Senate votes to make animal cruelty a felony
If convicted, animal abusers can face up to seven years in prison and fines
The U.S. Senate has voted unanimously to advance the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, following House passage of the bill on Oct. 22.
The new law builds on the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act, which was passed in 2010. While it made the creation, sale, and distribution of animal "crushing" videos illegal, these acts of cruelty against animals remained legal. The videos are often made for profit.
American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) president John Howe, DVM, applauded the legislation.
"[The] vote by the Senate to advance the PACT Act is a historic victory for animal welfare," Dr Howe said. "Thanks to the bipartisan work of lawmakers and animal welfare advocates, we're one step closer to finally criminalizing the cruel and inhumane act of animal crushing."
The bill now advances to President Donald Trump to sign it into law.
Those prosecuted and convicted under the law will face federal felony charges, fines, and up to seven years in prison.

The Aga Khan University (AKU) will launch a clinical trial of a portable, low-cost ventilator that aims to make lifesaving treatment such as assisted breathing available to patients before they reach the hospital.
Ventilators are currently only available in hospitals, even though most patients with critical breathing problems need earlier access to breathing assistance. The AKU's briefcase-sized, battery-operated ventilator is designed to be used in an ambulance to reduce existing delays in receiving care.
"Every moment is vital when you're struggling to breathe," said Saleem Sayani, director of the AKU's Technology Innovation Support Centre and Digital Health Resource Centre.
"Most people with severe respiratory issues see their health deteriorate on their way to the hospital, and they typically need more breathing assistance than a simple oxygen cylinder can provide."
Pakistan also has a high burden of respiratory diseases, with pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) being two of the top 10 causes of death, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. People with severe forms of pneumonia, COPD and Covid-19 are among those who require urgent access to ventilation.
A third of all patients in low- and middle-income countries require care such as assisted ventilation before reaching the hospital, according to the World Health Organisation. Besides those with breathing problems, individuals suffering from head injuries, drug overdoses and heart conditions can also benefit from ventilators in ambulances.
"Too many precious lives are lost due to a lack of timely and effective ventilation," said Dr Junaid Razzak, director of the AKU's Centre of Excellence for Trauma and Emergencies.
"This innovation aims to bridge the gap in care during transport to the hospital, which is often the period of highest risk for critically-ill patients."
Early tests show that the prototype ventilator can provide a regular supply of oxygen that can stabilise the health of a high-fidelity patient mannequin mimicking the symptoms of a patient with respiratory issues. Clinical trials aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the device among patients with chronic breathing problems in ambulances and emergency rooms.
The prototype device also has a mobile app that allows doctors at the hospital to manage the ventilator's settings while the patient is in the ambulance to ensure that they reach the hospital in a stable condition.
Hospital staff can also access real-time data about the patient's health through the app, enabling them to take appropriate actions before their arrival at the emergency room.
All the data available on the app in the ambulance is visible to specialists in the hospital. This will enable more efficient triage, diagnosis and treatment for critically-ill patients.
The ventilator's app also contains an artificial intelligence component that evaluates the patient's data, assesses the risk to health and provides suggestions on the next steps to be taken by the ambulance paramedic.
"The use of low-cost mobile ventilators in ambulances coupled with remote monitoring from the hospital through mobile technologies has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and increase chances of survival, particularly in low-resource countries like Pakistan," said Dr Asad Latif, chair of the Department of Anaesthesiology at the AKU's Medical College.
The objectives of the clinical trial are in line with global efforts under the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 to reduce premature mortality from communicable diseases such as pneumonia and non-communicable diseases such as asthma and COPD.

Achilles tendonitis is one of the most common overuse injuries that occurs among runners and people who have foot abnormalities such as flat feet and high arches.
Achilles tendonitis refers to inflammation of the calf tendon as it attaches to the heel bone. This condition is one of the most common overuse injuries that occurs among runners and people who have foot abnormalities such as flat feet and high arches. In many instances, it is frequent on middle-aged men and people who have suddenly increased their level of walking and running activity. It is also frequent to people who play sports such as basketball, tennis and football while wearing improper or worn-out footwear.
The condition occurs when the Achilles tendon is placed on extreme tissue stress, which later causes inflammatory changes in the tissue. Complication arises when inflammatory process is not addressed appropriately because the inflammation can lead to a tear that later on requires surgery. The tendinous portion of the calf muscle has poor blood supply and requires surgery to repair it if it's completely torn.
Physical therapy is an essential part in the treatment of Achilles tendonitis. Physical therapy can address patient's pain and inflammation after injury through modalities. Most commonly used therapeutic modalities include low level laser, iontophoresis and thermal modalities. Furthermore, the use of heel lifts during acute phase of injury can significantly reduce muscular activity that will allow healing to occur.
Physical therapists can also perform manual therapy, techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, cross friction and myofascial release techniques to calf muscle and tendon to improve tissue blood supply, muscle contraction and lengthening. A series of eccentric program such as calf-lowering exercises is also found to be beneficial in improving function and reducing pain. Other techniques are being used such as stretching and strengthening exercises to correct flexibility and strength after pain and inflammation has subsided.
Last, but not least, patients are also evaluated and provided education on importance of proper footwear and orthotics during walking or running activities to prevent future re-occurrence of injury.
Aldrin De Peralta has 18 years of professional experience in the field of physical therapy and specializes in myofascial pain and orthopedic conditions. He is a certified myofascial trigger point therapist and is SFMA certified. De Peralta uses an eclectic approach and evidence-based treatment in the management of pain, restoring function and reaching patient's highest of level independence.


