in-service education for teachers and administrators. Those who are already working in schools should also be offered the opportunity to acquire continuing education credits related to civic education so that they can become more skilled at inculcating the civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes students need to become responsible and engaged citizens.
Researchers should develop and implement more rigorous studies (including longitudinal research) about effective service-learning and other civic education approaches. Researchers should also develop indicators for civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes at each phase of K-12 schooling.
Funders should support efforts to build national and state coalitions of educators, policymakers, parents, young people, and community leaders to advocate for better and more civic education in schools.
This report provides a framework for creating more effective civic education programs in our schools and represents, for the first time, consensus about this issue among the nation's leading scholars and practitioners. We hope that the concrete recommendations provided in this report will help us move from rhetorical expressions of concern about youth civic engagement to implementing richer and more comprehensive civic education programs that will not only help schools fulfill their civic missions, but also ensure that young Americans have the tools they need to participate fully in the political and civic processes that are the hallmark of U.S. democracy.
For more than 250 years, Americans have shared a vision of a democracy in which all citizens understand, appreciate, and engage actively in civic and political life — taking responsibility for building communities, contributing their diverse talents and energies to solve local and national problems, deliberating about public issues, influencing public policy, voting, and pursuing the common good. Americans know that it is a rare and precious gift to live in a society that permits and values such participation.
In recent decades, concern has grown about the increasing numbers of Americans who are disengaging from civic and political institutions such as voluntary associations, religious congregations, and community-based organizations. This disengagement extends to political and electoral processes such as voting and being informed about public issues.
In many ways, young people reflect these trends. Americans under the age of 25 are less likely to vote than either their older counterparts or young people of past decades. Surveys have shown that they are not as interested in political discussion and public issues as past generations were at the same point in their lives. In addition, there are gaps in young people's knowledge of fundamental democratic principles and processes. As a result, many young Americans are not prepared to participate fully in our democracy now and when they become adults.
At the same time, young people are volunteering and participating in community activities at high rates. Some experts, in fact, argue that this generation is among the most engaged in history, evidenced by the growing number of young people involved in community-based civic renewal or volunteer projects.
Recognizing that individuals do not automatically become free and responsible citizens but must be educated for citizenship, there has been in recent years a growing call for new strategies that can capitalize on young people's idealism while addressing their disengagement from political and civic institutions so that we can better preserve and enhance America's tradition of citizen involvement. How to achieve this goal, however, has been a matter of considerable debate among experts representing various perspectives and disciplines. Political scientists, for example, focus on the political; educators focus on what happens in or near the classroom; service-learning advocates focus on service and volunteering; and youth development specialists focus on the developmental experience of the young person.
In short, there has been common interest in increasing youth civic engagement but no common ground as to how to do this effectively.


My father turned thirty years old. He was coming back from a business trip and my mother had planned a surprise party for him. My mother was twenty six and stunning. Like most women of the nineties she found herself a fan of the Jimmy Buffet/Tommy Bahama islander look. She had long blond hair and tan skin. She worn a thin white tunic with some blue jeans. She has never been the type to wear a lot of make up so her skin was lightened with a little powder and plumb colored blush. Light blue eyes brighten her face and she scurries around the house making sure everyone is in their place.
The car pulls up. We hear my Grandpa and Dad coming around the back. You hear my Grandpa bitching about the garage door being jammed and they have to go through the backyard door. They come around the corner and we all shout the classic "SURPRISE".
My father the strongest, bravest, gladiator of a man I know is moved to tears as his family and friends congratulate him on the accomplishment. Knowing more about my father's history it is a accomplishment he made it all the way to thirty. His eyes scan the yard for my mother who waits until he has said the "hi, how are yous" and "thanks for coming out's". Then he hugs her and looks at her lovingly knowing that she gets stressed when putting these things together. I am sitting on my aunt's lap and get up quickly to say hi. My hair naturally a golden blond and unlike my mothers my eye's are dark and stubborn. I greet my father with Happy Birthday. He picks me up and kisses me and looks around for my younger sisters. We all sit outside for the rest of the evening until it get's dark and people start to fade away.
I remember being a little girl afraid for evenings like these to end. Afraid that moments like those would never happen again. I'm still afraid of that as a adult woman. The only difference now is I am no longer naturally blond.