First off a h/t to a dear fiend, for Crackdown on herd-share farms over certification which is such a classical attack of the FeeMarketeers meets the LibertarianistaIsts and them meets that hope that some how the raw food is gonna save the problem.
The article says that this is not a matter of pasteurization, since 'raw milk' is legal in California. So we should in theory be allowed to skip over that part. I of course want to keep it as a flagged problem in the midst of all of this, since I remain very unconvinced that the cult of the raw is a gooder for the species in the long run. The first problem in that space is the problem of not getting real live natural diseases. This of course could be influenced by the fact that while I am worrying about a drug resistant strain of pneumonia in my lungs, I am ANNOYED that I am dealing with a drug resistant patient recovering not merely from the disease, but also from the drug regimen. So I have more than one dog in the fight about what is and what is not a sane working relationship with modern health, and the modern ways. I would so love to be all hippie, dippie, back to the land, but unfortunately that way leads to pain, agony and DEATH a whole lot sooner than I would prefer. So yes, technically that that of California is still as victimized by the left as the right about the war on science and the cult of the hip trip trendy.
It would of course be a wonderful day when we could clean all of this up, and have things simplified with a simple schism about those who support a national health programme under the national defense security stuff! Just one more State Security Operation designed to combatively tactically irradicatively respond to the global terrorism of the viro-sphere as to the memo-sphere as to the mundanely blowShitUppitan. But that is not going to be a simple those of Undefending White Christian America v. The Liberals any time soon.
So before we start pretending that this is a problem of the massive retaliatory government..... maybe we should be working out what it is we as a democratic society would like to construct as the laws for our society! Who knows we could find ways to allow some folks State Owned Enterprise Grants to allow them to build up Herd-Co-Ops in a way that we find democratically supportable in a Federal Republic. You know, that idea of a land of laws and not of persons with bigger asset portfolios!

Brian Hudson's Waterfall posits that people have a powerful, overdetermined attraction to waterfalls. I don't think I'm a waterfall "collector" in Hudson's terms, but several times in my life I've gone somewhat out of my way to see a waterfall. In that way I've seen Niagara (which is seriously not overrated) and Taughannock, the considerably higher and almost infinitely narrower spectacle a few counties to Niagara's east. My keenest waterfall disappointment came on a holiday to Venezuela about 30 years ago. The flight, on the way to a national park called Canaima, was supposed to pass Angel Falls. The pilot did his damndest to bring Angel Falls into view. He swung his 727 around the tepuy from which the Falls fall, this way and that, twisting in midair like an areobatics instructor. But either the mists that shrouded the strange flat jungle mountain were too heavy, or – so the pilot told us – the Falls were perhaps minimal or even dry that day. I don't think I'm ever getting back to Venezuela, even to a part as remote and far from economic and political unrest as Canaima. Move Angel Falls from the bucket list to, well, the other list.
Iceland lies ahead, hopefully, and I hope to get back to the Northwest of the US (or the Southwest of Canada) someday. Hudson shows that waterfalls, rare over much of the dry surface of the earth, are surprisingly common in places with the right geography and climate. Certainly it seems that in a place like Glacier National Park, waterfalls are everywhere.
When we were there two years ago, you could barely turn around without seeing an extremely impressive cascade. But Hudson also notes that such sights are ephemeral in geological terms and endangered even within the span of a human lifetime. The waterfall is "an endangered landform" (221). Climate change is melting glaciers in the highest reaches along the Continental Divide, and when the glaciers go, they will take the waterfalls with them.
Waterfalls are also sapped by demand for hydroelectric power. Niagara flows at just a half to a quarter of its natural capacity (217). As jaw-dropping as Niagara Falls is today, it was twice as much centuries ago. Hudson says that chagrin over the development and weakening of Niagara Falls led to the American national-park movement. As a result, falls-filled places like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier are safe as long as the environment can provide the water to feed them.
Hudson is good on waterfalls in literature, from Goethe's Faust ("Der Wassersturz, das Felsenriff durchbrausend") to Margaret Drabble. Much of Waterfall, though, is concerned with art. Waterfalls, Hudson argues, participate in both the beautiful and the sublime. They can please, but they can please to the brink of terror and even beyond. Since that's the case, there may be no unartistic depiction of a waterfall. Even the most neutrally "documentary" photograph, if it's a photograph of a waterfall, becomes art. Little wonder then that waterfalls are a pervasive artistic topos both East and West. Painters from England and America to China, Japan, and Australia fed their imaginations by looking upon cataracts. And as soon as photographers arrived at falls, their dynamic images of unfocusable falling water became some of the earliest "art" photographs.
I ate Shredded Wheat for breakfast this morning – the big old-fashioned pillowy biscuits – and looked on my cereal box in vain for the waterfall icon that used to assure me that I was eating the "Original Niagara Falls Cereal." I never quite understood what the colossal spectacle of the Falls had to do with a tasteless brick of insipid cereal. I reckon the stuff used to be milled there back in the day, but now I may never know for sure.

Karin Clarke Gallery is pleased to present an exhibit of new grand-scale oil paintings by Eugene painter Adam Grosowsky. To accompany his paintings, Adam has framed a series of his college-era fine art prints. The prints are particularly interesting to see in relation to his most recent work.
The subject matter in these new paintings ranges from human figures with birds and animals, to local landscapes, and what he calls Hopperesque scenes.
Adam received his BA in Fine Arts from Evergreen College in 1981, then continued on to achieve an MA (1984) and an MFA (1986) in Printmaking from the University of Iowa, which offered the first MFA printmaking program in the US. There he studied under the famed Argentinian printmaker Mauricio Lasansky (1914-2012), who established the School of Printmaking at the university
Adam relocated to Eugene and moved from printmaking to oil painting. His work immediately caught the attention of numerous west coast art dealers. Adam was hired by Lane Community College, where he taught printmaking, drawing, and painting from 1990 until his retirement in 2019.
Karin Clarke Gallery will be closed December 25 - January 1, except by appointment. The Gordon gallery will remain open.

BIO - ADAM GROSOWSKY, b. 1959
Adam Grosowsky's work has been extensively collected in the Northwest and across the US. He was featured in Lux Magazine, and locally his paintings can be seen in numerous public and private collections. Nordstrom Department Store has commissioned nearly 100 paintings for their flagship locations nationwide.
Adam was born in Chicago in 1959. He received his Bachelors of Fine Arts from Evergreen State College in 1981 and his Masters of Arts and Masters of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the University of Iowa in 1984 and 1986 respectively. During this time, he studied under the famous printmaker Mauricio Lasansky.
Although much of his training was in printmaking, his primary medium today is oil painting. His large canvasses, often portraits of women, are studies in light and dark. They are distinguished by dramatic contrasts—light or bright color against large areas of rich, dark background.
Adam was a full-time faculty member at Lane Community College in Eugene, teaching painting, figure drawing and printmaking for nearly 30 years.