LettUs Grow Raises $3.1M for Its Indoor Aeroponic Farming System
Bristol, UK-based agtech company LettUs Grow announced today it has raised £2.35 million (~$3.1 million USD) for its indoor aeroponic farming system, according to a press release. The round was led by Longwall Venture Partners LLP and brings LettUs Grow's total funding to roughly $4.1 million.
The company, which was founded in 2015, has a patent-pending indoor farming system that relies on aeroponics and software to grow plants. Many vertical farms currently grow crops using hydroponic farming, where plants are rooted in a soilless medium and fed nutrient-enriched water. Aeroponics more or less lets the plant roots hang in the air, where they are periodically doused with a nutrient-enhanced mist.
LettUs Grow's system also has a software component, which automates the bulk of the farming work. Called Ostara, the software controls the entire farm, automating temperature and light control as well as when nutrients are delivered to plants. The system also collects data on crops from seed stage to harvest, which growers can analyze and use to improve their farm operations. The entire Ostara system can be controlled remotely.
Like a number of other indoor agtech systems coming to market, LettUs Grow's farms are modular, which means businesses can add to them over time. Sizes start at 24 square meters (about 258 square feet). While they wouldn't fit inside an apartment, they're ideal candidates for unused indoor space at schools, hospitals, universities, and other institutions that would benefit from having an onsite farm.
A number of other indoor farming companies now use aeroponics to grow leafy greens, strawberries, and other crops. AeroFarms, based in New Jersey, is one of the most well-known entities out there. French startup Agricool and Denver, CO-based Altius Farms are a couple more among a growing number of examples.
LettUs Grow has one growing facility running, which the company built in 2019. With the new funds, it will build out a second location, scale their existing technology, and develop new product lines to bring to market.
Is the Singapore Airlines-AeroFarms Deal an Anomaly or the Future of In-Flight Greens?
Singapore Airlines' partnership with AeroFarms is cleared for takeoff. As of next month, the airline will offer AeroFarms leafy greens as part of the meals on its non-stop flight from NYC's Newark airport to Singapore.
The two companies first announced the partnership in March of this year, and have been prepping for launch ever since.
AeroFarms, headquartered in New Jersey, grows different leafy greens using aeroponics that mist the roots of plants with nutrients, water, and oxygen. Like other forms of indoor farming, there is no soil or sunlight required to grow the plants. AeroFarms is considered something of a heavyweight in the vertical farming space, having been named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list in 2019. The company also just raised $100 million in fresh funding in July.
Right now, greens farmed indoors via aeroponics or hydroponics is a trendy topic in the food world, and a popular purchase item among those with some disposable income. Given that, it's something of a no-brainer that Singapore Airlines — known for its ridiculously upscale experience — would be the first airline to start carrying these products. The NYC-to-Singapore flight is also the longest nonstop flight in the world and done with the Airbus A350-900, a massive, ultra-long-range plane built to accommodate lengthy flights that require multiple meals for passengers. Since this trip in particular is all about the premium travel experience (there's not even an economy class), Singapore Airlines already offers passengers perks like a nutrition-focused menu designed by wellness folks at Canyon Ranch spa. Vertically grown greens fit right in.
As to whether such greens will show up on the average flight between, say Toledo and San Antonio, the answer is, probably not.
Companies are still trying to find ways to scale vertical farming operations to meet greater demand, but from both a spacial and economical perspective, that hasn't happened yet. As well, most domestic flights have neither the time nor the money to offer full meals, let alone gourmet ones. When there's any food on offer, it's usually vacuum-sealed or shrink-wrapped. It was certainly not chosen by nutritionists at a spa.
So if you're planning on splurging for a Singapore airlines flight in the near future, let us know how the greens taste with your dinner. For the rest of us, a $5 can of Pringles will have to do.
Scientists in Antarctica Grow Food Without Soil or Sunlight — Get Ready, Mars
Astronauts, you had better like salad.
AP News reported last week that a team of scientists at Germany's Neumayer Station III in Antarctica had successfully grown their first crop of produce without any soil, sunlight, or pesticides. The goal of the project was to explore food growing methods for use on outer space missions.
In total the researchers harvested eight pounds of salad greens, including swiss chard, 18 cucumbers, and 70 radishes — enough for quite the veg-heavy feast. And this crop just the beginning. The German Aerospace Center said last Thursday that its scientists hope to harvest up to 11 pounds of produce per week by May.