One of the things that I struggle with in training is making the right choices about food the day before a hard workout.
In yesterday's post I said that I would share my menu from the day before my 13.1 time trial, a menu that I followed again the day before the NYC Half.
On both of these days, with morning runs and evening yoga classes, I refrained from eating "three square meals" and opted instead for six snacks to ensure that I would still get all of the nutrients that I needed without weighing myself down too much to get through the day's activities.
I used this meal plan as a guide for what to eat the day before and the morning of the NYC Half but made a few modifications. I ran a shorter run of 3 miles plus 3×100's. Lunch the day before the race was a peanut butter sandwich on millet bread, and on the morning of the race I chowed down on two Larabars before lining up at the start.
My post race snack did not include a shake. Instead, my family took me out for brunch at Le Pain Quotidien and I drank a cozy-warm Masala Chai with almond milk to wash down a Chia Muffin and some Quinoa Hot Cereal.
It was so fun to celebrate my new half marathon PR with El Profesor, and su madre, padre y su hermano!

Janet Yellen: Poised for Power
by Admin | Oct 30, 2013 | News, Women of Business
Janet Yellen is on the verge of becoming the most economically powerful woman in the world; she has been nominated as the successor to Ben S. Bernake, the Federal Reserve chairman. President Obama nominated Yellen for the position, and if she is confirmed by the Senate, she will be the first female ever to head the Federal Reserve, or any central bank in the Group of Seven economies for that matter.
International Monetary Fund via Flickr / Photographer: Stephen Jaffe
Yellen is currently the vice-chairman of the Fed, and is known for being a brilliant economist. She is well respected and has spent most of her career working on economic policy at top universities around the country. Her major focus has been the causes and effects of unemployment, and her appointment would likely mean a greater focus on reducing unemployment in the United States.
Not only is her mission a valuable one, but her appointment would also be symbolically significant. There are just a handful of women in top-level positions in business and government, and finally appointing a female head of the central bank would be a big step in women's fight for equal opportunity.
Former Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair wrote in Fortune that having a woman overseeing the nation's finances is long overdue. "Testosterone-laden Wall Street usually feels more comfortable dealing with guys than gals," she wrote.
"Yellen is clearly the most qualified successor to follow Ben Bernake. There's no reason to pass her over for less-qualified males," Bair continued. "Yellen already has a "Y" in her name; she doesn't need one in her chromosomes."
With her prominence and respectability in economics, Yellen is the clear choice—but will she receive more scrutiny in the position simply because she is a woman?

Mississippi retiring its rebel-themed former flag to museum
by: EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS, Associated Press
Posted: Jul 1, 2020 / 01:38 PM CDT / Updated: Jul 1, 2020 / 01:38 PM CDT
File-This June 25, 2020, file photo shows a Mississippi state flag flying outside the Capitol in Jackson, Miss. Mississippi will surrender the Confederate battle emblem from its state flag, more than a century after white supremacist legislators embedded it there a generation after the South lost the Civil War. Mississippi's House and Senate voted in succession Sunday, June 28, 2020, to retire the flag, with broad bipartisan support. Republican Gov. Tate Reeves has said he will sign the bill, and the state flag would lose its official status as soon as he signs the measure. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File)
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi officials are holding a ceremony Wednesday afternoon to relegate the former state flag to history, a day after Republican Gov. Tate Reeves signed a new law removing official status from the last state banner in the U.S. that included the Confederate battle emblem.
Mississippi faced increasing pressure in recent weeks to change its 126-year-old flag since protests against racial injustice have focused attention on Confederate symbols.
A broad coalition of legislators on Sunday passed the landmark legislation to change the flag, capping a weekend of emotional debate and decades of effort by Black lawmakers and others who see the rebel emblem as a symbol of hatred and racism.
"There are people on either side of the flag debate who may never understand the other. We as a family must show empathy," Reeves said during Tuesday's bill signing ceremony at the Governor's Mansion. "We must understand that all who want change are not attempting to erase history. And all who want the status quo are not mean-spirited or hateful."
The new law requires a ceremony for the "prompt, dignified and respectful removal" of the banner. Flags that have flown over the Capitol are being lowered and presented to the state Department of Archives and History. The Museum of Mississippi History, near the Capitol, will establish an exhibit about the retired flag.
Mississippi will be without a flag for at least a few months. A commission will design a new one that cannot include the Confederate symbol and must have the words "In God We Trust." Voters will be asked to approve the design in the Nov. 3 election. If they reject it, the commission will draft a different design using the same guidelines, to be sent to voters later.
The Confederate battle emblem has a red field topped by a blue X with 13 white stars. White supremacist legislators put it on the upper-left corner of the Mississippi flag in 1894, as white people were squelching political power that African Americans had gained after the Civil War.
Critics have said for generations that it's wrong for a state where 38% of the people are Black to have a flag marked by the Confederacy, particularly since the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups have used the symbol to promote racist agendas.
Mississippi voters chose to keep the flag in a 2001 statewide election, with supporters saying they saw it as a symbol of Southern heritage. But since then, a growing number of cities and all the state's public universities have abandoned it.
Several Black legislators, and a few white ones, kept pushing for years to change it. After a white gunman who had posed with the Confederate flag killed Black worshipers at a South Carolina church in 2015, Mississippi's Republican speaker of the House, Philip Gunn, said his religious faith compelled him to say that Mississippi must purge the symbol from its flag.
The issue was still broadly considered too volatile for legislators to touch, until the police custody death of an African American man in Minneapolis, George Floyd. His death set off weeks of sustained protests against racial injustice, followed by calls to take down Confederate symbols.
A groundswell of young activists, college athletes and leaders from business, religion, education and sports called on Mississippi to make thechange, finally providing the momentum for legislators to vote.

Armory has been designed as a tool for managing big sophisticated projects with hundreds of classes and files on the board. The main aim of this tool is to reduce the cognitive load on the developer by reinventing some of the principal ways how workspace can be organized.
This document describes most basic functions of the Armory plugin and can be used as general guidlines for it.
The Armory tool window lets you look at your project from various viewpoints and perform the tasks such as creating new items (directories, packages, files, classes, etc.), opening files in the editor, navigating to the code fragment of interest, and more.
By selecting menu item Add Tree View in the options menu.
By dragging an element to the existing Tree View edge.
By choosing menu item Add as Root to... (Ctrl + Up shortcut) in the element context menu.
Reordering of the Tree Views is available by dragging in the Tree View title.
By dragging an element to the title area.
By selecting Add as Root context menu item.
Removing Root Elements is available by dragging them to the title area.
Sometimes it is very useful to group certain elements by logic. If you don't want to create a separate class or package you can combine elements in a group. This does not affect the structure of the code, but visual perception of the class may become noticeably easier.
The order of the elements in the Tree View is defined by the current sorting scheme. To change the order you need to select a preset option or to create a new sorting scheme. To toggle the collation sequence you can click either the toolbar button or the context menu item.

Apply serum to damp, towel-dried hair. Then, using a round brush, blow-dry hair until completely dry.
For a sleeker look, you'll want the hair to lie flat against your head. This means you'll need to pull the flat-iron from the roots in the direction you're wanting to wear your hair. In this case, you'll want to style the hair away from your face.
Spray your hairbrush with hairspray. We like to use a working spray with a bit of shine for this style. Then, quickly brush and gather your hair into a low ponytail. Secure with a hair elastic. Using the same working spray, lightly mist the ends then twist into a knot and secure with bobby pins.
then flat-iron away from your face and part into 3 separate sections. You will want to part your from the top of the head to the back of each ear. Use a clip to hold each section in place.
Work through each section making sure each is fully saturated and shiny.
Secure the back section of your hair in a low ponytail with an elastic. Then you're going to split the hair behind the elastic next to your scalp and pull the end of your ponytail through. Depending on the length of your hair, you may need to wrap it through a couple times. Use bobby pins to hold in place. Last, take your side sections (one at a time) and wrap the hair over, around and underneath your bun. Again, secure with bobby pins making sure all hair it tucked and in place. Don't forget to finish with a firm hold finishing spray.
This time, instead of blow drying your hair away from the face, hold your head upside down while drying it. This will give you tons more body, especially if you're wanting a style that sits higher up on the head.
Secure your ponytail with an elastic at the crown of your head.
Then, create a tight braid and tie it off with a small clear elastic. Twist and pin the braid into a topknot. Finish the look with your favorite hairspray. SUPER SIMPLE AND CUTE!


I had a busy day yesterday. At work, I'm currently working hard on my current project. Same old story: tight deadline with lots to accomplish and all that. So having to take four hours out of my day for mandatory WUP (don't ask) training was absolutely the last thing that I needed. That's four hours of my life that I won't ever get back. Anyway, after the training, I pretty much finished most of the major functionality for the project. There's still a lot of polishing to do, much of which I hope to accomplish today since we're doing our initial build tomorrow.
I didn't have a whole lot of time after the training to get some real work done, because of my Wednesday afternoon mandolin lesson. This past week wasn't the best for my practicing, but it wasn't too bad and I did OK with Turkey In The Straw. The toughest part for me always seems to be starting a break after chopping the chords. In jam sessions, I'll often quit chopping a few measures before starting a break, but to do it properly, I really should chop chords right up to the break. More practice, I'm sure, will help me in that respect. After going over Turkey In The Straw, Jeff asked me what else I'd been working on and I told him that I could do Soldier's Joy by memory now, so we went over that. I stumbled a little bit at the beginning, but I found my groove and it felt pretty good. After that, Jeff showed me a fancier way to play it, which is great, 'cause the version I've been doing was the one I learned at my third lesson, so it's pretty simple. Having a handful of variations in my bag will be helpful -- not just with Soldier's Joy, but with other songs as well. The half-hour lesson was over before we knew it.
I came home and Mrs. Mellow was preparing yummy enchiladas, using up the rest of the leftover filling she had from last week, when tldz visited. While they were baking, we went over the exercises she's been doing in her guitar book. She's coming along really well -- she's pretty comfortable with the notes in first position on the first four strings, and a few chords. Then we ate some enchiladas.
After supper, I came down to play some BZFlag, where I got my rear handed to me by drjekyll and dogcatpig. It was lots of fun, though -- I hadn't played in a long, long time. After playing for a bit, I picked up sidelobe's copy of Speaker For The Dead and read another half-chapter before going to bed.
This morning, I got up early so I could listen to Greensboro's only alternative for real country music: the DJ beeler show on wqfs (90.9 FM), which runs from 0600 to 0800 every Thursday morning. I've been using these two hours to do some computer organization: my "Inbox" now sits at 11 messages instead of 52 and I'm taking the time to write this LJ entry. So far on the DJ beeler show, I've heard some Johnny Cash, Marty Robins, Bob Dylan, Southern Culture On The Skids, George Jones, Two Dollar Pistols, Hank Williams Sr. (my request), The Sidewinders, Loretta Lynn, Dale Watson, Merle Haggard, and lots and lots of other great stuff. This is a great, great radio show. Maybe next summer I'll see about becoming a volunteer DJ at wqfs, too. Except that if I did, the show I would hope to do would be very similar to DJ beeler's show, so I don't know if they'd want another show that's so similar on the station. I guess if I had a show, it would have more "classic" country and bluegrass, and less alt.country, but that's really only because I'm not as familiar with some of the alt.country stuff out there. Anyway, it's worth getting up an extra couple of hours early in order to catch DJ beeler's show. He spins some great tunes.
Anyway, it's getting close to the end of the radio show and, like I mentioned, I've got a lot of code polishing to do at work today, so I guess it's time to get ready.
IHNJ here, I just like saying "mandatory WUP"