The vegetables were grown inside a shipping container, which arrived in the Antarctic in January of 2018. The plants are grown through aeroponics, a method of cultivation that doesn't require soil or sunlight. Instead, plants receive nutrients via a liquid (made of nutrient solution and filtered water piped into the greenhouse) sprayed onto their roots, and bask in LED lights in air that's enriched with CO2. The growing system and greenhouse are part of the "Eden ISS" project, in association with the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
Aeroponic farming is beginning to enter the home and specialty food markets, thanks to startups like Grove and AeroFarms. Since they rely on aeroponic mists and LED lights instead of sunlight and soil, these growing systems can support produce throughout the entire year, and in variable weather conditions. Including, apparently, the -20 °C (-4 °F) chill of Antarctica.

This successful first harvest is a boost for scientists researching ways to grow produce on interplanetary missions where astronauts would be confined to tight quarters for several years. NASA already grew lettuce on the International Space Station earlier this year, but there are only so many salads you can eat before monotony sets in. This update from Antarctica shows that astronauts could replicate this growing system in space and cultivate a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in their ships — and possibly, someday, even on Mars or the Moon.
NASA estimates that four crew members would need 24,000 pounds of food to sustain themselves on a three-year journey to Mars. Which can get very heavy and take up a lot of space. NASA is already working on light, durable packaging for interplanetary missions, but with a viable aeroponic system, they might not have to pack quite so much. Astronauts could grow at least a portion of their food on their ship, which would lighten the load (since there's no soil required) and also give them access to fresh produce. Because freeze-dried ice cream must get old after a while.
This isn't the only technology that might give astronauts more culinary options in space. The Japanese company Open Meals is working towards teleporting food through digitization and connected 3D bioprinters. If they reach their goal, astronauts could theoretically be snacking on tuna nigiri (or whatever else tickled their fancy) while orbiting the red planet. At least for now, though, they'll have to settle for salad. Lots and lots of salad.


If you ever walk across the Point Street Bridge, you may wonder how "stuff" gets down onto the slowly decaying wooden guard piers. It's not just jetsam left behind by an extra high tide, though there is some of that.
No, it's stuff left behind by crab fishermen and others who go out on the piers. And how do they get there? A recent pedestrian noted the answer: acrobatic disciples of Isaac Walton – or someone – has installed a climbing rope for the brave and adventurous. First part of the adventure: deciding how many years the rope has hung there... rotting.
that bridge is a dead trap anyways, the lack of lighting, broken signs and lack of maintenance makes it look abandoned. Does this area pretend to be the grand entrance to the knowledge district?
Certainly agree on the maintenance issue. That's the RI way: build a bridge and years later, when it's about to fall down, build a new one. And when it snows, don't look for anyone to shovel those much used sidewalks.
By the way the Jewelry District Assoc. prefers never to hear, see or say and truly resists typing the term "knowledge district".

Skyline from Lake Harriet (south end). Minneapolis, MN.
Scott and I were able to take a long(ish) walk outside for the first time since October 2010. Since this is one of our favorite things to do together, we were so excited to hit the sidewalks! When we reached Lake Harriet, the first thing Scott said was that the skyline would make a great photo since the sky was so blue, the lake is still snow covered and the trees were framing the whole thing. There are many more photos to come of the great Minneapolis outdoors!
PS I know that this will be short-lived since we do live in Minnesota. But, a girl can dream!

The 67th International Motor Show in Frankfurt was quite an experience! Rightware participated in the New Mobility World exhibition for six days of demos, meetings, and presentations. We enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces, making new connections, and spending day after day discussing automotive UIs and the connected user experience.
IAA offered a great opportunity to present the Kanzi story from end to end. Visitors began with hands-on demonstrations of Kanzi Studio, our core UI development tool, and witnessed live UI deployment to Kanzi Runtime on commercial hardware. Our staff even took requests, demonstrating Kanzi Studio capabilities in virtually every domain imaginable! Visitors could then see a full instrument cluster design, a responsive UI design for IVI applications, and navigation with real-time 3D rendering of HERE Maps with Kanzi plugins.