US Open 2019 Men's Final Preview: Rafael Nadal vs. Daniil Medvedev
From the moment we saw Federer-Nagal in the draw for this year's US Open, we should've known we'd be in for a strange tournament. It was the matchup everyone had been wanting for over a decade, and the best we could do was a knock-off. The early exits of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Dominic Thiem further suggested as much, before the upsets of Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer confirmed it. We wouldn't be getting a 'dream' final. No, we'd get something far quirkier.
On one side, is Rafael Nadal, he of 18 grand slam titles, but on the other is Daniil Medvedev, a guy who prior to August was best known to tennis fans for his beef with the aforementioned Tsitsipas, or his attempts to bribe a Wimbledon umpire. Even after he made the final in Montreal and won in Cincinnati, he found his on-court accomplishments quickly overshadowed as her turned pantomime villain in New York, and having been fuelled by the boos, he stands on the precipice of grand slam glory. It has been a remarkable run through a remarkable tournament.
So can Nadal restore order to the realm? Or will Medvedev prove the young upstart to finally break through at the top? Read on for our preview of the 2019 US Open Men's Singles Final.
The Storylines
A matchup of old-gen (although at this point, it's more like old, old gen) and "Next Gen" there's a lot on the line when Nadal and Medvedev meet on Sunday.
Should Medvedev win, it would mark the first male grand slam champion born in the 90's (the current youngest, Juan Martin Del Potro, was born in 1988) and finally herald the start of a new era in men's professional tennis. Should the big three retire tomorrow, there would finally be at least one player with the credentials to replace them at number one.
For Nadal, a win is important as much for his historic standing as his current ranking. The title would put him 640 points behind Novak Djokovic in the fight for year-end number one, while also giving him major number 19 and further boosting his GOAT case, being only one behind Roger Federer.
Having dropped a grand total of one set so far this tournament – against Marin Cilic in the fourth round – it's safe to say Nadal comes-in looking in pretty good touch. If there's any concern, it is his weird quarterfinal against Diego Schwartzman where he seemed somewhat allergic to holding a lead, but he mostly put that to rest with a more composed performance against Matteo Berrettini.
In contrast, Medvedev has been made to work that little bit extra, although the scalp of Stan Wawrinka in the quarters is a bigger name than anyone Nadal has taken out. That said, it's less about form with Medvedev and more about what he has left in the tank, and while he got a much-needed easy match against Grigor Dimitrov in the semis, this will be his 23rd match in a little over a month.
The Matchup
Their only previous meeting being a 6-3, 6-0 thrashing by Nadal a few weeks ago in the Montreal final, it's safe to say Medvedev has some serious work to do if he wants to turn the tables here.
The problem for the Russian – and indeed, just about everyone else on the tour – is that Nadal is as capable of beating you by grinding you into dust into forehand, as he is pulling miraculous shots out of his too-tighty whities. Facing such overwhelming play in Montreal, Medvedev panicked and started trying weird drop shots and ill-timed net-approaches in an attempt to end points quickly. Obviously it didn't work, and the match ended up being easier for Nadal than many of his practice sessions.
That said, it doesn't mean we'll get a repeat here. Far from it, actually. While his way of hitting the ball is noticeably different, Medvedev might be the closest thing the ATP tour has to a Novak Djokovic clone, and like the Serb, he is at his best when he settles into a rally and tries to win with metronomic consistency and depth, instead of any one shot. In other words, Medvedev should've spent the past 48 hours watching this year's Aussie Open final on repeat.
Assuming he finds that depth, there are then two more specific questions Medvedev must answer. The first is whether he can get out of defense/neutral when the opportunity arises, particularly in terms of opening-up the Spaniard's backhand side. In a righty-lefty matchup – and particularly against Nadal – this is a high-risk, high-reward game, as it means hitting into Nadal's forehand first to create the angle, and if executed improperly will put the Russian right in-line for the battering-ram. Still, it is undoubtedly the best way for the Russian to end points, and while he'll definitely be able to make use of his favoured crosscourt backhand to do so, the way he's been able to flatten-out his down-the-line this past fortnight, the latter shot could end up being the bigger weapon.
The second question is how Medvedev fares in the battle of serves. The Russian needs cheap points in his own games if he is to have the confidence to attack, and then get enough Nadal serves back into play to get those opportunities to do so. At 6'6 with a very solid return game, he is – at least in theory – well-equipped to do both.
On the other side, that last sentence illustrates why Nadal is such a commanding favourite, and why I've had to spend most of this section talking up Medvedev. Theory is one thing. The reality, which Nadal has shown over and over in the past 36 months, is that he is as ruthless as he is relentless, and is as capable of steamrolling his opponent as he is going through him.
Nadal in Four. Assuming Medvedev doesn't show-up with the same ill-advised game plan he had in Montreal, he should be able to keep things interesting, but it's one thing to push Nadal, it's another to beat him. In the end, Rafael Nadal will be the last man standing, and with it, earn his nineteenth grand slam title.

The children's book I illustrated, my very first one, called Nini Spergelini is now out and available on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
Buy on Barnes and Noble.
Illustrating a book was harder than I thought mostly because I had not picked up a marker in a couple of years, not seriously anyway. I also had a hard time drawing somebody else's thoughts. I am used to, as most artists are, taking some input from a client and then running with it. Tweaks aside it's usually a one brain activity so getting a drawing to a place we were both happy with was a challenge. Certainly I learned a lot in the process and I look forward to giving it another go, both in this way and trying one on my own too. All I need now is the time.
Here is a video of the largest page being drawn. I forget how fast I time lapsed it but it was many many hours. I think it was spread out between a couple of days too if I remember correctly.

Q: Get latest version from solution and all its projects from command line I created a Visual Studio solution with a project called ProjectMain, and other three projects that where added from other locations (with the "add existing project")
If i try to get latest version from Visual Studio IDE it works fine (right click on Solution1, get latest version). This way ProjectMain, Project1, Project2 and Project3 are downloaded from TFS to their respective local paths, which is OK.
I need to do the same thing but using only one TFS command line sentence.
Something like this:
tf get $/TeamProject/Solution1
The solution file has information of every project that belongs to it, so I thing it's possible.
How can I do it with just one tfs get setence?

A: Unfortunately visual studio does some magic there and dad the contents of the solution files and does gets accordingly.
The tf change does not naivety understand solutions.

The test chemical is applied topically to a three-dimensional RhE model, comprised of non-transformed human-derived epidermal keratinocytes, which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multilayered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers representing main lipid classes analogous to those found in vivo.
Chemical-induced skin irritation, manifested by erythema and oedema, is the result of a cascade of events beginning with penetration of the stratum corneum and damage to the underlying layers of keratinocytes. The dying keratinocytes release mediators that begin the inflammatory cascade which acts on the cells in the dermis, particularly the stromal and endothelial cells. It is the dilation and increased permeability of the endothelial cells that produce the observed erythema and oedema . The RhE-based test methods measure the initiating events in the cascade.
Cell viability in RhE models is measured by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT [3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, Thiazolyl blue; CAS number 298-93-1], into blue formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues (25). Irritant chemicals are identified by their ability to decrease cell viability below defined threshold levels (i.e. ≤ 50%, for UN GHS Category 2). Depending on the regulatory framework and applicability of the Test Guideline, chemicals that produce cell viabilities above the defined threshold level, may be considered non-irritants (i.e. > 50%, No Category).