This deep dive into Kanzi UI was followed by demonstration of several use cases for Kanzi Connect, our latest product enabling any data and any services on any display. This included integration of the IBM Watson AI platform to form an Intelligent UI, as well integration of three devices into a single virtual user interface across multiple displays. Finally, all this came together with an e-Cockpit developed by our parent company, Thundersoft, showing Kanzi-powered UIs on a QNX-based cluster and an Android-based IVI system, seamlessly integrated with Kanzi Connect.
The New Mobility World Speakers' Corner featured two Rightware presentations, including this one on Augmented Reality as a Stepping Stone to Autonomous Driving.
Over the next month, we will be posting weekly videos from the event, with highlights from several of these demonstrations. Check back on our blog often!

John Petrucci: The Ultimate Evolved Guitarist
Corbin Reiff
As Dream Theater gears up for another epic world tour, Petrucci says he hopes to have a solo album out by 2014, his first in eight years.
As a longtime Mesa/Boogie devotee, what Boogie amps did you use in the studio, and what, if any, other amps did you throw into the mix?
The studio was all Boogies, and for the most part it was the Mark V. We did a ton of experimenting using the Radial to re-amp, which was a blast, but a lot of the time we ended up going with the Mark V. I ended up playing a lot of 7-string on this album, and the Mark V really seemed to work with the range of my new Music Man JP13, which sounded very broad and alive through it.
I also set up three of my old Mark II-C+ amps. We'd go back and forth between different ones for solos. They all have different tonal aspects that are just beautiful. I used a Triaxis for clean stuff and for writing, and for the first time I used a Royal Atlantic, which is a Boogie that has a different sound from any of the Mark amps. You can hear it on "The Looking Glass." The amp has more of a big, grindy, rock sound, not as metal sounding, but really appropriate for that song. I also used it for "Along for the Ride."
You mentioned using a lot of 7-string guitar on this record. What attracts you to that extra string and how does it alter your approach to playing?
My technical approach pretty much remains the same. To me it's all about the range. When you're composing, it's freeing to play chords or lines that go below that standard E without tuning down. Keyboardists have that in their left hand, 6-string bass players have it too. It also adds some other options as far as the tonal aspect of keys. When you're tuned to standard, you have your basic E, A, and F# keys, which you can mix up when you're using a 7-string. Your centers can revolve around B or C# or D, and then if you tune the guitar down they can revolve around A, so it gives you options you don't have with a 6-string.
Your Signature Series Music Man guitar lineup is currently up to its 13th iteration. How has the JP guitar evolved over the years and how much creative input do you have with each new model?
The lineup has changed with things I discover, whether in the studio or playing live, that help shift the design and construction of the guitar as time goes by. The very first JP guitar was my first experience making a guitar with Music Man, and it came out absolutely amazing. It has that scoop for the right arm, for example. As I learn about tone woods, neck dimensions, fretboard radius, fret size, and body shape, I talk to Music Man and they make adjustments.
All my signature guitars—the 6-string, 7-string, and baritone—are tweaked a bit differently. They're different spices in my spice rack, but they're all me. Having said that, there are also a lot of consistencies in the way we lay out the controls and the bridge. Once we nail something that's just perfect, it stays that way. I have a ton of input and involvement in that process, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to work with literally the best guitar builders on the planet. I put these ideas forth and the engineers turn it into an actual physical guitar. It's an incredible experience.
What makes the JP13 different from what has come before it?
This guitar continues the evolution. It has a preamp in it, which none of the others have—that's the main difference. The preamp enables the guitar to be more alive and open sounding, and it also offers a boost. You can tap the volume control to add 20 dB of gain, so you don't need an overdrive or clean boost pedal. We also went to a 17" fretboard radius, and, of course, the guitar looks different with all the chrome and silver finish on the knobs and everything.
TC Electronic released the John Petrucci Dreamscape Signature TonePrint three-in-one modulation pedal with chorus, flanger, and vibrato. How did that come about?
TC's chorus and flanger effects have been a huge part of my sound forever. I remember discovering TC stuff when I was really young, and I just fell in love with the sound and design. They approached me. They'd never done a signature pedal before and neither had I, so it was a first for both of us.
We started to talk privately about what this might be. I mentioned that their modulation pedal was my favorite pedal of all time and maybe we could take it to the next level by making it quieter and more compact, more roadworthy, and expanding its features. They were 100 percent for it. Once we started exploring the new technology they've developed, we discovered that this pedal could do a lot more than just chorus and flange. We're going to be able to take this as far as we want, especially with the TonePrint technology. In the end, this pedal is probably one of the most versatile modulation pedals you can get, and it ended up being one of my main secret weapons in the studio.