WASHINGTON — Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted Monday that his controversial plans to address Congress are not aimed at disrespecting President Barack Obama, even as he blasted the U.S. leader's bid for a nuclear deal with Iran as a threat to Israel's survival.
"I have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these dangers while there is still time to avert them," Netanyahu said during an address to a pro-Israel lobby in Washington.
As Netanyahu spoke, Secretary of State John Kerry was opening a new round of talks with Iran aimed at reaching a framework nuclear deal ahead of a late-March deadline.
Netanyahu's visit to Washington has exposed deep tensions with the White House. The centerpiece of his trip is an address to Congress Tuesday that was orchestrated with congressional Republicans and without the knowledge of the Obama administration.
Still, Netanyahu insisted that the relationship between the U.S. and Israel remains strong.

Q: Do servers do their own load balancing? (The cores. Single server system.) When I look up load balancing, everything I see is talking about distributing traffic to multiple servers. I did a Google search for "single server" and "one server" in this context, and don't see anything relevant.
I know an O/S can do it's own load balancing (cores on a processor), and processors also do their own load balancing (virtual cores). I know you can also direct threads to cores via software.
So if you have a single server (1 rack or 2), that can handle the TCP/IP load you will be dealing with, does the O/S on the server keep all the cores working, or does that need to be handled with a software (or hardware?) load balancer? The particular application involves web traffic, and also the company running ERP software on the server for its employees.

A: I think the terminology you are looking for is 'multitasking'. Windows server 2008 is a multitasking operating system and run multiple processes in parallel. Out of the box the OS will distribute the load across the available cores/threads. You don't need a load balancer

A: Short Answer: No
The hardware provides CPU cores to execute instructions, and instructions can be directed to particular cores, but the actual decision-making as to which instructions go to which core (called 'scheduling') is handled by the kernel of the OS, not by the hardware.
In practical terms, from a sysadmin's point of view, it's generally not something you need to be concerned with. As mentioned in ivanivan's comment, almost any modern server software is multi-threaded--ie it's written to take advantage of multiple cores--and even if you're dealing with single-threaded applications, the kernel will still run the different programs (and different instances of the same program) on different cores. Depending on the OS, it's possible that you could gain little performance improvement by instructing the kernel to use a different scheduler than the default (*NIX kernels generally have several compiled in to choose from), but no, you definitely don't need to add any hardware to manage this, and except for some really unusual workloads (which yours is not), leaving the default scheduler alone is usually the way to go.
Longer Answer
Contrary to Iain's answer, multitasking is actually a broad term that covers any technique by which a computer can execute more than one program at once. Multitasking was widespread on single-core systems for decades using the 'time-share' approach, in which the kernel runs (or technically, sends to the CPU to be executed) a few instructions from program A, then a few instructions from program B, etc, and keeps looping through all running programs round-robin style.
What you're asking about is properly called multi-threading or parallel processing. You can have single-core multitasking, as explained above. You can also have the converse, in which a single program is performing a task that isn't sensitive to the order in which the component pieces of the task finish, like compressing a bunch of chunks of a file. The kernel may well split those chunk-compressing instructions among different cores, (which means it's multithreaded), but all of those threads come from the same 'task', which is one program compressing a file. Multitasking and multithreading are related, but not interchangeable, terms.
Wikipedia's page Thread(computing) breaks this down in considerable detail, including a short section called "Threads vs. processes", which addresses the confusion between multitasking and threading.
Suggested search terms to find more information on the subject (without being drowned in irrelevant results pertaining to network load-balancing between different servers):

*

*parallel processing

*multithreading

*thread scheduling

*kernel scheduler

And if you want to get into the challenges and pitfalls involved in writing multi-threaded software, look up "thread-safe programming".