What other pedals do you currently have in your chain?
Only a few. I have a big pedal collection I bring into the studio to experiment with a bit, but live I just use a small drawer of maybe four. In addition to my Dreamscape, I use a Boss PH-3 Phaser—I also use the MXR Van Halen one, which I like—and usually some sort of overdrive. But I don't really need an overdrive anymore because of the JP13's boost. We've experimented with Mesa/Boogie's new line of pedals, which are really cool for that, and we've used the Analog Man King of Tone. I also really like the sound of compression pedals, and the Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter is great, but the one that I really fell in love with on this album was the Analog Man Juicer.
What is next for you and Dream Theater?
Business as usual, as far as supporting this release. We have a world tour planned and that will start in Europe in January and continue across the globe. I'm also working on a solo album that's been a long time coming—my last one was in 2005—and I'm hoping to finish that by the end of the year. We're going to continue to stay busy, that's for sure!

Asus Zenfone 6 gets WiFi certification, to debut with Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box
Mohammad Farhan
Taiwan-based tech giant Asus is currently working on its next flagship smartphone, the Asus Zenfone 6. The company has already announced that it is looking forward to launching the new device in May. Currently, Asus is busy in the process of acquiring official certifications for the upcoming device. A new report online suggests that Asus Zenfone 6 has just received WiFi certification.
GizChina, a tech-based publication has stated that Asus Zenfone 6 was spotted on the WiFi Alliance website, indicating that the company is planning to bring its new line-up in the United States. Asus Zenfone 6 recently received the NCC certificate, and now having blessed with the WiFi certificate, it seems the device is almost ready to debut in the month of May. The listing on the WiFi Alliance website does not reveal many details about the device except that the Asus Zenfone 6 will come with Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box. According to the hardware listing, the device will come with support for dual-band Wi-Fi.
As mentioned above, Asus Zenfone 6 will be launching in the month of May with a radical design. Asus put out an ad in a magazine at MWC teasing the release of its Zenfone 6.
The advertisement states that the launch of the Zenfone 6 will take place in Valencia, Spain on May 14. The advertisement also reveals a silhouette of the device showing a bezel-less display without a notch or a hole-punch. Lowyat first spotted the advertisement when they picked up their MWC press pass at Barcelona.
The upcoming Zenfone 6 smartphone would debut as a successor to the Zenone 5Z, which had managed to make a name for itself in the ₹30,000 price segment. The Zenfone 5Z is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 so it is only safe to assume that the Zenfone 6 would be coming with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. The silhouette of the smartphone suggests that the phone will be coming in with a slider or pop-up camera mechanism, nevertheless, it remains to be seen what kind of mechanism Asus will be adopting in its Zenfone 6 for a selfie camera.

Cops: Man went from theft to parent-teacher conference
RONALD DEROSA
BANTAM -- A Goshen man allegedly ransacked his stepfather's home, stole $1,500 in cash, bought heroin with the money in Waterbury, snorted the heroin while driving home, and confessed the entire operation to police later that evening, according to court documents.
Benjamin D. Neal turned himself into the state police on Monday after admitting to stealing $1,500 in cash from a lock box at his stepfather's Goshen home, at 7 ½ Mile Road. Neal was linked to the crime only hours after his stepfather's significant other came home and saw the upstairs looking as if someone came in, court documents stated.
Neal, who has been living at the house, initially "vehemently maintained his innocence" when confronted by police about it, court documents alleged. When he was called by police, immediately he said he had "nothing to do" with the break-in, police said.
But when being interviewed again, he changed his mind, police said.
"You messed up," Neal said to himself, after putting his head on the table during a police interview. "Jack (the stepfather) put faith you, and you messed up,"
Neal told police he was searching for heroin money and decided to steal it from the very house he was staying at, court documents alleged. After finding the $1,500 in cash in a locked box -- which he broke into, Neal ransacked the upstairs to make it look as though someone had broken into the house, court documents stated.
After allegedly taking the money, Neal and his girlfriend went with her two children to a 3:15 p.m. parent-teacher meeting at the James Morris School, police said. The couple then went to Waterbury and Neal dropped off the girlfriend and the two children at the mall, court documents stated.
He then told police he went to buy drugs, spending $100 on a bundle of heroin and another $700 on a drug debt to the same dealer, police said. Neal then allegedly returned to the mall and snorted four packets of heroin in the bathroom, police said.
After the girlfriend got word of the break-in, the couple drove back to Goshen and Neal allegedly snorted the remainder of heroin as he was driving, police said. He later told police he was battling a heroin problem that has recently gotten worse, court documents alleged. Neal was held on a fifth-degree larceny charge. He appeared in Bantam Superior Court on Tuesday and his case was continued.

Eleague Premier Group A Predictions
Ezekiel Carsella
This weekend sees CS:GO action come back to Tbs as Na'Vi, FaZe, G2 Esports, and Renegades fight for a shot at the Eleague Premier playoffs.
Detroit Renegades
Potential to win it all
The past two seasons of Eleague have followed the same format of weekly group play leading up to a traditional single elimination bracket tournament, and season three (also known as "Premier") keeps the formula intact.
Week one kicks off the action with the winners of DreamHack Masters Malmo G2 Esports and top tier teams in FaZe Clan, Natus Vincere, and the Detroit Renegades. Teams are sorted in order of proposed placement.
Chance of making it out of groups: 90%
The Frenchman have had a rollercoaster of a year, from the highs of winning back to back attended events (DreamHack Tours and ESL Pro League Season 5) to the lows of ECS S3 and the PGL Major. Fortunately for G2, the French have all the hallmarks of a Fall run with a big win in Malmo to become DreamHack Masters and have become the favorites to top Eleague Group A.
The team led by Malmo MVP Kenny "kennyS" Schrub will not have the benefit of their coach Edouard "SmithZz" Dubourdeaux during freeze time, but the team has shown impressive resilience whether up or down by 12 rounds.
The initial match against Na'Vi will be a close one, but G2 seems to have fixed some of their previous tactical mistakes while Na'Vi is still unproven.
Are Na'Vi a relatively unproven team? Yes. In Sweden Na'Vi destroyed Virtus.Pro 16-4 to advance to the group finals against Astralis where the team was outmatched on both Overpass and Mirage. The team would go on to defeat the Detroit Renegades 2-0 to make the quarterfinals where the team
lost a thriller
to the Ninjas in Pyjamas. Despite the team's inability to contend with the world's elite teams, Na'Vi's has an extremely high ceiling largely in thanks to their most recent addition of Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko. With the incredibly powerful stars around the longtime in game leader (IGL), Na'Vi has the potential to become the best team in the world once more and their run has to start somewhere.
Losing the first game is okay because the team will face off against a Detroit Renegades team they recently defeated at Malmo. The decider against FaZe Clan will be tough but FaZe is a team that is trying to find its identity.
While my stock in FaZe is low, the team's firepower gives it a fighting 50/50 to make it out of groups. In a world full of good and holy things FaZe Clan should roll against Renegades, but the Group A winners match against G2 Esports will prove much tougher. FaZe currently dominate the LAN rivalry against G2 4-1, but that was with a much different roster and when FaZe was contending for the best team of the world. FaZe is still a strong roster with all five players able to solo carry the team, but taking John Wick x5 is not always a winning solution.
If FaZe gets their tactics together they can win the whole event, but the team feels too new to seriously do work and make it out over Na'Vi.
At DreamHack Masters Malmo the Renegades were able to take a win against a top 10 ranked team in Virtus.Pro and pushed Na'Vi in two maps to finish 3rd in their group. Hardly a terrible result considering they dropped David 'JayzWalking' Kempner right after the event and were in one of the harder groups to escape. Now featuring former OpTic Gaming member Keith "NAF-Fly" Markovic, the Renegades look to be a dangerous team to contend with. Unfortunately, the Renegades were placed in a group that contains three top 10 teams and with no real time to prepare after Malmo.
I've already made a commitment to buying a Renegades jersey should the team do the unthinkable, and that would start with an upset over FaZe. Should the Renegades do so in dominating fashion and make it past the group stage, watch for the team to make a run in the coming months.
if Renegades makes it out of groups at Eleague I'm buying a @NAFFLY jersey
— RS Zeke (@jamaican116)
G2 Esports 40%
Natus Vincere 30%
FaZe Clan 25%
Detroit Renegades 5%