Q&A: Stephen Curry
Posted by Unknown on Sunday, March 01, 2015 with No comments
Courtesy of James Herbert
Steve Kerr said that he thinks people relate to you more than somebody like LeBron because you're a normal-sized human being. Think that's true?
Yeah. I mean, I'm not the most athletic guy. I might look normal, I guess, my physical stature. I don't know, I guess a lot of people see what I do on the floor and think that they could probably do some of that stuff if they worked at it, as opposed to being able to jump 40 inches.
How hectic was All-Star Weekend, scale of 1 to 10?
9.5. From the time we landed until the time I left on Sunday, it was pretty chaotic with the scheduling and stuff we had going on. Obviously New York is so busy all the time. It was cold, but I enjoyed the whole weekend, all the events that we did. And obviously playing in the game on Sunday was crazy.
Do you think you can learn about someone's personality by the way he plays? Like if he's unselfish on the court, he's unselfish in real life?
I've seen it where it's the opposite of what you might think. Obviously everybody, if you're playing in the league, you've got to have somewhat of an ego about how you play the game. And confidence. You're not selfish or anything, but you have that never-back-down kind of mentality that you've had since high school to get to this level. We all have that in common. A lot of guys are able to separate how they act off the court versus how they act on the court.
I saw an interview with Kobe the other day and he was saying camaraderie was overrated. You guys seem to have the loudest, most involved bench in the league — does that matter?
Yeah. You gotta have everybody into it and know the five guys on the floor have those guys on the bench that are supporting them, keeping them into it. Everybody's locked in. For a team like we have where everybody plays and contributes, you gotta have that sense of unity. When guys are standing up, clapping and talking on the bench, everybody's engaged, you usually play better.
Can you imagine a more fun way to play basketball than the way you guys are right now?
I can't. Everybody's involved. Everybody has a role on the team. When we're out there, the way we play is pretty high-intensity, high-paced. And it's fun. It's a fun game of basketball, and nobody cares who gets the credit really. It's easy to say that, but it really does exist on this team. And that's something you don't take for granted because it doesn't happen very often.
It seems like everybody kind of wants other guys to get credit.
We have a lot of unselfish guys and we have a lot of guys that are just wanting to win. And we're at all different parts of our careers, but when you have everybody with the common goal of winning, it doesn't really matter how we get there. I want Shaun to play well, I want Klay to play well because that makes everybody play better. We've had guys that have been on teams that have had great stats, but not won. And we've had guys who have had limited roles on winning teams. Everybody brings something to the table. In that regard, it makes us go. It makes us click every single night.
What kind of memories stand out from when you first came into the league?
The progression. It didn't come easy. I struggled in my first few months. It took me a minute to find my role on that team that we had and get comfortable. But basically maybe a couple weeks ago [from this point] during my rookie year, was when it actually clicked and I figured it out and made that push, trying to catch up with Tyreke [Evans]. It was a different dynamic, obviously, a rebuilding team. We only won 23 games. But we had fun just playing and getting better, a lot of young guys.
Do you ever kind of pinch yourself and think about how far this team has come?
No doubt. Six years in. It's more funny that I'm the last one standing from my rookie year. D-Lee and myself are the last ones from my second year. So it's kind of crazy just to see the change. It's all obviously been for the better. We've got a great fanbase that deserves a winning team. We're trying to make it happen for them.
Worst habit?
Candy.
Did you get the Maynards that you wanted to find?
I did. Speaking of, I got blessed. [He whips out three different kinds of Maynards candy that aren't available in the US.] You reminded me.
What was your favorite Sociology class?
Probably Gender and Society. Because I had a good professor who was very opinionated about that. So we had great debates and stuff. And a lot of it was about parenting, which is a phase of life I'm in now. I learned a lot about social pressures and, I guess, challenging the norm. Which our professor did a lot with her kids. Some of the stuff I didn't agree with, some of the stuff I did. It was the most engaging class.
You think back to that stuff now when you're raising your daughter?
Yeah. And it's actually, it's surprising I'm not as — how do I put it? — I guess with my daughter I'm more inclined to get her into both sides of the gender-norm conversation when it comes to things she's interested in. Not forcing her into pink and dolls and all that kind of stuff. Kind of doing mini-experiments to see what she gravitates towards without outside influences.
What is she gravitating towards?
I guess the term is 'tomboy,' but she's more into hands-on activities. First, she's got my wife, who is huge into tea parties. She's two years old, she loves tea parties. She likes dolls and bears and stuff like that. But she's real rugged about it. So she goes outside and loves nature and plays with cars and all that kind of stuff. So it's kind of funny to see how it's kind of back and forth. Which I guess is both my wife and my influence on her, too.
Can you tell me a bit about your thesis on tattoos?
Still in progress. But it came about during the lockout. I was taking classes on campus at Davidson. I was in my stats class, my methods and research class — it wasn't my favorite. I was in the car one morning before class, on the way up there, and Carolina Panthers football was the topic on sports radio on the way up there. And they were talking about Cam Newton and his run-in with the owner of the team, Jerry Richardson. They were talking about how the first thing Jerry Richardson asked was, 'Do you have any tattoos?' And Cam said no. And Jerry Richardson said, 'Good, keep it that way.'
It became a big debate as to why he asked that question, what he was inferring about his background. And, too, basically, limiting Cam's freedom of expression and how that would be being negative right off the jump. So I was trying to figure out a topic a week prior and that one was just like, I'm in the right field to interview people and to get inside stories and background from all sports. I wanted to see where it goes.
You said on Twitter that you don't anticipate getting into coaching after all this. Why not?
I hope to play until I'm like 38 or something, and that's a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family's part. That's more what I was thinking about long-term — being able to spend time with my kids that'll be somewhat grown by then, and enjoying life outside of basketball. I want to be involved in the game somehow, but I think just the time commitment of coaching is not very attractive to me if I play as long as I plan to play.
What drives you?
My faith and my family, man. That's basically it. I've been blessed with talents to play this game and been put on a stage to impact a lot of people. I don't want to take that for granted. That's what drives me.

Proposed BID (Business Improvement District) Scheme – Local Government Act 2001 as amended by the Local Government (Business Improvement Districts) Act 2006
A proposal to establish a Business Improvement District (BID) and approve the implementation of a BID Scheme has been received from the Drogheda Business Improvement District CLG in respect of the former administrative area of Drogheda Borough Council and an area north of Drogheda as defined in the map contained in Appendix 2 of the proposal.
The purpose of a Business Improvement District is to enable the ratepayers within the boundaries of the proposed BID to draw up a scheme of projects, services and works which are additional to those provided by Louth County Council and will be carried out for the benefit of the BID District.
If the Local Authority approves the proposal, having first conducted a plebiscite of local ratepayers, the BID Scheme will last for five years and be financed by an annual BID contribution levy imposed on and collected from ratepayers of rateable properties within the proposed BID area.
The key objective of this BID Scheme is to continue to develop and implement a series of new and additional initiatives designed to both further promote and improve the trading environment for the area within the proposed BID area in which the ratepayers operate their businesses.
A map of the proposed BID area, as defined in Appendix 2 of the proposal, is on public display as indicated below.
The BID Proposal may be inspected at the offices of Louth County Council, County Hall, Millennium Centre, St. Alphonsus Road, Dundalk, Co. Louth, A91 KFW6 and Louth County Council, Civic Offices, Fair Street, Drogheda, Co. Louth, A92 P440 from 9.00am on Wednesday, 1st May 2019 to 5.00pm on Thursday, 30th May 2019 (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays).

Bombardier says Russian turmoil affecting business aircraft but not Q400 talks
Ross Marowits, The Canadian Press July 31, 2014
MONTREAL – Bombardier says a Russian economy weakened by Western sanctions is having an effect on business aircraft sales, but has not undermined negotiations to establish a turboprop manufacturing facility or threatened a large CSeries order from a Russian leasing company.
"So far everything is still going, maybe except for business aircraft," CEO Pierre Beaudoin said Thursday during a conference call to discuss second-quarter financial results.
"The market is weak in Russia right now and you can imagine that if the economy slows down it has an effect, but I think it's a situation that we need to follow very closely."
Bombardier reported that its overall revenues increased about nine per cent adjusting for currency to US$4.9 billion, but its net income decreased 14 per cent due to softness at its railway division.
The Montreal train and plane maker, which keeps it books in U.S. dollars, earned $155 million or eight cents per share for the three months ended June 30. That compared to $180 million, or 10 cents per share, for the same quarter in 2013.
Excluding items, adjusted net income was $192 million, or 10 cents per share, compared with $158 million, or nine cents per share, year-over-year.
Analysts expected nine cents in adjusted earnings per share on $4.73 billion in revenues, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.
Beaudoin said negotiations continue with Rostec about setting up a Q400 assembly plant in Russia, with both sides motivated to find a solution.
"Of course when and if we get to an agreement we will have to consider the overall environment and the sanctions at that time," he said. "Today I don't see that as a restriction but it's a situation that evolves."
Beaudoin added that Russian leasing company Ilyushin Finance's firm order for 32 CS300 and options for 10 more aircraft is not compromised by the political situation in Russia since the larger CSeries plane isn't scheduled to enter into service until later in 2016.
Meanwhile, the aerospace manufacturer said it hopes to make up some lost flight hours caused by a two-month grounding of the commercial jet after flight tests resume "within weeks." The test program requires 2,400 flight test hours, but Bombardier hopes to get credit for some of its ground testing.
New engines have been installed on one flight test aircraft and Bombardier is reviewing a solution provided by Pratt & Whitney to resolve the engine mishap.
"We still feel confident that we're within the window that we gave you (for entry into service), which is the second half of 2015," he told analysts.
Beaudoin said customers have expressed confidence in the performance of the 110- to 160-seat CSeries plane despite being disappointed by the engine problem.
Bombardier has used the lull in flight testing to install component and software updates and will fly in "normal mode" using its fly-by-wire computer system when flights resume.
The aerospace division had revenues of $2.5 billion as it delivered 62 aircraft and received 48 net orders. That compared with compared with $2.3 billion in revenues for the same period last year when it delivered 47 planes and received 82 net orders.
The German-based transportation division had US$2.4 billion of revenues, compared with $2.2 billion a year earlier, or up 6.3 per cent excluding currency impacts. It is continuing its restructuring, which involves reduction in jobs.
Bombardier's aerospace division announced the layoff of 1,800 employees, an organizational restructuring and the retirement of the division's CEO last week. The aerospace division has been split into three units, each reporting to Beaudoin.
The CEO said the change, which has been in the works for "quite some time", will cut 15 per cent in overhead costs and make aerospace more profitable, agile, and flexible, while the separation of aerostructures will provide more transparency about its results.
Beaudoin said a major change was warranted because he was dissatisfied with the division's executive and wanted a more direct hands-on role to monitor heavy investments in aircraft development.
He wouldn't say if a specific event prompted the change, which included the departure of aerospace CEO Guy Hachey.
"Mr. Hachey retired. That's his own personal choice," Beaudoin told reporters when pressed about the leadership change.
He also wouldn't categorically rule out further job cuts.
"I will not speculate on that one. Our goal right now is for 1,800 and we want to make sure that our three new business units work adequately."
Analysts said the results were largely in-line with expectations, while the company used $424 million in free cash flow in the quarter, better than the $602 million forecast.
"(The) free cash flow usage beat and stronger margins provide more confidence that stock is poised to bounce back in response to overly negative market sentiment," wrote Benoit Poirier of Desjardins Capital Markets.
On the Toronto Stock Exchange, Bombardier's shares lost four cents at C$3.63 in Thursday morning trading.

One among one of the most typical electrical wiring questions is regarding how to wire a swap. While employing switches at your house is very uncomplicated, wiring 1 may not be that straightforward for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are different types of switches, but for this example, let us say you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly typical swap (and also the simplest).
You'll find a few hues of wires inside a typical single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and connect them over the terminal screws - just one on top as well as the other around the bottom screw in the switch. The white wire serves like a source of uninterrupted power and is typically connected to your light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the inexperienced wire to the ground screw of your respective change.
These ways would commonly be ample to generate a standard swap do the job with no issue. On the other hand, in case you are not assured that you simply can attain the task appropriately and securely you greater allow the pros get it done alternatively. Immediately after all, you will find a cause why this process is one of the most commonly encountered electrical wiring questions questioned by plenty of people.
For some reason, how you can wire a ceiling fan is likewise among one of the most common electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this undertaking, you can use an individual change for a single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it really is only a make a difference of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan for the black wire in the change. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire needs to be connected to the black wire with the change as well.
You will discover causes why these are definitely by far the most commonly requested electrical wiring inquiries. 1, a lot of imagine it is really simple to carry out, and two, these are generally the typical electrical jobs at your home. But you then must not place your safety in danger as part of your aim to save money. The stakes could even be much larger in the event you endeavor to save cash and do an electrical wiring work without having ample information or working experience.

Why Atlanta Public Schools Is Recruiting Talent From Major Charter Network
By Arianna Prothero — July 11, 2014 1 min read
Atlanta's new superintendent of public schools is recruiting her second-in-command from a major charter school network, according to The Atlantic Journal-Constitution.
Superintendent Meria Carstarphen plans to hire David Jernigan as her deputy superintendent from KIPP Metro Atlanta, pending approval from the school board.
It looks like tapping someone from the charter school sector is part of a broader plan for the school district which enrolls about 49,000 students. The Atlantic Journal-Constitution story says Carstarphen wrote this in an email to employees:
Additionally, one of the Board's priorities outlined in its April 2014 retreat is to improve collaboration between our charter and APS community schools. I believe David will be an asset in this effort. David carries a strong commitment to Atlanta's students, and I believe he will make an even broader impact in public education in this new role."
Before working at KIPP as both a founding principal in one of its Atlanta schools and most recently as the executive director of the city's network, Jernigan was a teacher in the Atlantic public schools system.
KIPP, or more formally the Knowledge is Power Program, is a national network of about 140 schools in 20 states. It's also the winner of this year's Broad Prize for Public Charter Schools.
Carstarphen herself is a newcomer to Atlantic Public Schools. She was hired in March from the Austin Independent School District in Texas.

Students and teachers from East High School in Salt Lake City walk out of school on Jan. 25, 2023, to protest legislation that would create private-school vouchers in the state. Several years of pandemic restrictions and curriculum battles have emboldened longtime advocates of funneling public funds to private and religious schools in statehouses throughout the country.
